Event Family Zoning Rally

San Francisco is on the verge of a historic vote and your voice is needed.

The City is preparing to vote on the Family Zoning Plan: a once-in-a-generation rezoning proposal that could finally make it legal to build more housing in neighborhoods that have long excluded it. This plan is a major step toward a more inclusive, affordable, and sustainable San Francisco.

After years of work, months of community input, and multiple public hearings, the Planning Commission will take its vote on September 11. That means now is the time to show up and speak out.

What the Plan Would Do:

• Create more options for families by legalizing backyard cottages, in-law units, and small apartments so families can stay together and renters can live near work, school, and community.
• Prioritize smart growth by focusing new housing near transit, schools, parks, and local businesses.
• Protect essential funding by keeping San Francisco in compliance with state housing law, which helps preserve funding for transit, affordable housing, and infrastructure.

This plan is supported by affordable housing developers, pro-housing advocates, labor unions, and residents from across the city. But opposition has been organizing hard and showing up in force at every hearing. We need to match their energy and show the broad, growing support for a more livable city.

Join us to rally before the vote and help pack the hearing room with housing supporters.

11:30 AM – Rally on the steps of City Hall
We’ll gather outside City Hall for a short rally and hear from community members, housing advocates, and civic leaders who are fighting for a more livable San Francisco. (Speaker lineup coming soon!)

12:30 PM – Planning Commission Hearing, Room 400
After the rally, we’ll head upstairs together to give public comment in support of the Family Zoning Plan.

This vote is the most important one yet. Let’s show San Francisco’s leaders that we’re ready for real change and ready to say yes to more homes.

Stay tuned for more details on the speaker line-up and how you can show your support the day of and all the days leading up to it!
