April 29, 2020 'It's Pretty Clear Who's Responsible': Activist Shot in Philippines Recovering in San Francisco
Brandon Lee is paralyzed from the chest down and recovering at his parent’s home in San Francisco’s Sunset District.

Now, Lee is looking for affordable and disability-accessible housing in a city that has gotten more expensive since he left for the Philippines in 2010.
