Our City is a progressive grassroots network dedicated to linking families, neighbors, communities and elected officials with a shared vision of a better San Francisco.

We support human and civil rights; economic, racial and social justice; open, well-run, and responsive government; LGBT rights; a clean environment; affordable housing; affordable and accessible health care; well funded public education; sensible transportation policies; fair treatment for workers; effective and humane homeless solutions; empowering neighborhoods; and electing decent, intelligent representatives who will work hard for the people they represent.

San Francisco's strength is our traditional support for these progressive principles. Unfortunately, some downtown and corporate business interests have been running well financed and coordinated campaigns to remake San Francisco into something it is not. Neighborhoods are being homogenized by corporate chain stores and gentrification. Those most unable to help themselves are vilified for political gain. A once vibrant artistic community is being priced out of the city. And above all, far too often, elected officials place the interests of their larger financial supporters over the concerns of their average constituents.

Our City is committed to organizing people at a grassroots level as an alternative to big money politics. By involving people directly in the democratic process, we can elect representatives and pass measures that support our neighborhoods and the full diversity that makes San Francisco such a special place.

We can win on the strength of our ideals and a commitment to real grassroots organizing, but we need your help. You can make a difference by volunteering your time, getting involved in issues that affect your community, and by joining Our City as a member.
