Event Details

How are progressives different from moderates in San Francisco? Why is our city council called the Board of Supervisors and what powers do they have? What can I do to resist Trump’s agenda?

The United Democratic Club is proud to present Politics 101. During this free event, they will answer all of the above questions and so much more. The presenters are intimately involved at the local, state, and federal levels of government and are ready to discuss government issues from first-hand experience.
