Principles
The People’s Mission Coalition (PMC) is a community activist group based in San Francisco, California that advocates defunding the city’s police department due to its alleged targeting of the homeless population and racial minorities. 1
The organization is based in the Mission District neighborhood of San Francisco and has opposed policing within the BART Plaza in the neighborhood, which it argues limits “a gathering space where all walks of people come together to… create the radical community care and resistance the Mission District is known for.” 1
PMC claims the city of San Francisco is committing a “violent war on the poor,” and that the “political, business and nonprofit elite” in San Francisco perpetuate anti-poor sentiment, while furthering “anti-Black and racist violence against the most vulnerable in our community.” 1 5
PMC has also advocated for ending the regulation of street vending, supporting prostitution as a legitimate form of work, providing community showers and lockers for homeless populations, ending the suppression of “youth and street cultures,” reducing rent while providing increased low-income housing, and increasing the number of safe consumption sites for drug users. 2
