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.
"They want you to feel powerless and to surrender and to let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving."
- Rebecca Solnit

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.
