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.

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 2025 will focus on the November 2025 Virginia election and laying the groundwork for taking back the House and gaining ground in the Senate in 2026.

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!

Election Victories 2025!

The November 2025 elections marked a sweeping repudiation of Donald Trump and the far-right, authoritarian agenda he continues to champion. Across the country, voters backed leaders who will defend democracy, protect fundamental rights, and move communities forward.

California: Proposition 50 soared to a decisive victory, winning by more than 25 points and sending a clear message that voters reject the Republican Party’s anti-democratic and manipulative tactics. Swing Left East Bay volunteers knocked on nearly 16,000 doors and held more than 5,000 conversations with voters — with many more joining phone banks and other outreach efforts.

Virginia: Democrats flipped an astonishing 13 seats in the House of Delegates, including Kimberly Pope Abrams, who was supported by SLEB. Because the Senate was not up for reelection and already held a Democratic majority along with the election of a Democratic Governor, Democrats secured a governing trifecta in the state.
