🚊 Join DSA SF in Demanding Equitable Transit Funding
In response to Mayor Lurie’s office considering a parcel tax to address the Muni funding crisis, we joined Muni Now, Muni Forever, a coalition of community advocates and organizations, in demanding that the measure:
- Generate enough revenue to expand Muni service by 10%
- Be structured fairly, with a variable rate so smaller properties pay less and larger properties pay more
- Protect tenants from additional costs
- Scale with inflation and rising costs to prevent a similar crisis in a few years
Read the full letter here.
Make your voice heard by joining us in these demands: muniforever.org/speak-up
ICE Out of SF Courts!
Join neighbors, activists, grassroots organizations in resisting ICE abductions happening at immigration court hearings! ICE is taking anyone indiscriminately in order to meet their daily quotas. Many of those taken include people with no removal proceedings.
We’ll be meeting every Tuesday and Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM at Immigration Court at 100 Montgomery. We need all hands on deck. The 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM window is when we most need to boost turnout, but if you can’t make that please come whenever works for you. 1 or 2 hours or the entire time! We’re also holding orientation sessions for folks, but that is not required to attend. See the 🐣Immigrant Justice Court Action Orientation event in the calendar for more details.
Today: Stop the Privatization of Market Street!
We are disappointed to learn MTA staff are recommending to give Waymo, Uber, and Lyft full access to Market Street at the SFMTA Board of Directors hearing.
Join us Today, Tuesday, December 2 at 4:00 PM in Room 400 of City Hall to demand Market Street prioritizes public transportation and sustainable transportation by giving public comment on this issue.
🐣 Maker Friday
Come make with us on Friday, December 5 from 7:00 – 9:00 PM at 1916 McAllister St! We’ll be making buttons and zines. Masks required and provided. All are welcome, no experience necessary, see you there!

🐣 No Appetite for Apartheid Training and Outreach

On Sunday, December 7th from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, we will be doing a training on how to talk to stores in your neighborhood, then going out and talking with stores together! Meet at 522 Valencia St.

Rally for Equitable, Sustainable Muni Funding
Join us in support of the “Muni Forever Proposal” on Monday, December 8th at 12:00 PM in front of the City Hall steps. We will be rallying to urge the Board of Supervisors and the Mayor to support our proposal.
The “Muni Forever Proposal” plans to raise enough money to improve transit service while keeping San Francisco affordable for residents.
More details about the proposal here. RSVP here!
DSA Movie Night: Who Framed Roger Rabbit, presented by EcoSocialists!
Who killed the electric streetcar? Come watch a cartoon classic with DSA SF’s Ecosocialist working group and friends around the Bay Area on Friday, December 12 at 6:30 at the Roar Shack (34 7th St). We’ll be watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, highlighting the often forgotten sub plot, and exposing the dark history behind it. Together, we’ll learn about the real transit history behind where Disneyland’s famous streetcar comes from.
NYC 2 SF Reportback
On Thursday, November 20th, DSA San Francisco organized an event to celebrate the victory of our DSA comrade and NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, and to speak about how we can continue to achieve similar victories in SF and in other parts of the Bay Area. The event was held at the Mission Cultural Center For Latino Arts, where the energy was palpable, with nearly 200 attendees (a majority of whom were new DSA members) packing the room.
The event featured a presentation on NYC-DSA and Zohran’s success, how NYC DSA’s electoral program was crucial in building the campaign infrastructure for Zohran to succeed, and a presentation on our own chapter’s electoral successes over the years.
It also featured a candid panel discussing Zohran’s victory and how socialism can win in San Francisco (and the Bay!) featuring our DSA San Francisco electeds Jackie Fielder (District 9 Supervisor) and Dean Preston (District 5 Supervisor) and East Bay DSA member and Richmond City Councilmember Claudia Jimenez.
This event is the first in DSASF’s series of Our Time To Win events, where we hope to learn from the successes of the NYC-DSA, and train the organizers and build the infrastructure in SF to run and win socialist electoral races in San Francisco to win material outcomes for the working class. The next event is Sunday, December 7, 3:00 – 5:00 PM at 1916 McAllister St, and will involve an interactive session diving deep into the power players and structures of San Francisco. We’ll learn the landscape together so we can mobilize the working class across the city! If you’re interested in winning a socialist SF, please join and RSVP!
