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.

The Road to the House Runs Through Fresno
Canvass: Swing Left East Bay is going all in on Congressional District 22 for 2026. Of the five districts reshaped by Prop 50, this one will be the toughest to flip, and that’s exactly why it matters. SLEB will lead monthly weekend trips to Fresno during the weekends of Mar 21/22, Apr 25/26 and May 30/31. The plan: carpool down Saturday morning, canvass in the afternoon, enjoy a group dinner, canvass again Sunday, and head home Sunday afternoon. We’ll help coordinate rides and lodging. Until a candidate is selected in the June primary, we’ll focus on deep conversations with voters to learn about what matters to them most. No experience is required. We’ll provide training and everything you need.

Donate: If canvassing isn't an option for you, please consider donating to this race. The winning candidate will emerge from the primary with little to nothing in the bank compared to $1.8 million cash on hand already raised by the Republican incumbent. All donations will be held in an account that will be disbursed to the Democratic candidate following the primary.

Phone Banking
