Twilio ceo jeff lawson sfknight stepped out as a Democratic fundraiser
The San Francisco startup Twilio has committed to donating $1 million to San Francisco homelessness programs. The donation comes after the city’s voters approved a bill that will provide $300 million for various programs to address homelessness. However, the measure is likely to face legal challenges.
While there are many tech billionaires who are tired of the Trump administration, and who are eager to return to normal fundraising and personal life, many tech tycoons are turning to politics as big donors. Many are complaining about low turnouts and their inability to keep up with the Trump administration’s tweets. The Lawsons, however, are offering a feel-good story.
Pledged $8 million to Help Kitchen
Ceo Jeff Lawson Sfknight San Franciscochronicle, CEO of the San Francisco Chronicle, has made a generous commitment to help the local food bank. He and his wife, Erica, had seen how COVID-19 would put a tremendous strain on the region’s food security system. So they decided to donate $8 million to Help Kitchen to help the hungry get the nutrition they need to survive. The couple also partnered with author and Long-Term Stock Exchange founder Eric Ries, who is also involved with other COVID-19 relief efforts.
Lawson is a well-known Democrat, and a top Democratic fundraiser. In fact, his home was turned upside down when President Obama visited. His home was in a glass, modernist home overlooking Dolores Park. The evening fundraiser that night was sold out with tickets costing $250,000 each.
Twilio, a software company, has also pledged $1 million to the city’s homeless programs. The move comes as a response to Proposition C, a ballot initiative that would provide $300 million in funding for various homelessness programs in the city. However, the initiative will likely face legal challenges in the months to come.
