Housing Prioritize more affordable housing for low and middle-income families, workforce housing for teachers and first responders, and veteran and senior housing. Education Work with City College to expand the Free City College program to cover fees outside of tuition, which will reduce the cost burden on students and support increased enrollment. And work to enshrine free City College permanently in the City Charter. Economy Streamline and consolidate the permitting process, improve cross-departmental coordination, and reduce unnecessary delays–to help entrepreneurs navigate City departments so small businesses can start and scale more easily. Housing Address root causes of homelessness by expanding affordable housing, protecting tenants from displacement, and investing in mental health and substance abuse treatment. Infrastructure / Transportation Support traffic safety policies with thoughtful planning, preventative measures, and better street design to protect pedestrians. Drug Policy Advance a balanced approach to open-air drug use that combines compassion and harm reduction—including medically assisted treatment, supervised consumption, outreach, and recovery support—with clear and consistent enforcement against public disorder and drug dealing. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Focus police recruitment on officers with neighborhood ties as well as bilingual officers who are culturally attuned to our neighborhoods, to ensure the force reflects the city it serves. Education Invest in affordable childcare and support the Mayor’s efforts to deliver universal childcare to San Francisco. Infrastructure / Transportation Reopen the Great Highway on weekdays. This is an important artery for traffic, and closing it 24 hours a day has led to traffic being rerouted through our neighborhoods and an increase in pedestrian injury. Immigration Defend San Francisco’s Sanctuary City laws and push back against any efforts to weaken them. And expand access to legal defense, know-your-rights education, and culturally competent services for immigrant families. Civil Rights Defend DEI policies from federal cuts and support ordinances and budget decisions that protect access to gender-affirming care and uphold nondiscrimination standards in City-funded healthcare. Government Reform Strengthen government oversight, require performance audits and clear public reporting on contracts and spending, and ensure there are consequences when rules are broken. We must ensure taxpayer dollars are delivering the results we pay for. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Fully fund and staff the Police Department with at least 2,100 officers so they can successfully enforce existing laws, and end open-air drug dealing and brazen retail theft. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Advocate for police training that emphasizes de-escalation, crisis response, and alternatives to armed police responses, especially for mental-health and nonviolent situations. Immigration Ensure the City does not participate in federal immigration raids, detainers, or holds that lack judicial authorization, that we share no sensitive personal information or data with ICE, and that we engage in no cooperation that jeopardizes the safety or trust of our immigrant communities, including in schools, hospitals, and workplaces. Wages / Job Benefits Fight for good jobs with local hiring, prevailing wages, and strong workforce standards, and partner with community colleges to support career technical education and vocational and career track programs to help underserved communities gain access to stable and long-term jobs. Economy Prioritize first-time, immigrant, and family-owned businesses in ground-floor retail spaces. Housing Protect rent control, fund eviction defense and right-to-counsel, and ensure strong anti-displacement protections alongside any new development. Infrastructure / Transportation Prioritize making public transit safer, cleaner, more reliable, and on-time. Wages / Job Benefits Work to raise labor standards and protect worker and union rights.
