POWER's work is guided by our theory of social change which sees that those people who are most affected by the problems of society- low-income and working class people, people of color, women, queer and transgender people- must lead a movement of millions to eradicate those problems. By building power from the bottom-up, POWER is able to ensure that public policy and public institutions serve the interests of everyone.

Our work resolves around five components:

• Grassroots Organizing, including the Women Workers' Project,the Bayview Organizing Project and Youth in Power.

• Leadership Development

SFOP works in over 30 congregations and schools representing 40,000 San Franciscans to develop community leaders and grassroots campaigns. SFOP has a broad-based constituency and our leaders influence public officials to make better decisions about important issues that affect us all -- health care, affordable housing, neighborhood safety, workforce development and education.
