How can I receive Instructions/Training?

You can come to any of our events for an easy, 20-minute training. You can find a list of events here as well as on our social media accounts — @sftransitact. The training will go over the legal rules for circulating a petition, facts about our ballot measure, and tips.

How can I pick up petitions/Signature Packets?

You can drop off your old signature packet and pick up new ones at any of our events. If you’ve already been trained with our campaign then you do not need to stay for the whole event or get trained again. You can find a list of events here as well as on our social media accounts — @sftransitact. We also have a volunteer Slack workspace where you can get in quick contact with our volunteer shift leads. They can make sure you get a new packet if you’ve already been trained with our campaign and none of the event times work for you. Email info@sftransitact.com to be invited.

How long do we have to circulate petitions?

Signatures can only be collected within the same calendar month the signature packet is for. If you receive a packet on May 31st then you must stop using it at the end of the day (for example). In general, we’d love to receive a packet back or hear from you within a week or two. We don’t want to be scrambling to get packets back when it’s time to submit them all to the Department of Elections! It’s okay if you haven’t completed the entire packet — feel free to come to any event to drop off your old packet and grab a new one.

Do we have campaign signs we can use to attract attention?

We do not currently. However, signs certainly do attract attention and we encourage you to make your own! Our only ask is that you do not make false claims about the measure on your signs.

Can we collect signatures online?

No. Signers must be registered San Francisco voters and their signature must be witnessed by a petition circulator in-person.

How can I find someone to gather signatures with me or talk to other volunteers?

We have a volunteer Slack workspace with over a hundred volunteers! Email info@sftransitact.com to join :)
