July 13, 2024 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 our members' meeting in June, we made our first round of endorsements (Mayor and Supervisor) for the November 2024 election. Ballot measures and other contests will be considered after the filing deadlines for those races, which is August 9. All our endorsements to date are posted on our website: https://sfgreenparty.org/endorsements/108-november-2024-endorsements In summary: Mayor: Aaron Peskin (#1 ranked choice), Dylan Hirsch-Shell (#2 ranked choice) D1 Supervisor: Connie Chan D3 Supervisor: Sharon Lai D5 Supervisor: Dean Preston D7 Supervisor: no endorsement D9 Supervisor: no endorsement D11 Supervisor: Ernest "EJ" Jones (#1 ranked choice), Adlah Chisti (#2 ranked choice) All of the above candidates are welcome to contact us with their upcoming events - see below for some of these. *===========================* What: Jill Stein Virtual Rally Where: Online When: Sun, July 14, 5 pm The empire is pulling out all the stops to try to crush our rebellion. After hiring armies of lawyers to kick Jill off the ballot and advertising jobs for infiltrators and spies to sabotage her campaign, now Biden's Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is withholding nearly $300,000 in public matching funds that Jill has earned <https://www.jillstein2024.com/matching>. It's time to fight back. Let's show the anti-Democratic Party they can't shut down our anti-genocide, pro-worker, climate action campaign - and the more they tighten their grip, the more voters will slip through their fingers. We'll be joined by special guests Kshama Sawant, trailblazing socialist and former Seattle City Council member, Palestinian-American activist Jenan Matari, and Susan Abulhawa, renowned Palestinian writer and human rights activist who has been an outspoken voice against the US-backed genocide in Gaza. Please join us Sunday to help Jill rally the resistance to the empire, and spread the word! RSVP on our website to receive a Zoom link to join the rally: <https://www.jillstein2024.com/rally> *===========================* What: Green Sunday - Warheads to Windmills: Preventing Climate Catastrophe and Nuclear War Where: Online When: Sun, July 14, 5 pm - 6:30 pm It's not too late, if we act fast enough now! Even as emissions increase and treaties collapse, we can still stop these twin existential crises from becoming catastrophic. We already have all the solutions we need to stop burning fossil fuels and to abolish nuclear weapons once and for all. How can environmentalists and peace activists work together to overcome propaganda, problematic "solutions," and political agendas that threaten our very survival? Author Timmon Wallis will share new insights and fresh strategies. The corporate profiteers who corrupt our legislators are surprisingly vulnerable to legal threats from the Nuclear Ban Treaty and from the global movement for a Fossil Fuel Treaty. Timmon Wallis, PhD is the National Coordinator of the Warheads to Windmills Coalition. He has spent his life teaching, writing, directing organizations, and campaigning on peace and environmental issues in colleges, war zones, and with governments around the world. With his colleagues at the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, he shares the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize. Vicki Elson, MA is the Creative Director of Nuclear Ban US, which facilitates the Warheads to Windmills Coalition. After a long career in childbirth education and labor support, she has shifted her focus to supporting human well-being with total nuclear abolition and converting the resources wasted on WMD's to science-based climate solutions.
