June 16 GREENZINE SF Green Party Weekly News and Events www.sfgreenparty.org twitter.com/sfgreenparty www.facebook.com/groups/SFGreenParty/ Dear Greens, Good news on both ballot initiative campaigns that we've been supporting! The $15/hr minimum wage initiative will be on this November's ballot, even though a compromise pushed by Mayor Lee will delay full implementation until 2018. And our campaign to preserve natural grass athletic fields in Golden Gate Park is making news and picking up momentum! Our former Supervisorial candidate, Mike Murphy, also wrote a great article about the need to save Golden Gate Park from privatization and commercial development: http://sfgreenparty.org/issues/63-fake-turf-wars-by-mike-murphy Come to a house party at Green County Council member Denise D'Anne's house this Wednesday evening to help support the campaign: 351 Guerrero Street, between 15th/16th St 6:30-8:30 pm, Wed 6/18 Details here: http://sfgreenparty.org/events2/event/OGNqaGZpYWxwa2t0ZjgwZDMwZXZlbjRkM28gOG... *===========================* Pride Weekend June 28-29: Save the dates!
