Event Details

Abundant San Francisco

​Ever wonder why San Francisco is the way it is? Find out with Joel Engardio’s SF Politics 101 presentation. 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.

​Learn what makes our city tick and unpack its million shades of Democratic blue. SF Politics 101 is 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.
