On Tuesday, December 10th at 3:00 p.m. in Room 250 at City Hall, GLIDE’s Center for Social Justice and its coalition partners will urge the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to overturn the RV ban passed by the SFMTA Board of Directors! 

In October, the SFMTA Board of Directors, at the behest of the Mayor, passed an overnight ban on oversized vehicles on city streets selected by the Director of Transportation.  With 90% of unsheltered families living in vehicles and the family shelter waitlist being 530 families-long, it is unconscionable to dispossess families of their homes, force them into temporary shelter, and to keep the hundreds of families waiting for shelter on the street longer.

We need real solutions, like safe parking sites and the expansion of permanent supportive housing— not mass criminalization of the working poor for political gain. At a time where our city and country is shifting to the right and further criminalizing our unhoused communities, we need to show up for our neighbors in RVs!

We’d love for you to bring your friends with you to City Hall to tell the SF Board of Supervisors to VOTE YES on overturning the SFTMA’s ban on RVs across the city. You can use this template as a starting point for reaching out to people you know to bring them to the public, or you can share our flier on social media with any of the hashtags: #NoTowingFamilyHomes #SafeParkingNotSweeps #DoNotTowMyHome #WhereDoWeGo #RVBanAppeal.

For more information, you can check out our full toolkit here. If you can’t make it in person, we urge you to email the SF Board of Supervisors; our toolkit has their email addresses and template emails to make it easy for you.
