Watch the recording of Honoring the ADA Anniversary: Reproductive Rights, Deinstitutionalization and Disability Pride, a joint event with SDA and the NDLA Organizers Forum.
Listen to a radio show on KQED Forum about the crisis at Laguna Honda Hospital. Call on the City & County of San Francisco to expand home & community-based services (HCBS) so that people have alternatives to skilled nursing facilities and other institutions. Laguna Honda residents (and all nursing home residents) have the rights to ask for a placement to community, with all needed supports. Click here for more information.
Watch the video of SDA members talking about social media advocacy! Thanks to AARP California for funding this project. Translations are coming soon.
Join the campaign for Free Wifi for seniors and people with disabilities in San Francisco! Sign the petition in support of Free Wifi and share with your friends! To get involved, email Peter or Dasom (firstname@sdaction.org).
If you like being able to join meetings by zoom or phone, rather than having to go in person, or a remote option make it more possible for you to participate, please fill out this form! It’s time to work together to make sure that as people start to meet in person again, disabled people and seniors don’t lose our ability to participate.

What we do
Congratulations!
Working in partnership with other senior and disability organizations, over the past year we have:
- Supported CA Domestic Workers to win Health & Safety Protections with the SB321.
- Pushed the Governor to sign AB1194 into law, so that conservatees have the right to choose their own attorney.
- Secured millions of dollars in city funding for rental subsidies for seniors and people with disabilities.
- Worked with partners to develop Senior Operating Subsidies — and the city of San Francisco just got $40 million from the state for these project-based subsidies!
- Won funding for tech devices and training for seniors and people with disabilities.
- Won rent relief for hundreds of residents of SRO hotels.
- Stopped the MTA fare increase.
- Advocated to stop COVID-19 care rationing and to win vaccine equity for seniors and people with disabilities.
- Made sure Governor Newsom did NOT grant immunity to nursing homes for dangerous practices.
