when i got old enough to have children, both of my kids fathers were murdered here on the streets of oakland. >> reporter: she says in addition to helping people heal on an individual level, the vigil called on city and state leaders to do what they can to help. >> basically by more trauma recovery center, more funding in after school program, more funding geared towards helping individuals that have been through trauma be able to process what they've been through and be able to start taking initiative to heal. >> reporter: she says she has a message for anyone who may be the victim of a crime or lost a loved one. >> it does get better. ultimately, it does. you may not have that mindset right now. you may be going through a lot of hardships right now, but as long as you keep going, keep pushing through, focus on what your main goal is, it will get better. >> reporter: californians for safety and justice are continuing their fight beyond

believes in results. >> i know i was like not optimistic that this issue would get solved. i'm just hoping it will get better. >> reporter: elected leaders are working to deploy new programs and it could take some time to see changes on the streets. >> san francisco tried to cut down on illegal sex work in the mission by putting up barriers on a part of cap street to keep solicitors from cruising. a suspected sex worker was caught on camera attacking a homeless woman in the street. city officials haven't said anything about the same problems happening just a few blocks away. in piedmont, officers have arrested a man they say attacked a police chief. it happened near beach elementary school. investigators say they were in the process of chasing the man for hitting a homeless person when he jumped on chief jeremy bowers car and attacked

center, which each year organizes this annual lend a hand day. volunteers met in the morning to be assigned to homes of seniors who need a hand keeping up with their outdoor spaces. much of the emphasis is on connecting young people with those of the older generation. >> you know, yard work can be overwhelming, especially all the wonderful rain we've had. the weeds grow high, the grass fwlo grows thick, these volunteers might be getting their first gardening experience. >> these are telderly. they've got disabilities. it's much easier for people like us to go out there and do it and help them when we can. >> reporter: back at lindy's house, the 14-year-old was already a veteran volunteer. last year he signed up himself and his father to be part of the lend a hand service project. >> and i just saw it and signed up for it. looked cool. >> reporter: why? why do you enjoy doing this? >> well, sometimes, like, i don't really have anything else to do, so if you can help

someone, then you should do it, right? >> reporter: so you didn't have to drag him here, he dragged you? >> no, not necessarily. i think we like to have things do together, and it was a great part to be here, so. >> reporter: lindy spent her career teaching young children to work as a team, and she believes volunteering is especially important for a generation that often seems to lack strong connections with other people. >> yes, we are missing that very much so. >> reporter: why do you think that is? >> just because everybody's so business sichlt the kids are so programmed. they go to school and then they go to sports. and so we do need to take this time to look around and see what's needed in our community. >> reporter: there's a saying, the most important thing you can give someone besides your love is your labor. on lend a hand day, both gave a gift to each other, not to mention the cookies. >> mmm, the cookies. well, it was beautiful seeing those pictures, the

green gardens, and the vibrant flowers. that was because of of the rain, but we're not going to have any for a while? >> always close with cookies. >> oh, you're still on the cookies. >> the defining factor tomorrow, it's not terribly strong, but it's not going away, and it's going to make it feel cooler than it otherwise would. watch the screen light up around 4:00 tomorrow afternoon. and there you have it, those are 40-mile-an-hour gusts along the coast, about 25-mile-an-hour winds in the interior. it's not any stronger than today was. but it takes the temperatures -- look at the daytime highs, we're still going back up to like low to mid-70s for inland spots. mid to upper 60s for most other locations. that's just what the thermometer is going to read. when you're out there 3:00 in the afternoon and there's a 20-mile-an-hour northerly breeze, it's going make it feel cooler. so bottom line is tomorrow looks and

feels just like today did. there's not a whole lot of change. it's a pretty nice weekend, just a little cooler if you're in the breeze. watch what happens when we transition forward. look at the numbers. they were in the low 70s for tomorrow. by thursday they're the low 80s. the rest of the bay is also climbing into the mid-70s, and no wind. or, you know, the usual onshore breeze through the golden gate. it shouldn't be too overwhelming. there's a noticeable warm-up coming. it's not really kicking in until like the second half of this week. so sunday, monday, going to feel a little -- then tuesday and wednesday the warming trend is going to kick in. there's no rain in this discussion, so if we just use the long range models we can reasonably go out ten days with these. nothing. nothing shows up. there's a system that might want to get here after that ten-day period, but it wouldn't be worth chasing it that far down the models. if you look at what happens over the next ten days in terms of where it's going to rain and where it is not,

it's going to rain everywhere else except for here where we're being shielded as we go into early may. we're going stop tracking the possibility for pacific to throw storms our way as you get into may. that's typically when they go away. and they don't come back for a while. there's your seven-day forecast. look at the warm-up. oakland, you're going up into the mid-70s by the time we get to thursday. but san jose's going to 82 by the end of the week. 72 by the weekend. there is a noticeable return to average daytime highs by next weekend. so if you like sunny and warm, the whole second half of this week is your thing. and then next weekend's probably going to cool back down. similar to today. matt over to you. >> thanks, darren. giants are looking to get back to .500. they had a chance at a second straight walk-off. plus, the niners busy on day three of the nfl draft, getting deeper

their roster. san francisco drafted six more players on saturday, and they also got through the draft without trading away brandon aiyuk or deebo samuel, two players who were in tons of trade rumors over the last week. >> with the 135th pick in the 2024 nfl draft, the san francisco 49ers select jacob cowing, wide receiver, arizona. yeah, baby. >> that's the great 49er mark calling the name of cowing, who is the second receiver taken by the niners in the draft after they took ricky pearsall in the first round. last season cowing was the only wideout in the country to catch 90 passes and score 12 or more touchdowns. san francisco used their first pick of the day on wake forest cornerback malik mustapha. with their third pick of the fourth round, they selected running back isaac guerendo out of louisville, and finished with jarrett kingston and florida state linebacker tatum bethune. the niners also
