San Francisco Rising
San Francisco Rising is a grassroots alliance that has united to make lasting change in San Francisco. Our members represent the rising majority of the city – low income and working class communities of color – who contribute to the wealth and unique beauty of this city but have not benefited from its prosperity. We have a long-term vision for the city and we are in it, together, for the long run. We are uniting African American, Latino, Chinese and Filipino communities and leaders from across the city to create a new, community-based political infrastructure capable of running sophisticated electoral operations each election cycle, and winning.
The members of San Francisco Rising are base-building organizations rooted in the city’s low-income and working class communities of color. They share a common vision for San Francisco, outlined in the People’s Platform, and a common strategic analysis for making that vision a reality. They are:
