Democrats on the Move
Bringing the SF Democratic Party to You
After the last election, one thing became clear: people across our city are eager for more connection, more accountability, and more meaningful engagement from the Democratic Party. That’s why we’re launching Democrats on the Move—a citywide campaign to meet you where you are, especially in neighborhoods with historically lower voter engagement.
Why We're Doing This
Too often, politics can feel distant—even in a city as civically engaged as ours. We want to change that by bringing the San Francisco Democratic Party closer to you, the People. Whether you're new to civic life or have been fighting for change for decades, you deserve to be seen, heard, and empowered.
We’re focusing on communities that haven't always felt represented, connecting people with local Democratic clubs, and making sure every neighborhood has a voice in shaping our shared future.
Join Us
We’re bringing the Democratic Party to you—so let’s build something better, together. Whether you want to learn, volunteer, organize, or simply be heard, now is the time.
