LOVE IN ACTION FOR SIXTY YEARS

This is a place of hope, meaning and purpose. Visit GLIDE in San Francisco and become a part of something bigger – a movement that is changing lives.

GLIDE is a nationally recognized center for social justice, dedicated to fighting systemic injustices, creating pathways out of poverty and crisis, and transforming lives. Through our integrated comprehensive services, advocacy initiatives, and inclusive community, we empower individuals, families and children to achieve stability and thrive.

GLIDE is on the forefront of addressing some of society’s most pressing issues, including poverty, housing and homelessness, and racial and social justice.

Love Calls for Justice for Black Americans!

How do we fit all Black history into just one month? We cannot, and we should not. Black history is American history and should be told EVERY day. So no, Black history will not be erased. Instead, we are going to share Black history all year long. Our love agenda demands reparations and justice for all Black people.

Our love agenda begins with spotlighting three amazing Black leaders this February:  

    • Rev. Dr. Amos C. Brown will be preaching at both our Sunday Celebrations this coming Sunday February 16th.  Rev. Dr. Brown is globally famous for his activism, intellect and oratory, and has been pastor at Third Baptist Church of San Francisco since 1976.  After the 11am service, there will be a Q & A to talk about the Safeway closure in Filmore.

    • Two powerful voices in the fight for justice are coming to GLIDE. Congresswoman Lateefah Simon and California State Controller Malia Cohen will be in conversation on February 20 at Glide Memorial Church, joined by Dr. Gina Fromer, President & CEO of GLIDE. This discussion will focus on the road ahead for our communities, from civil rights to economic justice. Don’t miss it. Click to RSVP and learn more. #LoveDemandsJustice

    • Former Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs will be speaking at both our 9am and our 11am Celebrations on Sunday February 23rd. Michael Tubbs was raised by a teen mother and a father in prison. He championed universal basic income while Mayor of Stockton and now he is running for Lieutenant Governor, with a goal to “upset the setup.”  Learn more
