Swing Left East Bay engages in grassroots organizing to elect representatives who support democracy and policies that move our country forward, not backward. We organize activities in the San Francisco East Bay with the goal of electing Democrats across the nation.
We were instrumental in flipping and holding vital seats in California, Arizona and Georgia in past elections. Join us today! To learn more about us, CLICK HERE.
Stay Informed
SLEB remains focused on electing Democrats, which we believe is key to taking back our country, while continuing to share actions from our partners in our email newsletter on steps that can be taken to address the more immediate harms taking place. Our work in 2026 will focus on taking back the House and gaining ground in the Senate.
Swing Left East Bay publishes a weekly newsletter with updates about upcoming events, opportunities to get involved and relevant updates about electoral politics in the news. SIGN UP BELOW!
