June 28 GREENZINE SF Green Party Weekly News and Events www.sfgreenparty.org twitter.com/sfgreenparty www.facebook.com/groups/SFGreenParty/ Dear Greens, Thanks to all the new volunteers who turned out to help us on Pride weekend! Together, we identified over 500 people who plan to help us win Improved Medicare for All, here in CA as well as nationwide. This is especially important since Democrats in the State legislature quietly killed SB562, the bill that would have given us Single Payer in CA, last Friday. This is almost inevitably going to come down to a fight at the ballot. Please join us tonight at our monthly meeting, and at several other events over the next week: *===========================* What: Green Party Monthly Meeting Where: Redstone Bldg (2940 16th Street, near South Van Ness) #301, SF When: Wed, June 28, 7-9 pm Agenda: We'll have several guest speakers this month, including two likely local candidates! * Bill McLaughlin from the SF chapter of Surfrider will talk about coastal issues, including managed retreat at Sloat Boulevard. * Jim Gatteau will talk about exploring a run for District 10 Supervisor next year. * Barry Hermanson will discuss running for Congress next year. Every 4th Wednesday the SF Green Party meets to discuss issues of concern, listen to interesting speakers, endorse events, plan outreach and more! Everyone welcome. To make a presentation or gain the SFGP endorsement of events and issues, please contact our SFGP County Council at: cc(a)sfgreens.org *===========================* What: Important Community Meeting on Raising Wages Where: 1800 Oakdale, in the Alex Pitcher Room When: Thurs, June 29, 6-7:30 pm The Living Wage Coalition invites you to a Town Hall meeting: San Francisco's elected supervisors will be voting in the near future on a measure that will require employers to pay at least $15.86 per hour this year, and $16.86 per hour next year to IHSS homecare workers, non-profit workers, people who work at the airport, and CalWORKS program participants. If passed, this measure would raise wages for 25,000 workers in San Francisco. We need your help to express the views of the community and to convince Supervisors Malia Cohen and Asha Safai to vote in favor of this proposed measure. We need their two votes to get it passed. We will have a Town Hall meeting to which they are invited next Thursday, June 29, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. It will be held at 1800 Oakdale, in the Alex Pitcher Room. If you cannot attend, you can still help by calling Malia Cohen at (415) 554-4566 (District 10) and Asha Safai at (415) 554-6975 (District 11) to tell them to vote in favor of increasing the wage rate in the Minimum Compensation Ordinance. *===========================* What: Voter outreach at Mime Troupe SF Opening Show Where: 19th Street and Dolores St When: Tues, July 4 from 1-4 pm Help us register new Greens, find people willing to help win Medicare for All, and gather signatures to overturn SF's new "luxury condos everywhere" rezoning law. We'll be at the Mime Troupe's opening show in Dolores Park, July 4; email if you can help out cc(a)sfgreens.org. *===========================* To submit events for our newsletter, please email a short blurb to news(a)sfgreens.org.

We identified hundreds of voters who pledged to support universal "Medicare for All" health care in California, when the fight inevitably reaches the ballot box. There are several events happening this weekend, from a "Ban the Bomb" rally in SF to our state Green Party convention in Sacramento. We could also use your help volunteering to do more voter outreach at Pride! Please read on for more details on upcoming events. *===========================* What: Ban the Bomb Rally Where: UN Plaza, Hyde - Leavenworth - Market St. (next to the UN fountain) When: Sat, June 17, noon - 2 pm 123 nations (not including the U.S.) have come together to demand a treaty that BANS NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOREVER. This historic treaty was proposed in 2016 at the United Nations in New York City. It's being drafted NOW. The collaborating nations will return to NY June 15 to work out the negotiations that will lead to agreement. The Women's International League for Peace & Freedom (WILPF) is leading a big march in NYC on June 17 to support the negotiations, and cities around the world are also holding events--like ours in S.F. Join the nations of the world who are saying ENOUGH IS ENOUGH--the planet cannot sustain even the THREAT of nuclear attack.
