San Francisco Rising Action Fund Voter Guide

San Francisco Rising Action Fund is a grassroots political fund fighting for the interests of immigrant and working-class communities of color, over billionaires, corporate greed, and authoritarianism. 

We are uniting Black, Latinx, Chinese, and Filipino communities from across the city to create a community-based political infrastructure capable of passing measures and electing leaders who will achieve the bold solutions we need and stay accountable to us, not Trump and his MAGA agenda or the 1% infiltrating and influencing politics. We have a long-term vision for working-class communities to thrive in San Francisco and we are in it together, for the long run.

SF BALLOT MEASURES

PROP A: YES
Fund Earthquake Safety and Emergency Response 

• YES on Prop A allows the city to take out $535 million in bonds to fund critical infrastructure improvements for earthquake safety and emergency response. YES on Prop A will keep San Franciscans safe in an earthquake, emergency or fire, improve and rebuild aging infrastructure; deteriorating pipes, tunnels, and related facilities to ensure firefighters can access enough water to fight fires from a major disaster or emergency. 

PROP B: NEUTRAL 
Lifetime Term Limits

• Prop B limits members of the Board of Supervisors and Mayor to no more than two four-year terms in their lifetimes. 

PROP C: NO 
Decreases to Business Taxes

• Created by the Chamber of Commerce, Prop C would allow more businesses to qualify for tax exemptions, which would increase the wealth of the top 1% of corporations and billionaires, while worsening the budget crisis the city is already facing. With thousands of working people already experiencing cuts to services and programs, voters should be doing everything they can to tax greedy billionaires and corporations to pay their fair share. Vote No on Prop C.

PROP D: YES 
The Overpaid CEO Tax

• YES on Prop D taxes the largest corporations, whose CEOs are paid 100 times more than the median pay of their employees, to raise at least $200M for vital city services. This only affects corporations that have over 1,000 employees, with over $1 billion in revenue. Federal cuts have gutted Medicaid and SNAP benefits and are directly impacting SF Hospitals, impacting over 20,000 San Franciscans. Prop D funds critical services; healthcare workers, first responders, public hospitals, housing, and other essential services that keep our communities and neighborhoods safe and healthy. This tax was previously in effect from 2022 to 2024, and was lowered in 2024 via Prop M. Prop D restores the original tax. 
  
  In a single day, most CEOs earn more than their employees make in an entire year. Prop D asks the richest corporations in SF to contribute a little more to protect healthcare and services without taxing everyday working people.

SF CANDIDATES

Natalie Gee For District 4 Supervisor 

• Natalie Gee is a San Franciscan that has spent over 20 years dedicated to organizing in her community. Starting as a youth organizer at Chinese Progressive Association and later becoming the Chief of Staff in the Board of Supervisors District 10 Office, Gee has been a strong voice for working families, advocating for bus service restorations, health advancements, and language access in the city. As a Sunset resident, Gee understands the needs of District 4 working families. As Supervisor, Gee will prioritize street safety, public safety, expanding housing, and protecting immigrant communities. 
  
  Gee supports the compromise for the Upper Great Highway and believes that Sunset residents should be the ones to make the decision. Gee will support putting a measure on the ballot, and advocate for residents so they can get to work, school, and appointments, while families from across San Francisco can enjoy the park on weekends.

San Francisco Board of Education

• Dual Endorsement of Brandee Marckman and Virginia Cheung

CA CANDIDATES

Connie Chan for Congress 

• Supervisor Connie Chan is a working mom, an immigrant and a long time San Franciscan, who is running to make San Francisco more affordable. Since 2021, Connie Chan has fought for working class communities against Trump’s policies as the Supervisor for District 1 on the Board of Supervisors. When Trump cut healthcare and food security programs, Connie Chan restored them as Budget Chair, giving thousands of San Franciscans access to these essential services again. 
  
  In her position in Congress, Chan will continue to put the communities that build San Francisco at the forefront; lowering cost of living, protecting immigrant communities, and representing working people not the wealthy. 
  
  The CA-11 Congress seat has been occupied for over 40 years, this is a powerful opportunity for our representative in Congress to be a real champion for working people and families. Especially as we face an affordability crisis because the federal regime prioritizes funneling money into funding war and genocide, while working families are stripped of access to vital programs and services. 

Jane Kim for Insurance Commissioner 

Alexandra Pray for Superior Court Judge, Seat 16

Matt Haney for Assembly District 17
