We Are San Francisco

Five years ago San Francisco was the envy of the world. It was the undisputed capitol of cutting-edge technology. It had a tapestry of communities and culture — ranging from Chinese and Mexican to Muslim and LGBTQ+ — living in harmony and inclusiveness. From all corners of the globe, everyone wanted to come see San Francisco or else emulate it back home. So what happened to arguably the greatest city in the world? and how do WE come together to fix it?
