sf.citi SUPPORTS TECH POLICY SOLUTIONS TO IMPROVE SAN FRANCISCO
We are sf.citi, the tech trade association of San Francisco. We empower the San Francisco technology community to have a voice in local tech policy decisions and collaborate with leaders in government on solving local issues. Founded in 2012, we are committed to building cross-sector conversation between the City’s tech, nonprofit, and political communities. We drive innovative policy solutions and develop social impact partnerships to address longstanding issues facing San Francisco.
COVID-19 UPDATES
sf.citi compiled a list of resources from San Francisco tech companies — and sf.citi members — to help people, organizations, and businesses navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. Learn more about these tech resources and the latest COVID-19 updates in San Francisco, the Bay Area, and California.
RESOURCES
Learn all about San Francisco politics by reading SF Politics 101, the ultimate guide to San Francisco government. You will find information about San Francisco’s legislative process, the nuances of San Francisco elections, and even a San Francisco City organizational chart.
POLICY AGENDA
At the beginning of the year, sf.citi sets a policy agenda outlining the tech policy areas that matter most to sf.citi and our members. Read our latest policy goals and commitments around workforce development, the digital divide, housing, homelessness, and more in San Francisco.
“The public policy landscape moves so quickly in San Francisco. It’s really helpful when sf.citi brings in key decision makers right before legislation is completed or finalized because they hear us as one voice. For them to be able to hear us together makes an impact.”
Dillon Auyoung
Director of Government Affairs
Comcast
“I just want to take a moment to thank all of the folks at sf.citi who recognized in 2012 that we need to change the culture of getting engaged, the culture of the innovation economy by saying we are neighbors; we care about everyone who lives in our community.”
Assemblymember David Chiu
17th Assembly District of California
“I’m incredibly excited to join the sf citi board. Along with other key leaders in the tech community, I’m hoping to be able to do even more to push sensible physical and virtual growth policies as well as develop partnerships to address pressing issues such as growth, opportunity, and education.”
Rebecca Prozan

“The capacity that sf.citi builds and the intelligence it provides, allows me to make smart decisions in order to provide that clarity I need to not just serve my business, but also serve the community.”

“sf.citi serves a fundamentally important role in building community across the local tech industry and then bringing that community to bear for good through civic engagement. Working with community and political leaders, sf.citi is helping to safeguard San Francisco as a place of opportunity for all.”
Kate O’Sullivan
General Manager of Industry and External Affairs

“One of the things that I like about sf.citi is that it is basically ingrained in the heartbeat of the tech industry and in the actual pulse of the city.”

#BlackOutTuesdsy
Injustice & violence against Black people in America has caused unspeakable pain & underscored the hard realities of systemic racism.
Join us on #LeadingThroughChange as we come together to take action against racial injustice.

Being non-racist is not enough. It is vital to be anti-racist, and we know that this requires speaking up and taking action.
One of the most effective ways to exercise your voice is by voting in elections. On June 9th, learn from California's Chief Elections Officer & Secretary of State @AlexPadilla4CA about how #COVID19 will make the 2020 Presidential election unlike any other.

We stand with #BlackLivesMatter. We are donating a total of $500,000 to the @NAACP and the @Blklivesmatter Foundation in support of their fight for equality and justice, and we'll be matching employee donations to both groups. Because a world where we all belong takes all of us.
We're glad to see companies like @Verizon stepping up in this moment to uplift the fight for #justice & support our work in Black & brown communities.
