Circulate San Diego’s Advocacy Model

At Circulate San Diego, we have had some incredible successes, far larger than one should expect from a small nine-person organization. Our campaigns are often to advance and abundance agenda. Our efforts have led to thousands of affordable homes being developed on transit agency land. We drafted and sponsored Assembly Bill 2345 and Assembly Bill 1287, the most impactful housing production bills signed by the Governor Newsom in 2020 and 2023.
A large part of the credit goes to our advocacy model, that allows us to effectively apply pressure to decisionmakers with our relatively few resources.
Our CEO and General Counsel Colin Parent published a post detailing how our model works, and how other advocates can borrow and innovate from it.
