“Fair Rules. Safe Streets. Local Businesses.”

Our Mission and Vision

We unite San Francisco’s small businesses, residents, and civic leaders to strengthen public safety, improve governance clarity, and support thriving local commerce across the Bay Area.

A Bay Area where locally rooted businesses operate safely, plan with confidence, and grow sustainably—supported by transparent policy, reliable infrastructure, and responsive public services.

What We Do

We support San Francisco's small businesses through advocacy and community ties.

Advocacy & Stewardship

We champion laws, policies, and enforcement practices that protect small businesses and their workforce, while calling out confusion, misinformation, or overreach when it appears.

We strengthen relationships between merchants, residents, workers, and local government—turning fragmented voices into coordinated action.

Education & Information

We translate complex government systems into clear, usable guidance—so business owners can focus on running their businesses, not decoding bureaucracy.

Community Connection

Action & Accountability

We provide practical pathways to report concerns, share observations, and escalate safety issues constructively and responsibly.
