July 3, 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, At our meeting last week, we reiterated our commitment to reforming the recall process in SF. We want voters to be able to choose a replacement for recalled elected officials on the same ballot as the recall election, instead of the Mayor appointing one of his friends. As a consequence, we did not make any endorsement on the recall of Joel Engardio in District 4 (although we want to remind voters that Engardio did not seek the Green Party's endorsement when he ran for office, and that we opposed his ballot measure regarding the Great Highway). We will post a more complete statement on our website regarding the D4 recall election. Thanks to everyone who helped us with voter outreach at SF Pride! We will be doing more voter outreach tomorrow, July 4, at the SF Mime Troupe's home opener. Details below: *===========================* What: Voter outreach at the SF Mime Troupe's home opener Where: Dolores Park, meet by entrance at Church and 18th St When: Fri, July 4, 1 pm - 4 pm We'll be doing voter outreach at the Mime Troupe's opening show in Dolores Park on Friday, July 4. Their play this year is called "Disruption - A Musical Farce." https://www.sfmt.org/ The play will start at 2 pm, with music at 1:30. Volunteers are needed to help us set up our table and do voter outreach starting at 1 pm.

Where: 2973 16th St, #300, SF When: Wed, March 26, 6-9 pm If you are upset at the Democrats for retreating and backpedaling, and if you are wanting to protect yourself from the far reaching effects of conservative policy, this is a platform for those who do wish to STAND UP. Progressive ideals are not radical and in fact have been the backbone of an aspiring San Francisco society. Union Jobs, Universal Healthcare, Free Childcare & Public Schools, Well Funded Public Transit, Safe Streets, Affordable Housing, and Public Utilities are good policy - they just need protection and to be brought into the new age. With a new generation of workers in the Green Party, we wish to infuse modernization and a strong, united working class back into decision making. San Francisco needs builders. Doers. Thinkers. People like you. This isn't just a meeting - it’s an invitation. An opportunity to bring your skills, passions, and ideas into a community of people who want to uplift this city and each other. You don't need to be an activist. You don't need political experience. You just need that feeling - that drive - to contribute, to create, to make things better. San Francisco has given us all so much. Now, it’s our turn to give back. We want to build a community of action—where projects, solutions, and skillsharing allow us to step up, contribute, and lead. Maybe you're a builder, an artist, a strategist. Maybe you work in tech, in government, in food service, in labor, or in education. Whatever your background, there is a role for you to contribute and volunteer. Join us. Bring your ideas. Find your role. You'll leave this meeting inspired, energized, and ready to make an impact. RSVP here: https://partiful.com/events/hOaPPT55o3FrqEu92l6I/ or email cc(a)sfgreens.org, or just show up! We'll provide food (Old Jerusalem), wine, and non-alcoholic drinks.

In his campaign announcement, he wrote: "We are reaching out broadly across the political spectrum, to Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and all who are fed up with dysfunctional politics. We have an unprecedented opportunity in front of us to create a state government that works for everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected." Here's more of his announcement, as well as more info about how you can get involved: https://butchware4gov.com/media/dr-butch-ware-green-party-launches-campaign… Dr. Ware was also recently on KPFK (KPFA's sister station in LA) to discuss universal healthcare for California. Here's a link to listen to the archive of the broadcast, from 7:30 am yesterday: https://archive.kpfk.org/_pa_dodown.php?id=124754 At our first meeting of 2025, Greens discussed things we'd like to focus on this year. Some of the topics our members are working on include: * Muni Now, Muni Forever (saving public transit) * Public grocery stores and pharmacies, to replace corporate branches that are closing * Working with organized labor (particularly Workers Strike Back) * Starting a Green think tank like SPUR * Clean Energy * Environmental justice in the Bayview and Treasure Island * Social Housing We'll continue this planning at our February meeting (see below) and our March meeting, which will have a special focus on new members. Other upcoming events of interest to Greens are below: *===========================* What: Workers Strike Back organizing conference with Jill Stein, Chris Hedges, and Kshama Sawant Where: Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center, Seattle, WA, and online When: Sat, Feb 22, 10 am - 5 pm We need to use our momentum from getting out the vote for Jill Stein's antiwar pro-worker campaign to fight the rich and their two parties. To end the wars and the genocide in Gaza. To fight against racism, sexism, and all forms of oppression. To organize protests and strike actions to win a $25/hour minimum wage, Medicare for All, quality affordable housing, and good union jobs for all. Both Democrats and Republicans are a dead end for workers, the union movement, and the antiwar struggle. We urgently need a new, independent, antiwar, working-class party that can take on the billionaires & warmongers and BREAK the two-party system. Register here: https://www.workersstrikeback.org/events/feb-2025-organizing-conference *===========================* What: Save the Date - Green Party members' meeting Where: 2973 16th St, #300, SF When: Wed, Feb 26, 7-9 pm The agenda will be set at the County Council meeting the week before; if you have items to suggest, please email cc(a)sfgreens.org.
