Two viruses have defined 2020 - COVID-19 and systemic racism - and we have an election that could be the tipping point leading to either recovery and reform or further disregard for the health and well-being of our communities. In this profound time of change, we invite you to join us for a rich dialogue about what is at stake for our city and state this election season. The conversation will touch on voter turnout strategies and key measures on the November ballot including Prop. 15 - the Schools and Communities First measure that will raise $12 billion for California's schools and local governments.
This event is intended for San Francisco community leaders, advocates, faith-based organizations, and non-profit agencies. Attendees will learn strategies to mobilize neighborhoods, communities, and constituents for the election.
Event Host Committee: Michael Pappas, San Francisco Interfaith Council; Neva Walker, Coleman Advocates for Children & Youth; Tessa Rouverol Callejo, San Francisco Foundation; Emily Lee, San Francisco Rising Action.
