DESCRIPTION:San Francisco is facing deepening crises, with rising rents, increasing 
 income inequality, large-scale displacement, and criminalization of 
 homelessness. Our political leadership has been mostly silent on the 
 erosion of civil liberties, ICE kidnappings, and, in many cases, has 
 mirrored the cruel policies of the Trump administration. Meanwhile, in New 
 York City, Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani defeated Andrew Cuomo in an 
 historic win, running on a bold socialist platform that centered tenants’ 
 rights and policies that benefited the everyday New Yorker, while standing 
 firm on Palestinian human rights in the face of a hostile media landscape. 
 His victory is a challenge to corporate Democrats everywhere by showing 
 that unapologetically left policies can break through. What lessons can San 
 Francisco take from this victory? How can San Francisco better live up to 
 our progressive, humanist values?\n\nDean Preston is a statewide housing 
 advocate, tenants rights attorney, and member of the\nDemocratic Socialists 
 of America. He served as the elected representative of District 5 on the 
 San Francisco Board of Supervisors from 2019-2025.\n
