Political Action & Endorsements

Vote on November 3! 

Three seats on the San Francisco Board Of Education are up for grabs in the November 3 General Election. United Educators of San Francisco supports a slate of three candidates: Reina Tello, Virginia Cheung, and Ryan Hazelton. If all three are elected, they will form a majority on the BOE with former UESF-member, Commissioner Matt Alexander, but this outcome depends on your involvement. UESF members can make the difference in this election. Sign up to volunteer for Reina Tello, Virginia Cheung, and Ryan Hazelton.

UESF has a robust political and community engagement program. Through our political work, we seek to help build resources and support for our public schools and to bring commitment from across the city of San Francisco and the state of California to address the fundamental needs of our students. We also take part in coalition work to address issues of concern for educators and the families and communities we serve in San Francisco, including working to ensure that San Francisco remains an affordable place for all of its residents.
