02 Jun '17

June 2 GREENZINE SF Green Party Weekly News and Events www.sfgreenparty.org twitter.com/sfgreenparty www.facebook.com/groups/SFGreenParty/ Dear Greens, We're starting off a summer of building the Green Party with some new literature! The postcard on our website (http://sfgreenparty.org/issues/80-help-grow-the-party-in-2017) is the first of several we're printing this year to educate San Franciscans about the Green Party and what we stand for. We're also making postcards on specific issues, such as Improved Medicare for All, Cutting the Military Budget, LGBTIQA+ rights, and local Green accomplishments. If you can help us grow by volunteering at events in June, please read on for more details. *===========================* What: Voter outreach at Haight St Fair Where: South Side of Haight St between Ashbury & Clayton, SF When: Sunday, June 11, 10:30 am - 6 pm Our focus at Haight St will be on educating voters about Single Payer Health Care (aka Improved Medicare for All), and on working to achieve this in California. We'll need to build a base of committed voters and volunteers who help us in the coming fight against the health insurance companies. We'll need volunteers to help staff our table, sign up volunteers, and register new Greens! Our booth location is B19S, on the south side of Haight btw Ashbury & Clayton. The fair runs from 11-6, and we also need volunteers to set up at 10:30 am and break down between 6 and 6:30 pm. Please email cc(a)sfgreens.org if you can help! *===========================* What: Voter outreach at Sunday Streets Where: Great Highway at Lincoln, SF When: Sunday, June 11, 11 am - 4 pm Mike Murphy will lead a contingent of Sunset Greens in educating voters about the Green Party, and about the problems that fake taxi companies like Uber and Lyft pose to our City. If you would like to join us at Sunday Streets, email cc(a)sfgreens.org so we can put you in touch. *===========================* What: Voter outreach at Pride Celebration Where: Civic Center, SF When: Sat-Sun, June 24-25 We will need volunteers for both Saturday and Sunday at the Pride celebration in the Civic Center! We will have new literature to educate voters about Green positions on LGBTIQA+ rights, as well as other important priorities such as Medicare for All and cutting the military budget. Help staff our table, talk about the Green Party, and register new Greens! We will need volunteers all day on both days, including setting up and taking down our booth. The booth location is C-002, which is right next to where we were last year: on Grove near Larkin, across from the main Library.

Greenzine: Defund DAPL, Plan for Women's Strike, State Green Party meeting
by Announcement list for SF Green Party, updated weekly 25 Feb '17

25 Feb '17

Feb 25 GREENZINE SF Green Party Weekly News and Events www.sfgreenparty.org twitter.com/sfgreenparty www.facebook.com/groups/SFGreenParty/ Dear Greens, Several important events are coming up this week. Activists will meet tomorrow (Sunday) to plan for the SF Women's Strike. We will also testify at the Board of Supervisors meeting this Tues in favor of divesting in the banks that fund the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). Finally, there is a statewide Green Party meeting coming up in two weeks, in Bakersfield. We welcome your participation! Details on all three of these events are below. *===========================* What: Women's Strike SF Bay Area 2nd Huddle Where: Redstone Building, 2940 16th St, Rm 301 When: Sunday, February 26, 11a-1p Help plan participation in the March 8th International Women's Strike & "A Day Without A Woman." Meet at Crossroads Women's Center Redstone Building, 2940 16th St, 3rd Floor, Rm 301 (same location as the Green Party office, near BART @ 16th & Mission) The call for this International Women's Strike (IWS) follows mass protest in 2016 against men's violence in Argentina and the criminalization of abortion in Poland, and the women's marches against Trump which mobilized millions in the US and 15 other countries, including 750,000 in LA. The Women's March is calling for "A Day Without A Woman" on March 8th. Women in over 40 countries are taking part so far. Let's pin down what M8 in SF Bay Area will look like: gather downtown, take time off from waged and unwaged work - the whole day, hours or minutes - to protest, speak out, march, do a 1 minute "Stand Up", put a broom outside our door, hang a banner from the window. More info: sf(a)allwomencount.net 415 626-4114 *===========================* What: Defund DAPL When: Tues, Feb 28, starting at 2 pm Where: Board of Supervisors Meeting, City Hall On November 4, 2016, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed Resolution No. 465-16, proclaiming the City and County of San Francisco's "solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in opposition to construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline across the Tribe's ancestral lands, waters, resources, and sites of cultural, historical and religious significance." However, this statement is meaningless while SF continues to entrust its more than $10 billion cash flow to the Bank of America, and over $800 million in pooled investments to other financial institutions that have provided credit to companies building and operating the Dakota Access Pipeline. The San Francisco Defund DAPL Coalition, which the SF Green Party endorses, asked 3 Supervisors to work with them on a draft of a "Defund DAPL" ordinance prohibiting the city from entering into cash management contracts with banks financing DAPL. They (respectfully) declined. This Tuesday, people will speak at the Board of Supervisors meeting to try to get at least one Supervisor on board with us to pass this ordinance. That's where you come in! We will prioritize indigenous voices, but all are welcome to speak at public comment! If you want to sign up in advance to speak, you can do so here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1njAOzD9MzCjBbjsxo69AJrYiFwu7VAWrHlOEX0WYcl… More info on the coalition is here: https://www.facebook.com/sfdefunddapl/ *===========================* What: State Green Party Meeting Where: Central Labor Council, 200 West Jeffrey Street, Bakersfield, CA When: Saturday/Sunday, March 11 & 12, 2017 Registration: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/general-assembly-green-party-of-california-tic… The General Assembly <http://www.cagreens.org/bylaws/2013-06-23#Article_7._General_Assembly> is the primary decision-making body of the Green Party of California (GPCA) and consists of delegates from each active county organization recognized by the GPCA.

Registration is open now. Please make sure to register early as prices will increase on February 26th. The SF Green Party has 3 more delegate slots open.
