San Francisco Committee of Safety

The San Francisco Committee of Safety was a local group formed in 1776 during the American Revolutionary era. It functioned as a civic and revolutionary authority, organizing defenses, managing supplies, and coordinating efforts against British rule. Essentially, it acted as a community leadership body, ensuring local resistance and maintaining order while supporting the broader movement for independence. The committee played a vital role in mobilizing citizens and resources during a crucial period of political and military upheaval.
