When the world feels dark, South City chooses to be a bright light.

Today, Councilmember James Coleman stood alongside fellow City Councilmembers, City staff, our South San Francisco Police Department and community members as we raised the Pride flag at City Hall — a reminder to our LGBTQ+ brothers, sisters, and siblings that you are seen, valued, and loved for exactly who you are.

In South San Francisco, we believe every person deserves to feel safe, welcome, and proud to be themselves. Happy Pride Month, South City.
