As we’ve been noting for some time now, a political renaissance is taking place in California as more political philanthropists engage in effective political activism. An example is TogetherSF Action, which scored a big victory earlier this week when, over the Mayor’s objection, it earned the San Francisco Democratic Party endorsement for Prop D, which would streamline the city’s commission system to make elected officials more accountable. TSFA has more than 150,000 members, making it the largest and most diverse grassroots movement in the city. One of our chapters is a financial supporter and if you’d like to support TSFA on Prop D you can do so here. Now would be a good time to do so because donations are currently being matched dollar for dollar.
Nothing pleases us more than helping the ecosystem of effective political philanthropies that California desperately needs to improve governance. We hope to profile many more such organizations.
