Wang’s club aims to push for several advocacies, including public school improvements, better public transportation, increased housing availability and cleaner streets.
During the committee meeting, the club's supporters were questioned about their income levels, racial backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities and voting patterns, particularly with regard to the school board recall. Wang's club was also accused of being racist and secretly funded by Republican groups.
…DCCC reportedly banned the club due to the inclusion of the word “family” in its name and Wang’s support for a recall of a school board that some saw as being overly “woke.”
San Francisco Democrats have been called ‘mean girls’ after they banned a lesbian Asian from setting up a liberal club in the city.
Cyn Wang, who worked for the Obama Administration, attempted to set up a group called the Westside Family Democratic Club, but was stopped because the title contained the word ‘family’ and for backing a recall of a woke school board.
The Chinese immigrant has long been a Democrat, and on paper looks like the perfect candidate to represent a liberal group. Wang voted for Biden in 2020, labeled herself an intersectional feminist, and denounced the Republican Party as ‘the biggest threat to our democracy.’
She also married a Mexican immigrant, who got her green card this month; runs a small family business and sends her daughter to a public school.
Wang was sure her club would be approved by the Democratic County Central Committee (DCCC) without incident, but when she and her other club members logged onto the Zoom meeting, they were sorely mistaken.
“The Republicans have their Moms for Liberty, and now San Francisco will have its Westside Family Democratic Club,” Anabel Ibanez, a top party official, said in a statement presented by a proxy. Ibanez, who couldn’t attend, opposed the club’s charter.
