When: Wed, April 24, 7-9 pm Agenda: * Introductions * Discussion with Stein campaign - how can we work with a presidential campaign to build local Green Parties such as ours in SF? Now that the Stein campaign is receiving federal matching funds of up to $250 per donor, how can they leverage those funds to build grassroots organization that will last past the November election? * Plans for voter outreach this summer - Pride, Sunday Streets, farmers markets, Haight St fair, etc. * Discussion of election calendar for November - can we find more local candidates before filing deadline, plans to update questionnaires and make endorsements soon after filing deadline so we can have the greatest impact on campaigns. * Update on Single Payer healthcare - new nurses' campaign. 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.
