Greenzine: KPFA elections and upcoming meeting
by Announcement list for SF Green Party, updated weekly 14 Aug '23

14 Aug '23

August 14, 2023 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, We think many of you probably listen to KPFA radio. So if you're a KPFA subscriber, we'd like to remind you that it's voting time. On August 15, an election gets underway to choose the next members of KPFA's Local Station Board, the "LSB." The Pacifica Bylaws (with listener-elected boards) were adopted after a long struggle against the 1999 takeover attempt at KPFA. So please use your hard-won right to vote. We strongly recommend voting for the "Rescue Pacifica" ticket. To make maximum use of your "single transferable vote," please vote for all eight candidates (in any order). The Rescue-Pacifica ticket is: * Rich Stone (a SF Green Party County Council member) * Cheryl Davila * Stan Woods * Edward Escobar * Pathma Venasithamby * Dr. Nayvin Gordon * Steve Zeltzer * Elizabeth Milos Read more about the candidates, platform, and endorsements at https://RescuePacifica.net/ Why vote for Rescue Pacifica? Because they oppose the pro-war / pro-intervention views that lately have been appearing more often on KPFA. Those opinions can already be found throughout the corporate media. We think KPFA should remain true to its history as an anti-war media outlet. Also, it's time for an infusion of fresh talent – we need to hear more voices from people of color, especially youth of color. Another of their priorities is having the station walk its talk about "democracy," by restoring participatory decision-making about programming. Top-down decision making is not the way to run a community institution! For many years, KPFA had a listener/staff Program Council to review proposed new shows and evaluate existing ones. A previous management eliminated the Program Council. It needs to be revived. Rescue Pacifica is also Green-friendly -- two Rescue Pacifca Greens currently serve on the LSB: Daniel Borgstrom and Alameda County Council member James McFadden. We urge KPFA subscribers not to vote for the rival "Protectors" slate. This faction (or its predecessors under different names) has held a majority on the LSB for years now, yet has actually avoided some of the most important responsibilities assigned to the LSB under the Pacifica Bylaws. For example: KPFA's previous General Manager resigned last summer after nine years on the job. The Bylaws require the LSB to do an annual evaluation of the manager's job performance. But the Protectors-dominated LSB did only one such evaluation, in nine years! And although the manager resigned a year ago, the Protectors majority still hasn't begun the process of hiring a successor. KPFA subscribers deserve an LSB that takes its duties seriously, and will do the work that's required of it. KPFA subscribers who provided an email address to the station should receive voting instructions by email. If you don't receive a ballot link by email on August 15, please go to https://elections.pacifica.org/ and follow the instructions there. *===========================* What: Save the Date - Green Party monthly members' meeting Where: Redstone Bldg (2940 16th Street, near South Van Ness) #301, SF When: Wed, Aug 23, 7-9 pm The agenda will be set at the CC meeting the week before. 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 wheelchair accessible.

Greens are leading this movement: about 1 of 4 participants at last month's SF peace rally were registered Green, and Greens from at least five Bay Area counties attended. Details and location of this Saturday's rally are below. As the Democrats work tirelessly on bank bailouts and starting World War 3, they've given up on any pretense of supporting progressive policy. Barry Hermanson wrote an article about how the CA Democratic Party won't even discuss Universal healthcare legislation in Sacramento this year: https://sfbayview.com/2023/03/universal-healthcare-legislation-introduced-i… We also hope to see you all at our membership meeting next Wednesday - details and agenda are below. *===========================* What: Anti-war rally Where: 24th and Mission BART Plaza, SF When: Saturday, March 18, noon Join CODEPINK, ANSWER Coalition and Bay Area county Green Parties in San Francisco to protest on the 20th anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq.

Key demands include: * End the $100 Billion in arms shipments to Ukraine * End NATO * Stop the permanent war economy that funnels trillions of dollars away from jobs, education and health care * Negotiations now! The people of the US are not interested in the possibility of nuclear war nor the Pentagon’s policy of "weakening Russia." * No to war with China!

For rallies around the nation, see: https://rageagainstwar.com/rallies/ People often ask: Do rallies and marches do any good? I believe that people standing together for what we want is always worthwhile, and besides, it’s a good way to see people we know, almost like having a party and not having to prepare in advance or clean up after. Also, it’s open air which is great these days. For people coming from the East Bay: meet at the MacArthur BART station at 11:15 am to go thru the gate promptly at 11:30. We will sit in the last car so that if you get on at a different station you may still be able to hook up with us because you'll know where to find us.

Greenzine - rally for water defenders, members' meeting next week

February 15, 2023 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 last month's meeting, we brainstormed on ideas for organizing our members. Although there are no elections this year, we'll be walking precincts to contact Greens to try to get people more involved! If you can help, contact us at "cc(a)sfgreens.org". We hope to see you in the next week at a rally tomorrow in support of Salvadoran water defenders, and at our membership meeting next Wednesday. *===========================* What: Rally for water defenders Where: Salvadoran Consulate, 507 Polk Street, SF When: Thurs, 11 am The Bukele government arrested five environmental activists in Santa Marta and are holding them in pre-trial detention. The charges are "illicit association," basically gang membership under the code of the 'State of Exception," a declared state of emergency that allows Bukele dictatorial powers, and supposed crimes during the civil war in the 1980s. The suspected reason is their activism in the fight to stop Pacific Rim mining company from mining for gold using cyanide in the watershed of the Rio Lempa River, the main water source for San Salvador, and the subsequent successful campaign to get a law passed against any metallic mining in the country. https://cispes.org/article/cispes-and-us-el-salvador-sister-cities-statemen… Bay Area CISPES and NorCal fmln are holding a rally on Thursday, Feb. 16, at 11 a.m., in front of the Salvadoran Consulate, 507 Polk Street. (flyers attached). *===========================* What: Green Party monthly members' meeting Where: Redstone Bldg (2940 16th Street, near South Van Ness) #301, SF When: Wed, Feb 22, 7-9 pm The agenda will be determined at our CC meeting this week, and will focus around outreach to Green Party members in SF. Another message will be sent next week with details. 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 wheelchair accessible.
