24 Jul '17

July 24 GREENZINE SF Green Party Weekly News and Events www.sfgreenparty.org twitter.com/sfgreenparty www.facebook.com/groups/SFGreenParty/ Dear Greens, Thanks to everybody who volunteered at Sunday Streets last weekend! Our agenda for this Wednesday's monthly meeting, and a notice about an item on this week's Board of Supervisors meeting are below. *===========================* What: Testify at City Hall against "Chop Shop" legislation Where: 1 Dr. Carleton B. Goodlett Place, Room 250 When: Tue, July 25, from 2-4 pm The Green Party has endorsed the "Homeless Bill of Rights" and opposes laws that serve no purpose other than criminalizing homeless people: http://wraphome.org/what/homeless-bill-of-rights/california-right-to-rest-a… Police in SF already ignore bike theft, and do not want to do the work that is required to build a case against re-sellers of stolen bikes. Instead, they are working with D8 Supervisor Sheehy to pass a new law that will make it illegal to have too many bike parts without a business license or proof of ownership. Ironically, this law will lead to police spending even less of their time investigating real crimes (including bike thefts), since they will use this new law as an excuse to spend more time harassing homeless people and moving their camps from one neighborhood to the next. The Chop Shop legislation is on the agenda for the Board of Supervisors meeting. Come speak out against this legislation! *===========================* What: Green Party Monthly Meeting Where: Redstone Bldg (2940 16th Street, near South Van Ness) #301, SF When: Wed, July 26, from 7-9 pm. Agenda: * Discussion of next steps for Single Payer Healthcare efforts in California, and report-back from meeting with Phil Ting. * Planning of outreach efforts for the rest of the Summer and Fall. New literature, places to table, and efforts to get more new Green Party members active in the party. 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 whelchair accessible. To make a presentation or gain the SFGP endorsement of events and issues, please contact our SFGP County Council at: cc(a)sfgreens.org *===========================* To submit events for our newsletter, please email a short blurb to news(a)sfgreens.org.

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.
