Candidates in Community Civic Series

Candidates in Community Civic Series – Meet & Greet with DANIEL LURIE, running for Mayor

We had a wonderful launch of our series event with Ryan Khojasteh (running for San Francisco District Attorney) following our meeting with Jackie Fielder (running for District 9 Supervisor) and our Meet and Greet with Mayor London Breed. Thank you to all of you who came and those who spread the word.

We are excited to announce the next guest for our Candidates in Community event series at Komaaj.

ABOUT THE EVENT: Ballots will be mailed out to voters shortly, and we have launched these Candidate in Community Civic series to engage our community. This event series is designed to connect candidates with BIPOC LGBTQ+ and SWANA (South West Asian & Northern African) communities ahead of the November election. Traditionally, these communities are highly marginalized and have been invisible to both executive and legislative decision makers. This series is designed to empower our communities, to form direct connections with candidates for political office, to ask questions about the issues that impact us, and to create opportunities for the candidates to hear directly from us.

NO ENDORSEMENT: The candidates are not invited for endorsement purposes and this is not a fundraising event. The purpose of this series is to give our communities the opportunity to engage with the candidates directly.

MEET THE CANDIDATE: On Sunday October 20, 2024 we will be sitting in conversation with Daniel Lurie who is running for Mayor.

RSVP: tickets to the event are FREE to members of the public. Please note that due to space constraints, attendees must have tickets to be admitted to the event.

CODE OF CONDUCT: While we can disagree with ideas and stances, we will not tolerate disrespect and personal attacks during these events. Any attendee who violates this code of conduct will be asked to leave the venue and event.

ABOUT THE CANDIDATE: Daniel Lurie was born and raised in San Francisco. Daniel founded Tipping Point Community in 2005. Under his direction as CEO, Tipping Point has raised over $500 million to help house, employ, educate and support hundreds of thousands of Bay Area families. Former Mayor Ed Lee selected Daniel in 2013 to lead the San Francisco Bay Area Super Bowl 50 Host Committee, an effort that brought over $240 million in economic impact to the region. Following the devastating fires in the North Bay in 2017, Daniel and Tipping Point partnered with 90 Bay Area business and community leaders to organize Band Together – a benefit concert that raised $17 million for those hardest hit by the deadly fires. In total, Tipping Point’s Emergency Fire Relief Fund raised over $34 million.

He is a graduate of Duke University and obtained his Master’s in Public Policy at UC Berkeley. He lives in the City with his wife Becca and two school-aged children.
