Urban Alchemy is one of those programs — their ambassadors are often spotted around the city wearing black and yellow vests or camouflage sweatshirts — that is providing a non-violent, unarmed option of de-escalation to people in crisis on the streets of San Francisco.
Miller, a third-generation San Franciscan, says moments of crisis are too often met with violence, fear and aggression. Her program trains people to de-escalate, and they're only armed with two things.City leaders gathered in the Tenderloin neighborhood Tuesday to rally support for public safety programs like Urban Alchemy. The group has asked the city for a contract extension and a total of $22.5 million for this fiscal year to fund personnel expansions in the neighborhood.
"It takes losing everything and being stripped down to your core to develop these qualities because that's why people are so effective where they are in changing this energy," Miller explained.
