January 10, 2025 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, Happy New Year! Join Greens from around the state on Zoom this weekend for "Rising Up Green, as Empire Falls Down," a discussion with former Presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein. And at our first meeting of 2025, on January 22, we'll be planning on what to focus on this year, with a special meeting for new members in March. Please save the date; we'll post an agenda next week. *===========================* What: Green Sunday, Rising Up Green, as Empire Falls Down When: January 12, 5-6:30 pm Where: Zoom, see link below. The 2024 election showed decisively that the Democratic Party has utterly failed the people it claims to represent. And many who voted Republican out of anger at Democrats already have buyers remorse, as the dysfunctional rule of billionaires comes into view. Meanwhile, the duopoly is doubling down for genocide and endless war abroad, the war on working people at home, and ecological collapse across the planet. The need for a genuine opposition party and deep political change has never been so urgent, and the possibility of that change has never loomed so large. Join us to build momentum for the Green uprising. Jill Stein is a Harvard-educated doctor, a pioneering environmental health advocate, and an organizer for people, planet, and peace. She was the Green Party's Presidential candidate in 2024, as well as in 2012 and 2016. She has helped win victories in campaign finance reform, racially-just redistricting, and the clean-up of incinerators, coal plants, and other toxic threats. Jill has received several awards for health and environmental protection, including Clean Water Action’s “Not in Anyone’s Backyard” Award, the “Children’s Health Hero” Award, and the Toxic Action Center’s Citizen Award. She also served on the board of directors for Physicians for Social Responsibility. January 12th, 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm Via Zoom: please see the access info below. Green Sundays are a series of free public programs & discussions on topics "du jour" sponsored by the Green Party of Alameda County and held on the 2nd Sunday of each month. The monthly business meeting of the County Council of the Green Party follows at 7:00 pm, after a 30-minute break. Council meetings are open to anyone who is interested.
