State Senator and Committee Chair Aisha Wahab emphasized the importance of planning for social issues like human trafficking and homelessness in light of the upcoming major sporting events. The meetings included insights on how to treat the homeless humanely, indicating a broader social responsibility connected to such large-scale events.
Wahab highlighted, 'There’s nothing bigger than a World Cup and even the viewership compared to anything else is significantly higher,' emphasizing the prominence of the FIFA World Cup over other events.
Zaileen Janmohamed, the CEO of Bay Area Host Committee, expressed the intent to include all nine counties, saying, 'Most people who live in the Bay actually won’t go to a FIFA World match, so it's our responsibility to ensure citizens are engaged.' He highlighted the need for activation and engagement throughout the region.
As major events like the Super Bowl and FIFA World Cup are set to take place, there’s a collective agreement on the priority of addressing social issues, such as human trafficking and homelessness, to ensure a humane experience for all.
