We welcomed more than 50 Green Party members from around the state. We had a very productive meeting today, with several new platform planks adopted and a great discussion of election strategy in 2020. Most of the delegates also used our lunch break to BART over to Powell and Market to join today's protest against the Trump regime's plans for war in Venezuela. Greens say #HandsOffVenezuela! The agenda for tomorrow is posted on the Green Party of California website: http://www.cagreens.org/ga/2019-05 One of our prospective presidential candidates, Howie Hawkins of New York, just wrote a great essay that was published by CounterPunch. In it, Hawkins talks about the status of several competing climate-related proposals in the NY legislature, and discusses the positions of many environmental groups, including 350.org, on these proposals. There's also some very interesting information about the responses of local political groups, such as DSA, to these proposals and to Green Party candidates: https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/05/17/does-the-climate-movement-really-me… Note that the SF Green Party has not endorsed Hawkins or other Green candidates for President, as the decision on who to nominate will be decided by our membership in the primary election next year. The SF Green Party's monthly meeting is happening this Wednesday, and the detailed agenda is below. *===========================* What: Green Party Monthly Meeting Where: Redstone Bldg #301 (2940 16th Street, near South Van Ness), SF When: Wed, May 22, 7-9 pm Agenda 5 min - Intros 15 min - Report-back from the GPCA plenary 5 min - Call for volunteers - Haight St Fair (see announcement below) 1 hour - Organizing around Climate / Extinction Activism: A recent report by the UN found that millions of species are threatened with extinction: https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/blog/2019/05/nature-decline-unpre… We'll discuss the report, and Green-led activist campaigns that have grown in response to the climate and biodiversity crisis, such as Extinction Rebellion. Can we achieve the same success in CA as Greens had in the UK, both in raising public consciousness, and in electoral results? We'll also discuss some of what Howie Hawkins talked about in the article linked above, and the lessons we in CA can learn from the campaigns in NY. 30 min - Organizing around Improved Medicare for All: How we can promote this critical issue, and use it to get more Greens active in SF? 5 min - Announcements Every 4th Wednesday the SF Green Party meets to discuss issues of concern, listen to interesting speakers, endorse events, plan outreach and more!
