We’re fighting for public transit that works
We need a public transit system that is fast, reliable, and easy to use. We need a system that connects every neighborhood in the city, so people everywhere can access all that San Francisco has to offer. Close to 250,000 people rely on Muni every day, and many more will need to count on transit if we are to hit our climate and sustainability goals. Join our movement to change the future of public transit in San Francisco.
Current Campaigns
Our Impact
Let’s Keep Winning in 2024!
We only win with your support. We’re funded by a combination of private grants, corporate sponsorships, and most importantly: members! In addition to giving us the political clout we need to make a difference, members provide over 25% of our budget. Those are funds we can use immediately where they’re most needed, like to develop campaigns to bring back Muni routes or to fight for the funding Muni needs.
