The League of Women Voters of San Francisco mourns the passing of Senator Dianne Feinstein. She was a tenacious trailblazer who has forever changed our city, country, and world. Read our full statement: lwvsf.org/home/f/lwvsf-state…
Quote from Alison Goh, President, League of Women Voters of San Francisco: "Until the very end, Senator Dianne Feinstein was, at her best, a fighter. She chose to use the power she had to fight for the powerless, to push back against injustice, and to break down walls so that others can now follow in her footsteps.”

It could have been easier for San Francisco voters to know who supports and opposes each local ballot measure. Unfortunately, for the March 2024 election, the city decided to opt out of a state law intended to give voters this important information. lwvsf.org/f/missed-opportuni…

Missed opportunity for greater ballot transparency for SF voters

California voters will notice something new on their ballots for the March 2024 election. Short lists of who supports and opposes each statewide ballot measure will be included right on the ballot....

This is exciting progress! San Franciscans deserve #FairMaps for fair elections. We'll continue to keep you updated about #AB1248 and #AB764, which are important state bills that would bring truly independent local redistricting to San Francisco and other places in California.

Replying to @ib2_real
ACA 4 passed which will ensure that every citizen in California can vote including those who are incarcerated. The opposition said voting is a privilege- We respectfully disagreed.
