Everyone who lives in San Francisco wants this city to be a place where everyone thrives. We want a city government that works, good education for our children, and an excellent quality of life that is affordable. We know this is achievable, but the current political system isn’t working.

Families for San Francisco is our response to the crisis facing our beloved city. Regular people formed this organization by coming together across our differences to make the city work for all. We fight to put people over politics, results over tribalism.

What is a political movement? It is a group of people with a shared vision of a better world who work together through our democracy to make change.

Families for San Francisco is building our political movement with people who are usually not political. We are founded by Democrats and plan to elect Democrats but we are organizing outside of the Democratic Party establishment. We work to:

Educate our members about SF politics and policies

Activate our membership to vote together to elect candidates who genuinely care about the challenges our city faces and will get results

Organize members to hold our elected officials accountable.

We also want to recruit and train candidates to win elections in San Francisco in the future.

Many of us have traditionally paid more attention to national politics than at the local level, but now we understand the only way to improve our city is to pay the same level of attention to politics right here in our own back yard.

Families for San Francisco was formed in August, 2020. We are a nonprofit organization open to all. Please contact us at [email protected] with any questions.
