We rely on Muni everyday.

That’s why we’re voting for John Avalos for Mayor. Cable cars, Muni buses and street cars are San Francisco icons, but not just for tourists’ pictures and film-set backdrops. A strong Muni benefits everyone who lives and works in this City. Our public transit system is a vital workhorse that everyday carries hundreds of thousands of San Franciscans— to and from school, work, museums, the grocery store, soccer practice and health clinics.

John Avalos Wins San Francisco Rising Action Fund Endorsement

Ed Lee #2 and Ballot Endorsements also Released

WHAT: Endorsement Release Event

WHEN: Tuesday, September 20, 5:15pm

WHERE: 518 Valencia Street, San Francisco

San Francisco is the capital of the Left Coast. We are a city that leads with progressive values at a time when the Right wing controls the public debate everywhere else. We pride ourselves in being a welcoming city which celebrates and honors its diversity.

On Tuesday, September 20th, from 5:00-7:00pm, we will be putting on a party to announce our presence in the upcoming election, release our endorsements for November 2011, and collectively celebrate our vision for the city! We welcome community members, supporters, and members of the media to come out, learn about our work and find out ways to get involved. There will be a brief program (starting at 5:30), along with light refreshments.

Location: 518 Valencia Street (at 16th Street), San Francisco, CA 94103

San Francisco Rising Action Fund is a new grassroots organization 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.

Our 10-Point People’s Platform reflects a policy agenda that will challenge the current status quo, and require the city to shift its resources and mindset to improve the lives of poor and working class people of color and immigrant communities in San Francisco.  View The Complete Platform Here
