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!

Meet Randy Villegas in Person
Join us at a special house party fundraiser in support of Randy Villegas, Democratic nominee for California's 22nd Congressional District in the Central Valley.
Randy is a Central Valley educator, school board trustee, and the son of Mexican immigrants, who grew up watching his family rely on Medicaid and food stamps to get by. Notably, Randy has pledged not to take a dime of corporate PAC money. Randy is running in one of the most closely watched races in the country — and he needs our help to win this race. Please join us for an afternoon of conversation, appetizers, and a chance to hear directly from Randy about his campaign and vision for the Central Valley.
