If you can only stop by for a short time, it is still very much appreciated by the workers. Many of the hotels in SF have now signed contracts with Local 2.

SFGP Greenzine: Sunday: GPCA GOALS & STRATEGIES for LONG-TERM PLANNING / Wed: Monthly Meeting
by Announcement list for SF Green Party, updated weekly 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

Greentings, We have a very special forum on Sunday to discuss the future of the GP in CA, and on Wednesday we have our Monthly Meeting... *GREEN PARTY OF CALIFORNIA GOALS AND STRATEGIES FOR LONG-TERM PLANNING* A Participatory Exercise *WHEN: Sunday, March 20th - 1 to 5 pm* WHO: Bay Area Greens San Mateo and Santa Clara Greens recently met to discuss Goals and Strategies. The information sent out to them in advance of their meeting appears below. This meeting is being hosted by San Francisco and Alameda Greens. Greens in all other parts of the Bay Area or the state are welcome to attend. Please forward to your Green lists. The results from this meeting will be brought before the GPCA spring plenary. *WHERE: The Women's Building, 3543 18th Street, San Francisco - Audre Lorde room* Between Valencia and Guerrero. Public transit within 4 Blocks - 16th Street BART station, #14, 22, 33 and 49 busses and the J-Church street car. WHY: GPCA needs to hear from you. What are your concerns? What would you like to see the Green Party accomplish in the coming years? What are you willing to do to make that happen? This room will seat up to 80 people. NEEDS: Some drinks and snacks would be nice. Please respond to barry(a)hermansons.com if you can bring something. The following text was written by Jim Stauffer. When you have a moment, it is worth reading. For me, it is an exciting time to be a Green. Corporate America is spending tens of millions of dollars trying to convince everyone that they are green. Everyone wants to be green. How can we take advantage of that? Dear Greens: The state party would like to engage county Locals in an exercise to help establish long-term goals for the party. By agreeing on a set of goals, we give the party definition and purpose. From those goals we develop strategies for their implementation. This creates projects for our Working Groups and Standing Committees, and it helps attract volunteers and donations. It?s important to be realistic when setting goals. Brainstorming exercises encourage free-thinking with no critique or analysis of suggested issues. Goal setting is different; it?s intended to derive projects that are achievable, not just desirable. We all have a list of favorite issues and a wish-list of what we?d like the party to be. But we must focus on what we can actually accomplish ? realistic goals. Locals are encourage to get together with neighboring counties for this exercise. Gathering into a group from a few counties helps the thought process. It gets us outside of our normal monthly meeting crowd and provides the synergy of a larger group. PROCESS Take notes of the goals discussed and rank or categorize them by the level of agreement or support. There is wiki that is (ostensibly) for posting comments. It?s not designed too well, but it can be used for submitting our comments. http://wiki.cagreens.org/index.php/GPCA_Strategic_Action_Plan DISCUSSION The state party wants to hear what Locals think our long-term goals should be. This requires some degree of open discussion, but the exercise must remain moderated by the theme of realistic goals. For every suggested goal, the presenter should have some idea of a strategy to implement that goal. Basically, the question to answer is, ?What should the GPCA accomplish in five years and in ten years?? Some organizing may help the discussion: Political Goals Partisan and non-partisan candidates Campaigns and ballot proposition Election reforms Internal / Party Goals Voter registration Developing county Locals Fundraising Internal structure and process REFERENCES State committee and working group people have been discussing this subject and have come up with their list of issues. These are being provided here just as a reference, they should not be used as guidance for your discussions. Its purpose is to provide input as to what volunteers at the state level see as our long-term issues. 1. Given the current recession and its detrimental effect on fundraising, should GPCA and its locals adopt a ?survival plan? until recovery is tangible (e.g. unemployment below 8%)? How would this affect all goals and strategies? 2. What are realistic voter registration goals? What attracts people to a small party? What caused the California Green registration decline of the past six years, can it be reversed? 3. Given that we have less than 1% of registered voters, what are realistic electoral strategies for a party of our size? Do we continue attempts in partisan races or focus on non-partisan races? Is there a realistic strategy for winning partisan races? 4. How do we recruit/develop electable candidates for non-partisan offices? 5. Does Prop 14 provide any potential to us? 6. Should we make a real, concerted effort to promote ranked-choice voting (i.e. Instant Runoff Voting and proportional representation)? 7. The GPCA?s decentralized structure and consensus-seeking decision process is an experiment that we?ve carried on for 20 years. Is it working well enough? Is there a good balance of responsibilities between the state party and the county parties? Should we examine giving more authority over internal business to the state party? 8. Is continuing to rely solely on volunteer labor a viable plan for growth? 9. What factors have created viable, stable Locals? What factors have caused Locals to deteriorate? 10. What resources do Locals need from the state party? What resources does the state party need from Locals? Contact Barry (barry(a)hermansons.com or 415-664-7754) with any questions or comments. ================== *Monthly Meeting- March 23rd, 7-8:45* *Western Addition library (1550 Scott St @ Geary), in the community meeting room.* *Agenda* Beginning at 7:00 sharp, because we must clear the building at 8:45 7:00 pm: Introductions 7:05 - 7:20: SF Garbage contract - Barbara Commins 7:20 - 7:50: Twitter tax break - Ramses Teon Nichols 7:50 - 8:30: Anti-privatization discussion. Meet other groups involved in efforts to stop privatization of City parks and public spaces - Eric Brooks 8:30- 8:45: Future directions. Plan public forum? All our meetings are open to the public and new members are most welcome! ================== *Resist the War Machine, March 19 in San Francisco* Come rain or shine, the rally will start & go at the UN Plaza from 12-1:30, then march to the Westin St. Francis Hotel in Union Square. The Rally will be in commemoration of the 8th Anniversary of the Iraqi invasion and the march will be in conjunction with Local 2 and other labor groups and unions. This is a great opportunity to show solidarity with the anti-war movement, especially in light of the North Africa/Middle East uprisings; and with Labor in support of the Hotel workers and the struggle of public workers in Wisconsin, California and all over the US. http://www.peaceandfreedom.org/home/mar-19-san-francisco-resist-the-war-mac… ================ *While we work out the final touches on our new website please join us over at our Facebook Group*: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=62534706497&v=wall Contact: email cc(a)sfgreens.org, or phone 415-480-GPSF (480-4773).

