SFBike stands with Supervisor Joel Engardio
After the passage of Proposition K in November 2024 that approved transforming the Great Highway into a permanent park, opponents began efforts to recall District 4 Supervisor Joel Engardio as a way to punish him for his support of Prop K.
Your San Francisco Bicycle Coalition does not stand for this and recently our Board voted to support Supervisor Joel Engardio against the recall attempt; we do not believe this is an appropriate use for a recall. We need city leaders to take bold actions to fight against climate change and that is exactly what Supervisor Engardio – and other elected officials who supported Prop K – did.
“When our elected officials stick their neck out for street safety, climate, and car-free projects like this one, we need to stand behind them,” said Roan Kattouw, President of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition Board. “If Supervisor Engardio is recalled simply because he supported a car-free space, then no Supervisor in the future will want to do the same.”
The recall campaign has until May 22 to get 10,000 valid signatures of District 4 voters who support putting the recall on the ballot. Until then, the Stand with Joel campaign is organizing volunteer mobilizations to get the word out.
We want to turn out SFBike members to support the campaign. Use the link below to sign up for a volunteer shift.
