Lesleigh Franklin, a co-founder of the East Bay Family Institute (which provides mental health services and works with the immigrant community), told the San Francisco Chronicle that she had left her position.
Franklin's coworker, Marisol Reyna stated that
“It’s not appropriate for someone to run it who’s under so much scrutiny,” she said.
“Unfortunately Dr. Franklin was just diagnosed with an illness (that) impacted her mental state of mind on that particular day but that’s not an excuse.”
Posted on Facebook by Jordann Cordova, the footage shows Franklin telling the group of people not to park in front of her house.
From Cordova's Facebook page:
On Saturday August 4th, my family and I were on our way to a party. So we parked on public parking, in front of the white womans house in this video. This woman began to confront us and began yelling at us without reason. Keep in mind that as soon as I saw her come out of her home, I sincerely asked her why she wanted us to leave. Never did i disrespect her in any way. She wanted us to leave, as we refused she approached our car and tried to open the doors. That's when I began recording because we felt attacked and we know these situations have happened already to black and brown people because of how we look. This woman targeted us AND even questioned our status in this country. I ask people to share and find who this women who claims is immigrants attorney.
