Thank you for showing up for an incredible rally and march on May Day! We stood in power and community with San Francisco workers, immigrants, and everyone who values democracy.

San Francisco, we have to keep pushing to end the 90-Day Limit on Family Shelter policy. Our Board of Supervisors failed ot pass the resolution to end it despite ALL of public comment being families traumatized by being forced out of shelters onto the street. Mayor Lurie and the Supervisors need MORE PRESSURE! #SFPol https://indivisiblesf.org/call-scripts/2025/4/22/mayor-lurie-bos-no-more-children-on-streets-2
Help the Roxie Theater buy their building!
We’ve worked with the Mission Roxie Theater--a cultural institution since 1934--a lot this year. It hosted showings of “Democracy Noir” that raised money for us and they rent us our current meeting space. https://roxie.com/about-us/history/?mc_cid=0dde44ab0e&mc_eid=8bb0a26139
Now the Roxie is working to raise $7 million to buy the building it occupies.
You can help by making a one-time gift or becoming a monthly donor to the Roxie. Learn more at Forever Roxie. https://roxie.com/forever/?mc_cid=0dde44ab0e&mc_eid=8bb0a26139

Please remember your daily calls and emails to Mayor Lurie and your Supervisor to reject their 90-day eviction policy. Tell them: "No more children living in the streets!" https://buff.ly/xt6nOrl
Their has been no movement yet from City Hall so we need to keep up the pressure!

Our members marched and volunteered to wear green vests at the People's March and Rally with Alex U. Inn and Juanita More! We love our friends who do so much work to unite impacted communities here in SF. Here are some photos from Pro Bono Photo photogs Bill Clark, Stephanie Moran, Cornelia Grimes, Terry Scussel, and Camilo Lamus. #SFPol https://www.probonophoto.org/2025/12Apr25SFPeoplesMarch
Scenes from the People's March & Rally with Alex U. Inn, Juanita More, and... Indivisible SF?! Yes, our members marched and volunteered to wear green vests and help the march proceed safely! The People's March is a cornerstone of SF culture and unites the LGBTQIA+ community with other vulnerable communities in the city. If you went and had fun, contribute to their venmo @pm_2020! #SFPol
Call Mayor Lurie and your Supervisor to tell them to change policies that are forcing children and families to live on the streets! https://indivisiblesf.org/call-scripts/2025/4/8/mayor-lurie-bos-no-more-children-on-streets?mc_cid=ac9c276241&mc_eid=8bb0a26139
PEOPLE'S MARCH! APRIL 12! EMBARCADERO PLAZA! NOON! Get off the socials and into the streets with Alex U. Inn and Juanita More! We'll be there. You should be there too! #SFPol #USPol https://buff.ly/ZS7JKN8
If Connie Chan is your supervisor please email her and ask for a general fund transfer to Muni to stop the summer cuts! The SFBOS can still do this. Chan is budget chair and so far seemingly blowing off constituents who ask for this. #sfpol
Muni ridership is surging:
- 78% of 2019 ridership on weekdays
- 92% on weekends
By forcing cuts now, Mayor Lurie (by way of 4 MTA directors who loyally voted with him) is throwing a monkeywrench into one of the few things going *well* in SF.

I’m in the Chronicle writing that we should be worried about service cuts taking Muni buses off Market Street, not trying to put cars back on Market Street.

See you there! Rally at Civic Center Plaza at 1 PM on Saturday, April 5 with 50501 SF and
Indivisible SF for the Hands Off Mass Mobilization Day.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. San Francisco
(and the nation) is fighting back! https://buff.ly/XOjIgSm
Swing and a miss from Board President Mandelman: congestion pricing “was a strategy that we were very much looking at before the pandemic. Right now we would like to see more congestion and folks going into downtown.”
Actually congestion is bad. What we’d like to see is more folks going downtown on BART and Muni, and no cuts. https://abc7news.com/post/san-francisco-leaders-considering-congestion-pricing-similar-new-york-downtown-recovery-continues/16090937/ #sfpol
Help Prevent MUNI Service Cuts
Before Saturday, March 29: Call your supervisor and say, “As your constituent I urge you to support a transfer from the City's General Fund to SFMTA to prevent drastic service cuts.” https://indivisiblesf.org/call-scripts/2025/3/tell-your-supervisor-prevent-drastic-muni-service-cuts-update
Before Monday, March 31:Email the SFMTA Board of Directors at MTABoard@SFMTA.com, urging them to use the SFMTA reserve funds to prevent service cuts.
SF keeps doing the same thing—enforcement-only drug policy—and expecting a different result. Embarrassed for my city, but proud to be represented by Jackie Fielder:
“We have not scaled up respite and treatment. An enforcement approach divorced from public health goals will lead to more arrests of drug users.”

Shelter Stability Now: Stop Family Evictions in SF. The Mayor and our Supervisors are implementing a policy that forces vulnerable families onto the streets, exacerbating San Francisco’s homelessness crisis. Contact your Supervisor and the Mayor and tell them to stop family evictions. https://buff.ly/H2bsrEL

Barriers to SF pedestrianizing (non-park) streets all over like Paris:
1. Driveways everywhere. Lack of back alleys like some cities have (not sure about Paris)
2. Alternatives to driving not improving fast enough
a. Transit service levels continuing longterm decline
b. Bike infra expansion slow, piecemeal
3. Politics around funding: the most carbrained 34% of voters can sink a bond. Strongly incentivizes conservatism on streets

Please send letters here, and find your district supervisor's phone number and call them and ask for a general fund transfer to avoid cuts. #sfpol
