Paid Argument IN FAVOR of Proposition C
Unlike the Democrats and Republicans, the Libertarian Party strongly supports the right of people to move freely from one country to another, and to be treated equally by law regardless of where they are from, whether or not a government considers them its "citizens".
Citizenship is just another unnecessary Big Government program that enables those in power to divide and control people and extort money from them.
Non-citizens in San Francisco are required to pay taxes like other residents. Restricting them from full political participation amounts to taxation without representation, one of the practices against which the American Revolution was fought.
Given that the only legitimacy the government has is derived from the consent of the governed and from upholding human and civil rights on a non-discriminatory basis, its laws must not be allowed to discriminate on the basis of innate characteristics like race, gender, sexual orientation, or national origin.
San Francisco thrives on the skills and perspectives of a diverse population. Let's unleash everyone's full potential!
Libertarians are proud to stand with immigrant communities in supporting Proposition C.

LATINOS: 15% de San Francisco. 8% de Comisionados - VOTA Sí en C
During these times of COVD-19, the Latinx community is suffering the highest infection rate in San Francisco. While federal assistance and unemployment are denied to tens of thousands of immigrant Latinos, we hold one of the lowest service rates on Board and Commissions that help guide how critical services are delivered.
It is time to expand eligibility for ALL San Franciscans to serve on boards and commissions. Senate Bill 225, signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom last year, set a precedent for this Proposition. Prop C would revise San Francisco's charter to be compatible with current state law.
Please join us in voting YES on Proposition C to give all San Franciscans a seat at the table!

YES on Prop C: Inclusion for LGBTQ+ Immigrants
17% of San Franciscans of voting age identify as LGBTQ+ while 35% are foreign-born. Prop C will expand the pool of San Franciscans eligible to serve on city commissions, including LGBTQ+ immigrants who have contributed so much to San Francisco's queer culture and history. Prop C will give LGBTQ+ immigrants a platform for civic engagement and community advocacy during a global pandemic and economic crisis that have disproportionately sidelined immigrant and queer communities.
YES on Prop C: Expands Inclusion of Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation
Prop C updates the language of San Francisco's Charter to include more diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. Yes on Prop C is supported by LGBTQ+ nonprofits such as Asylum Connect and Parivar to ensure that every member of the LGBTQ+ community in San Francisco regardless of immigration status has access to equitable political representation. It is time for LGBTQ+ aspiring citizens to be able to serve on commissions, advocate for equitable policies and services for all San Franciscans, and ensure that commissions reflect the diversity and interests of the LGBTQ+ community.

Paid Argument IN FAVOR of Proposition C
LABOR and WORKING FAMILIES SAY - Vote Yes on C
As much as 35% of our City was born in another country. People of color comprise 62% of San Francisco's population. Among working families, these percentages are even higher. Commissioners decide how City departments deploy resources and services while keeping management accountable.
Commissioners of color peaked from 57% in 2015 to 49% in 2019, meaning equity and representation are sliding backwards at a critical time in our history for social justice. Prop C would make as much of 1/3 of our population eligible to serve on all boards and commissions.
Representation matters. Commissions review budgets, set policy and hire top management that make staffing decisions. Just as these bodies need to be representative of our workforce, they just also need to be representative of our City.
