Without action, San Francisco food lines are going to get longer

If San Francisco wants to be a safe place for the marginalized populations who call this city their home and others who seek refuge here in increasingly uncertain times, food security must be a top priority.

Rabbi’s Story of Rwandan Orphans Finding Love and Acceptance

As we celebrate Black History Month at GLIDE,  a journey I took last year to Rwanda with other faith leaders keeps coming to mind. The purpose of the trip was to learn how to heal from mass trauma  by studying Rwanda’s history. We were students of the art and science of peace, resilience and transformational justice.

Our Love Letter to San Francisco

 Dear San Francisco,

I love you! So much so that I have committed my life to making you a better place to live, play, and shine. I raised my kids here. I was married here. I go to church here. I adore this community, and nothing is more important to me than making the lives of families better. I give my heart and soul to this city every day, through the work I do at GLIDE. 

San Francisco’s Overdose Racial Disparity: And What Black Leaders Are Doing About It

Black community leaders, nonprofit and service workers, and workers for San Francisco’s Department of Public Health all came together last week for “Unity in Community: Overdose Prevention Summit 2025.” This was a one-day conference at the San Francisco Public Library centering on the efforts of Black leaders to halt the overdose crisis that disproportionately affects their community.