Green Holiday Hoopla! This Wed. Dec 15! Schedule posted!
by Announcement list for SF Green Party, updated weekly 12 Dec '10

12 Dec '10

Party people in the house! They said we couldn't do it with such short notice, they were worried we'd lose our shirts, they wanted to settle for a small get-together at a little pub, (oh wait, that was us talking!), but guess what?!!! We enlisted the services of 7 of the city's bumpinest DJs ready to throw down with the richest diversity of dance music the city has to offer; the up and coming band Phantom Power, that seriously blew me away at practice last week; a powerful, interactive performance artist, Ryan Hayes; and an enlightening political program to kick it all off at 7! We've got a $100 gourmet vegan ice cream cake on the way along with plenty of snacks to keep you happy... All we need now is your help spreading the word and coming prepared to drink (they even have decent non-alcoholic drinks at Public Works)! RSVP and invite your friends! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=152253798154705 Not on Facebook? Share this: http://www.sfgreenparty.org/ Also, please consider changing your FB profile picture to the party flyer for these last 3 days! Come celebrate the fact that reasonable, thoughtful, fun, creative, progressive people like you have a Party to call their own. And as much as the privileged, "powers that be" try to ignore and attack us, the Green Party is here to stay, because there's nowhere else for people like us to go! ============== *Wed. Dec. 15th 7pm-2am The Public Works SF* *161 Erie Street (off Mission bet. Duboce and 14th) FREE* Happy Holidaze People! The SF Greens are going all out this time!

The goal is simple - come together and have a great time as we revitalize the Green Party and inspire a fresh surge of political energy! ...Spread the word and come out to support a true progressive alternative to the scandalous, corporate-controlled duopoly that screws us over year after year! *COME EARLY FOR THE POLITICS* - an analysis of the last local election and ideas about how we can grow stronger for the future.
