Since 2002, SFWPC has endorsed in every San Francisco election. SFWPC informs our members as well as tens of thousands of women voters in San Francisco of our endorsements through our slate card program. SFWPC is the only women’s organization in San Francisco that consistently sends out a slate card with our endorsements.
SFWPC also encourages our membership to support the campaigns of endorsed candidates and measures through volunteer hours and/or financial contributions. If you need help contacting an endorsed campaign or candidate, please contact the Endorsements Chair at: endorsements@sfwpc.org
