Better leaders

+ Better policies

= Better San Francisco

Better leaders + Better policies

= Better San Francisco

A well run government is vital to the wellbeing of society

We believe ordinary people can do extraordinary things when we work together in common cause.


That's how we recalled the school board in a landslide.

And that's how we'll make San Francisco the best run city in the world... starting with our schools.

How we'll do this:
• Training & electing better leaders
• Advancing policies proven to work
• Holding institutions accountable through grassroots advocacy

Current projects

City Guardians AcademyScott Wiener talking to the City Guardians Academy's first class.

San Francisco's problems run deep, and it will take a team of great leaders to fix them.

We are finding those leaders, and teaching them how to navigate attacks and win elections.

Bring Algebra BackMap showing kids have access to algebra in 7th grade in Silicon Valley, 8th grade in the east bay and peninsula, but not until 9th grade in SF, Oakland, and Berkeley.

Kids who like math should be allowed to take 8th grade algebra.

In San Francisco, it's forbidden.

How far do you have to move to get 8th grade algebra?

NINE percent. That's not a typo -- that's a crisis.

We hosted a town hall in partnership with Kevin Robinson to discuss potential solutions.

Watch it here.
