Françoise David is the spokesperson of Option citoyenne - a socially progressive political movement that wants to create a new joint leftist Quebec provincial political party to be formed at the end of 2005. She is the author of the book/manifesto Bien commun recherché - une option citoyenne (over 7,000 copies sold in Quebec) that combines the idea of a "common good", social justice, ecology and economic democracy.
In 1987, Françoise David became coordinator for the Regroupement des centres de femmes du Québec. Seven years later, she was named President of the Fédération des femmes du Québec (FFQ). In this capacity, she ensured that women's issues, such as poverty and violence against women, remained in the forefront in both Quebec and Canada.
Two of her greatest and best-known successes were undoubtedly the 1995 Women's March against Poverty and the 2000 World March of Women against Poverty and Violence.
In addition to her work experience, Françoise David is a member of numerous community organizations. In January 2000, she participated in the non-governmental observation mission to Iraq, and in December 2001 she traveled to Mali with the Service universitaire canadien outre-mer (SUCO).
