February 18, 2023 GREENZINE SF Green Party Weekly News and Events www.sfgreenparty.org twitter.com/sfgreenparty instagram.com/sfgreenparty mastodon.sfgreens.org/@sfgreenparty www.facebook.com/groups/SFGreenParty/ Dear Greens, Join us this Sun, Feb 19, for an anti-war rally at noon at Embarcadero Plaza. Full details below. The agenda for our members' meeting this coming Wednesday is also posted below. *===========================* What: Rage Against the War Machine march and rally Where: Embarcadero Plaza, SF When: Sunday, Feb 19, noon Laura Wells writes: Big peace rallies are starting up again! Hoping lots of people will find a way to BE THERE in San Francisco at noon on February 19, and to encourage others. For rallies around the nation, see: https://rageagainstwar.com/rallies/ People often ask: Do rallies and marches do any good? I believe that people standing together for what we want is always worthwhile, and besides, it’s a good way to see people we know, almost like having a party and not having to prepare in advance or clean up after. Also, it’s open air which is great these days. For people coming from the East Bay: meet at the MacArthur BART station at 11:15 am to go thru the gate promptly at 11:30. We will sit in the last car so that if you get on at a different station you may still be able to hook up with us because you'll know where to find us. RSVP to laurawells510(a)gmail.com if you might be there! *===========================* What: Green Party monthly members' meeting Where: Redstone Bldg (2940 16th Street, near South Van Ness) #301, SF When: Wed, Feb 22, 7-9 pm Agenda: * Introductions * Report-back on state legislation. Single Payer Healthcare is being reintroduced again, and other legislation may be of interest - Barry * Update to our "platform summary" card - new English version, and a Spanish translation. Draft cards will be available for corrections and suggestions - John-Marc * Sunday streets schedule - tabling planning for Summer (HASF, Earth Day, etc) * Mayoral campaign (and others) cooperation with Peace and Freedom Party. Report back from Barry / Rich. * KPFA report-back from Rich. * We'll also get more feedback from members on our plan to contact inactive Greens through precinct walking. 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.

Greenzine - rally for water defenders, members' meeting next week
by Announcement list for SF Green Party, updated weekly 15 Feb '23

February 15, 2023 GREENZINE SF Green Party Weekly News and Events www.sfgreenparty.org twitter.com/sfgreenparty instagram.com/sfgreenparty mastodon.sfgreens.org/@sfgreenparty www.facebook.com/groups/SFGreenParty/ Dear Greens, At last month's meeting, we brainstormed on ideas for organizing our members. Although there are no elections this year, we'll be walking precincts to contact Greens to try to get people more involved! If you can help, contact us at "cc(a)sfgreens.org". We hope to see you in the next week at a rally tomorrow in support of Salvadoran water defenders, and at our membership meeting next Wednesday. *===========================* What: Rally for water defenders Where: Salvadoran Consulate, 507 Polk Street, SF When: Thurs, 11 am The Bukele government arrested five environmental activists in Santa Marta and are holding them in pre-trial detention. The charges are "illicit association," basically gang membership under the code of the 'State of Exception," a declared state of emergency that allows Bukele dictatorial powers, and supposed crimes during the civil war in the 1980s. The suspected reason is their activism in the fight to stop Pacific Rim mining company from mining for gold using cyanide in the watershed of the Rio Lempa River, the main water source for San Salvador, and the subsequent successful campaign to get a law passed against any metallic mining in the country. https://cispes.org/article/cispes-and-us-el-salvador-sister-cities-statemen… Bay Area CISPES and NorCal fmln are holding a rally on Thursday, Feb. 16, at 11 a.m., in front of the Salvadoran Consulate, 507 Polk Street. (flyers attached). *===========================* What: Green Party monthly members' meeting Where: Redstone Bldg (2940 16th Street, near South Van Ness) #301, SF When: Wed, Feb 22, 7-9 pm The agenda will be determined at our CC meeting this week, and will focus around outreach to Green Party members in SF. Another message will be sent next week with details. 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. All meetings are wheelchair accessible.
