Leading Through Innovation & Collaboration.

As a child of immigrants who currently rents and resides in the Tenderloin, Bilal has dedicated his life to helping others with experience in both the public and private sectors. He is a former policy analyst in the Obama Administration, founder of private and philanthropic organizations, and elected member of the San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee.

He has launched innovative initiatives to support restaurant workers with a guaranteed income, build one of the first computer labs in Chinatown, and convert vacant office space into universities and student housing. Bilal understands we must build bridges across San Francisco’s political lines to get results, and has collaborated with activists, civil servants, and elected officials to shine a light on government corruption and champion legislation to address our housing and climate crises.
