Who We Are

SDHCC stands apart as a coalition.  As a unique and diverse partnership, the coalition is committed to non-partisan and inclusive collaboration that bridges the divide and builds consensus toward real change.  Our premise is that we are better off working together to find common ground than allowing our differences to divide and defeat us.
