• The Daly City Council voted 5-0 Tuesday night to adopt an international bill of rights for women. The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1979 but only five cities in the nation have adopted it since including Los Angeles, Berkeley, Portland, Oregon and San Francisco, which was the first to adopt CEDAW in 1998. In San Francisco, CEDAW has led to a flagship grants program that funds agencies to help end domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking. The resolution to support CEDAW was crafted by Daly City Councilman David Canepa.
• The San Bruno Community Foundation will meet Thursday, May 28, to collect input from residents on how to spend the $70 million in restitution funds paid by Pacific Gas and Electric in the wake of the 2010 gas pipeline explosion. The meeting is at 6:30 p.m. at Belle Air Elementary School, 450 Third Ave., in San Bruno.
Those who cannot attend the meeting may take an online survey to express their opinion. Visit www.SBCFListens.com for more information. The deadline to participate in the survey is June 12.
