If you want to take out corporate Democrats, look no further than your backyard, San Franciscans. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is the embodiment of a political machine that values winning – and the money that helps folks win regardless of values – above all.
That’s why I’m working with Stephen Jaffe, a 46-year career civil rights attorney and first-time candidate who stands for progressive values:
- Restrain U.S. military adventures
- Pass single payer health care
- Women’s health and right to choose
- End the school to prison pipeline
- Protect cities from gentrification
- Police brutality
- Fight global warming
- No more dirty energy subsidies
- Stop dirty corporate money
- Campaign finance reform
- $15 minimum wage
- End homelessness
- Decriminalize mental illness
- Abolish mandatory arbitration
- Ensure integrity of the courts
- Protect religious rights, and the right to no religion
- Protect animal rights
- End superdelegates
- Fund the Arts
- Free and open internet
San Francisco, let’s help this Berniecrat see Adachi/Gonzalez style support in taking on the legacy of the Brown-Burton machine before it gets another generation.
