San Francisco business, labor and community leaders have joined to form the Alliance for Jobs and Sustainable Growth, which is funded by its members who will guide it as it sets priorities and moves forward.

We believe it is critical that San Francisco's future be planned with a forward-looking perspective that produces good jobs, sustainable economic growth and environmental health for San Franciscans. Further, we are convinced that the quality of life of San Francisco residents is dependent on a vibrant and successful private sector capable of providing the tax base for education, public safety and other services made available by the City and non-profit organizations.

The Alliance intends to bring real financial and intellectual capital to bear on finding sustainable solutions and advocating for their implementation. The decisions we make with respect to issues and candidates will be consistent with the values of San Francisco residents and sensitive to the legitimate needs of our City's various communities.
