Not Your Average Jane

I heard about Jane Kim through my Guardian Angel. Jane was generating support for me when I was preparing for my parole last year. She works for the Chinatown Community Development Center in San Francisco.

In May of this year I had the pleasure of meeting Jane when she took time from her hectic schedule to visit me. Aside from being stunningly beautiful and smart, Jane was down to earth and pleasant to be around. We kicked it like old friends.

Jane told me about the Adopt an Alleyway Youth Project (AAA) that she's involved in where youth clean up the alleys of Chinatown. The AAA members are involved in monitoring Chinatown's alleyways, organizing monthly community clean-ups and beautification projects, serving low-income senior tenants, community advocacy, and focusing on education. I was intrigued by those concepts because that's what I want to do after I get out of prison. Life would be different for me if there were afterschool projects like the AAA 18 years ago.

Then Jane told me she's thinking about running for San Francisco School Board. It was then that I fell in love with her. Just kidding. She said that she knew how many sacrifices she has to make to hold such an important position. However, she felt that the experience of running for the school board and the opportunity to serve the community is worth all the sacrifices and challenges. I told her if she decides to run, I would do my best to support her.

I believe Jane will make an excellent addition to the San Francisco School Board because she has the passion and commitment to help the youth get the best education that they deserve. I know she will work tirelessly with other School Board members, legislators, teachers, parents, and youth to improve the quality of education for all the youth of San Francisco.

I'll borrow a line from the movie Field of Dreams: "If you build it, they will come." If you vote for Jane Kim for School Board, positive changes will come!

How many people do you know are in their mid-twenties and running for office, especially a woman?

So, my friends, if you live in San Francisco, please vote for Jane on election day. If you can afford to, please donate money to her campaign.

On a side note, did you know that Jane is a musician?

Spread the word, exercise your electoral rights and pass it on.

This is Junichi Semitsu from P4P. It's been so long since that first San Quentin Slam Slam, where you left such a long-lasting impression on me and everyone else.

I'm disappointed to find that you're still not on the outside, but I'm thrilled that you have this blog and can spread your spirit to the rest of the world.

I have a million questions for you, but here is my first: do you have an email address? If not, how can I mail you a letter?

I am thinking of you and hope you're keeping your head up.
