After 17 years of partnership, the San Francisco Department of Public Health has proposed the complete defunding of Sunday Streets beginning in 2026. This decision is catastrophic and threatens to end a beloved San Francisco tradition. We cannot afford to let this happen. Sunday Streets is more than just an event; it's a cornerstone of our community and a source of joy and connection for thousands of residents.

Sunday Streets provides an invaluable space for gathering, exercising, and celebrating the vibrancy of San Francisco. It transforms ordinary streets into lively promenades where families, friends, and neighbors can come together safely and car-free. The negative impact of losing such a culturally and socially essential program extends beyond mere loss of entertainment; it erodes the social fabric and the unique spirit of our city.

In prior years, Sunday Streets has received strong support from local businesses and residents, showcasing its widespread appreciation and significance. Over 100,000 people participate annually, resulting in tangible economic benefits for small businesses along the routes.

Please sign this petition to urge the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and Mayor to save Sunday Streets by developing a stable, multi-year funding plan. Protecting this invaluable tradition is imperative for the cultural richness and communal well-being of San Francisco.
