David Chiu

An incredible honor to be sworn in as @SFCityAttorney today. I’m excited and inspired to lead such a reputable office with an impressive group of legal minds. Together, we will use the power of the law to stand up for San Franciscans and confront our city’s greatest challenges.

This month and every month, we must commit ourselves to promoting equity, ending systemic racism, and celebrating Black lives.

Happy Lunar New Year! I wish you and your loved ones strength, wisdom, and peace in this Year of the Snake. 祝大家新年快樂, 身體健康, 萬事如意, 平安大吉, 蛇年快樂

You can read more here about the story of Wong Kim Ark, born in SF, who fought for his citizenship rights & took his case all the way to SCOTUS. In 1898, SCOTUS reaffirmed that the 14th Amendment guarantees that anyone born in the US is a citizen. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/won…

Birthright citizenship is explicitly guaranteed by the Constitution—no matter what Donald Trump says.

Today, we joined California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut & many other states in filing a lawsuit to protect birthright citizenship—a right that has a deep connection to SF’s immigrant communities. youtube.com/watch?v=Ddw0AT…

As we honor Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today, I am reminded of his words: “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge.”

My office secured a judgment against GigSmart, a temporary staffing company, that requires the company to pay restitution to its workers and convert them to employees, ensuring they receive the full range of employee benefits and protections. missionlocal.org/2025/01/s-f-se…

I 'm proud of my students doing local work with a huge national impact, and I'm grateful to the San Francisco City Attorney's Office for helping train a generation to serve in state and local government. Huge thanks to @DavidChiu and @SFCityAttorney. law.yale.edu/yls-today/news…

Happy New Year! Wishing you and your loved ones a fantastic 2025!

Trump has said he is going to go after jurisdictions and people who don’t do what he wants. If Trump brings the fight to our doorstep, we will defend our city and our communities. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/how…

Happy Kwanzaa! May the seven nights of Kwanzaa bring you peace and prosperity!

Thank you City Attorney @DavidChiu for using the full powers of your office to prioritize labor law enforcement, hold bad actors accountable, and protect working people!

This agreement with WorkWhile is part of our ongoing, groundbreaking work to fight misclassification. We will not tolerate companies denying workers their rights and benefits, and now thousands of CA workers will have their stolen wages returned to them. missionlocal.org/2024/12/s-f-wi…

Thank you Sen @ScottWeiner & @CASenateDems for this proposal to fund our legal work protecting Californians from harmful Trump Administration policies. CA cities & counties are ready to continue the legal fight to defend CA values & uphold the rule of law. sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…

Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving

Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we mourn and remember those who lost their lives to anti-transgender violence.

San Francisco has invested millions in making San Francisco International Airport® the world class airport it is today. We have built an incredible brand, and we are happy the Court agreed that brand should be legally protected from trademark infringement. cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/n…

To all our veterans who bravely served our country – thank you for your service and sacrifice.

31 years ago, he was my law school moot court teammate. Tonight, @JoshStein_ is the next Governor of North Carolina. Thrilled for him and his state: “We choose hope over hate, competence over chaos, decency over division.” nytimes.com/2024/11/05/us/…
