You could say we're into long-term commitments 💜🤍💛 LWVSF started in 1911, nearly a decade before the national League launched in 1920.

For over 100 years, San Franciscans have been organizing, educating, and showing up for voters. We're still here. Still nonpartisan. And still in it for democracy.

I'm still SHOCKED by the obscene rise in billionaire election spending since Citizens United in the NYT piece, despite already knowing that election corruption w/ $ was profound. (Recall that BCRA fought dangerous campaign $ in *2002*)

The article data didn't have a graph, so I made one to show it.

You care about our city — turn that care into action! Come an election kickoff meeting to see how you can volunteer to help San Franciscans navigate elections and feel informed, not overwhelmed.

A photo of a street running up a hill in San Francisco with apartment buildings on either side. Overlaid text says "Why are the commissions that keep us safe at risk?" and "Wednesday, March 11, 6pm PT, The Future of Independent Commissions in San Francisco: Responding to the Recommendations of the Commission Streamlining Task Force."

San Franciscans voted to streamline city commissions—not to silence the public and concentrate power behind closed doors. Changes are moving fast that could weaken your ability to have a say in decisions that shape your life.
