Where: Rincon Park, Folsom and Embarcadero When: Mon, Oct 14, 2 pm The Coalition to Close the Concentration Camps is planning an action that they are calling a "Tour of Shame" on October 14, 2 pm, starting from Rincon Park at Folsom and Embarcadero. The idea is to target corporations in our own backyard that are profiting from the detention and deportation state--corporations like Amazon, Google and Salesforce.

These elections are ongoing through October 15, and people who were already members before a couple of months ago should have gotten ballots by email. This is a ranked choice election in which voters can rank all the candidates. The SF Green Party has endorsed the entire Rescue Pacifica slate, which includes two Greens: Christine Pepin and Don Macleay. The other members of that slate are Marilyn Langlois, Mantra Helene Plonsey, Karina Stenquist, and Tom Voorhees. Finally, after ranking all members of Rescue Pacifica, we recommend that KPFA members also rank Aki Tanaka and Carol Wolfley on their ballots. *===========================* What: Rocking Rally @The Ramp for Chesa Boudin for DA Where: The Ramp, 855 Terry A Francois Boulevard, SF When: Wed, Oct 16, 6:45 pm Join the Boudin campaign to rally support with awesome musicians and entertainers for Chesa 4 DA!

Instead, it remains one of the largest sources of dirty carbon from fossil fuels in the US. For the sake of our future and our children's futures, we demand Zero Carbon Emissions in CA by 2025. This is the message we're bringing out into the streets as part of the International Rebellion: Rebels Without Borders! This is the big day, rebels. Join us in the streets with swarming starting at 7am! We'll be training on-site and sending out swarms on the hour -- please sign up for swarming so we know you'll be joining! At 11:30am, we will gather at UN Plaza for a grand die-in; we will then process to the State Building and die-in once more to make our message crystal clear: action on climate change means life or death. Note that this action will be powerful and disruptive, but not arrestable; we welcome anyone to join in. We'll be meeting at Larkin between Grove and Fulton by the entrance to the SF Public Library. Look for our tent! *===========================* What: Extinction Rebellion General Meeting Where: South Berkeley Senior Center, Berkeley When: Sun, Oct 20, 2-4 pm Join XR Bay Area in Berkeley at the South Berkeley Senior Center to celebrate the October Rebellion, get to know XR, and see where you fit in to the movement!
