PODER SF

Happy Earth Day! 💚 🌎 The air we breathe. 🏠 The homes we live in. 🚲 The streets we move through. Environmental justice is community health. This Earth Day, we’re launching Justice in the Air — our spring campaign to support the work that keeps families healthy, safe, and resilient in San Francisco. 🌱 Join us. Donate today. Link in bio.

More tax cuts won't build more housing in San Francisco. Tax cuts only make the budget crisis worse! SF is already facing a major deficit. Cutting revenue without results means LESS housing, LESS city funding, and a BIGGER deficit. Sign our petition and tell Mayor @danielluriesf : STOP CUTTING TAXES!! actionnetwork.org/letters/stop-the-tax-giveaway-protect-affordable-housing-funds (Link in our Bio!)

There are existing principles, including the Principles of Environmental Justice and Jemez Principles for Democratic Organizing, that have been important in guiding our work. These Just Transition principles are an attempt to consolidate and synthesize various Just Transition principles from among Climate Justice Alliance members and allies, built off the deep work and discussions amongst ourselves. Understanding that Just Transition will look different in different places, we believe a core set of shared principles can strengthen our collective work. —————— After centuries of global plunder, the profit-driven industrial economy rooted in patriarchy and white supremacy is severely undermining the life support systems of the planet. Transition is inevitable. Justice is not. We must build visionary economy that is very different than the one we now are in. This requires stopping the bad while at the same time as building the new. We must change the rules to redistribute resources and power to local communities. Just transition initiatives are shifting from dirty energy to energy democracy, from funding highways to expanding public transit, from incinerators and landfills to zero waste, from industrial food systems to food sovereignty, from gentrification to community land rights, from military violence to peaceful resolution, and from rampant destructive development to ecosystem restoration. Core to a just transition is deep democracy in which workers and communities have control over the decisions that affect their daily lives. To liberate the soil and to liberate our souls we must decolonize our imaginations, remember our way forward and divorce ourselves from the comforts of empire. We must trust that deep in our cultures and ancestries is the diverse wisdom we need to navigate our way towards a world where we live in just relationships with each other and with the earth. ———- Soundtrack by @mad.lines

As ballots have started to hit mailboxes, we're sharing REP-SF's positions on the local ballot measures for the June 2 Election! We’re voting NO on Prop C and YES on Prop D to make corporations pay their fair share! Vote NO on Prop C to Reject Decreases to Business Taxes. Prop C is Supported & Funded by Billionaires & Tech CEOs! This proposition is on the ballot to be a poison pill for Prop D, the Overpaid CEO Tax. If Prop C passes, we could LOSE $30–40 million per year! Vote YES on Prop D to Increase Business Taxes. Prop D Makes Large Corporations Pay Their Fair Share. Prop D Does NOT Increase Taxes for Small Businesses. If this proposition passes, we could RAISE $250–300 million per year! Companies benefiting most from San Francisco’s economy should contribute more to the public good, supporting services and housing investments that make the city more livable for everyone. For renters, it is a matter of fairness: When inequality drives displacement and instability, asking the wealthiest corporate leaders to pay more is essential to invest in the communities their businesses rely on. BIG BUSINESSES SHOULD PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE! VOTE NO ON C AND YES ON D. Read our blog post to learn more! Please share widely! Link in our Bio! /blog/june-2026-voter-slate

Where’s the accountability? At last week’s Family Affordability hearing, Supervisor @shamannwalton pressed Sophia Kittler, the Mayor’s Budget Director, on why they’re cutting multiple resources at once that serve low-income minority communities. This moment came right after an emotional hearing on cuts to Workforce Development, and a direct answer from MOHCD that all cuts to their department would hurt low-income minority communities. Kittler responded by confirming that communities would be affected, and that effects of the proposed cuts were being reviewed. Our team at the People’s Budget Coalition responded with a presentation of the disproportionate effects these cuts would have on low-income, LGBTQ+, immigrant, senior, and other vulnerable communities. Dozens of speakers followed with testimony of how these cuts would hurt their families and communities. Enough is enough. We are mobilizing citywide to advocate against these cuts, and need YOUR support standing up for our city’s most vulnerable communities. 👉 Share this post 🔗 LINK IN BIO to RSVP for our SF Budget Town Halls! 💬 Tell the City what you want funded We are comprised of 150+ community-based groups and organizations in San Francisco.

District 11 deserves more than budget cuts and disinvestment, you deserve a People’s Budget! Thank you @chyannechensf for joining us and thank you to all of YOU for sharing your budget priorities 💕

Last week during SF Climate Week, Secretary @wade.crowfoot had the opportunity to visit Hummingbird Farm, an urban agriculture, food justice and leadership program in the Excelsior District, a project of local organization @poder.sf based on land licensed to the organization by the @mysfpuc . Thanks so much to PODER and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission for sharing their work and this wonderful space with us!
