The Raoul Wallenberg Jewish Democratic Club has more than 500 active members as well as a regional board. All of our operations are run completely by volunteers.

In more than 20 years of activities in San Francisco, the Wallenberg club has become a top advocate on important issues to the Jewish community.

The Club's endorsement is one of the most coveted in San Francisco and the vast majority of local candidates for elective office sit down for interviews with our Political Action Committee.

The Wallenberg Club has hosted local and state-wide elected officials at numerous events and the Wallenberg Club has been a platform for future leaders in our political community. Wallenberg members who have gone on to careers in politics themselves include: Assemblyman Mark Leno, former Supervisor and San Francisco Democratic Party Chair Leslie Katz, as well as Community College Board Members Natalie Berg and Milton Marks III.

Members of the Wallenberg Club include people with a wide range of experience and involvement in the local Jewish community as well as the local Democratic political community.

In addition to providing endorsements we also seek to educate elected officials on issues that are important to the Jewish Community. We also work to inform our membership on topics of interest in the City such as homelessness, the city budget crisis and public power.

The Club has also been a force on issues pertaining to Israel, in particular, fighting anti-Israel resolutions in the cities of San Francisco and Berkeley. In recent years, the club joined in the Jewish Community Relations Council's campaign against to convince San Francisco's Rainbow Grocery to drop its boycott of Israeli goods. We also fought to force a local community service organization to drop a requirement that its members sign an anti-Israel pledge.
