San Francisco
Democratic Party:
The Party of the People

San Francisco's Democratic volunteers, activists and elected officials are as diverse as our City, and hold a wide range of political opinions. Within our varied local Party, we unite under our shared commitment to advance our Democratic values—opportunity, fairness and responsibility— locally, statewide and nationally.




REPEAL PROP 8:

The San Francisco Democratic Party is fighting to ensure that every individual in California is guaranteed equal rights and protection regardless of race, religion, national origin, gender or sexual orientation. Please Join us in our efforts to:

• Take immediate action locally and across the state to repeal Prop 8;
• Create a strong volunteer network dedicated to civil rights for all Californians;
• Build the grassroots campaign required to defeat anti-civil rights extremists.
