02 Feb '15

February 2 GREENZINE SF Green Party Weekly News and Events www.sfgreenparty.org twitter.com/sfgreenparty www.facebook.com/groups/SFGreenParty/ Dear Greens, How Green is your Supervisor? We've posted our latest report card for SF Board of Supervisors members. It shows the most important votes in 2014, from a Green Party perspective, and whether each supervisor supported or opposed our position. While Eric Mar, David Campos, and John Avalos continued to be our Greenest supervisors, Jane Kim and Norman Yee also improved substantially this year. And one a critical public safety issue, Katy Tang cast her first pro-Green vote in two years! Mark Farrell, on the other hand, continued his streak of three years of unwavering support for San Francisco's corporate elites, not casting a single Green vote on a contentious issue. See all the details of how SF supervisors voted, here: http://sfgreenparty.org/issues/67-sf-supervisors-report-card-2014 *===========================* Tuesday, February 3 11 am - 12:30 pm Sacramento and Van Ness, SF Rally against the privatization of our Post Offices! Join postal workers outside the Staples at Sacramento and Van Ness in SF, this Tuesday from 11 am - 12:30 pm. *===========================* Saturday, February 7 11:30 am - 3 pm Frank Ogawa / Oscar Grant Plaza, 14th & Broadway, Oakland March for Real Climate Leadership! On February 7th, thousands of Californians from across the state are gathering in Governor Jerry Brown's longtime home of Oakland to say that we need real climate leadership in the face of the drought. Instead of reigning in the oil and gas industry and putting an end to incredibly dangerous and water-intensive practices like fracking, Governor Brown has been letting companies continue with business as usual. http://marchforclimateleadership.org/ *===========================* Paid contractor wanted: SF Green Party Fundraiser/Volunteer Coordinator (a part time independent contractor (1099) position): http://sfgreenparty.org/help-wanted *===========================* To submit events for our newsletter, please email a short blurb to news(a)sfgreens.org.

Monthly Green Party Meeting Where: Redstone Building Rm 301, 2940 16th Street, SF When: Wednesday, 11/19, 7-9 pm (Please note date and room change) Agenda: * Election Recap * Design new literature for tabling next year * Plan holiday party * Other election strategy (e.g., next year's elections) *===========================* Greens in the News: Rosa Clemente, our former Vice Presidential candidate, was on Uprising this week talking about the Green Party. She had a lot of great and constructive things to say: http://uprisingradio.org/home/2014/11/10/former-green-vp-candidate-rosa-cle… Rosa has also gotten behind an effort to have a university president fired after he made some misogynist comments. https://www.change.org/p/the-lincoln-university-pa-board-of-trustees-fire-p… Rose Aguilar was speaking positively about the Green Party on Your Call last week (Yourcallradio.org.) She was saying she always looks at our election recommendations. She also lamented how hard it is to get any information about all the judges on the ballot. Rose is a nice alternative to the Democratic Party hack parade that is dominating KPFA these days. You may know that Gayle McLaughlin has been everywhere, including on Bill Moyers Journal for 2 weeks in a row. http://billmoyers.com/episode/full-show-facing-corporate-greed/ http://billmoyers.com/2014/10/30/mayor-gayle-mclaughlin/ *===========================* Paid contractor wanted: SF Green Party Fundraiser/Volunteer Coordinator (a part time independent contractor (1099) position): http://sfgreenparty.org/help-wanted *===========================* To submit events for our newsletter, please email a short blurb to news(a)sfgreens.org.
