The C.L.A.E.R. Project is thrilled that First Lady Michelle Obama has chosen San Francisco as the starting point for her campaign to bring attention to the importance of volunteerism. The city of St. Francis is famous for its devotion to service and giving, and we are proud that First Lady Obama has acknowledged that longstanding commitment.
It is admirable that First Lady Obama is going to devote her time Monday to building a playground. However, we do wish the First Lady Obama’s would make an effort during her trip to recognize the countless numbers of volunteers working with San Francisco’s most difficult and disenfranchised populations. San Francisco, despite being one of the most beautiful places on earth, is a city plagued with homelessness, street violence, and a growing permanent underclass. There are individuals through this city that dedicate their lives to attempting to eliminate poverty and pain from the lives of the most indigent. These individuals deserve recognition from the First Lady of the United States.
The C.L.A.E.R. Project hopes the First Lady’s trip is filled with health, happiness, and illumination. We also hope she is able to become familiar with the issues that plague our city’s poorest residents, and bring those concerns back to Washington and effect real and meaningful change.
