Abundant SF

​Ever wonder why San Francisco is the way it is? Find out with Joel Engardio’s SF Politics 101 presentation. Make sense of San Francisco’s million shades of Democratic blue. It’s an entertaining look at how local politics work and the history that shaped San Francisco — brought to life with visuals and narrative storytelling. It’s designed for both newcomers and longtime residents who want to better understand the city they love. Joel promises the hour will be as interesting as your Netflix show.
