July 21 GREENZINE SF Green Party Weekly News and Events www.sfgreenparty.org twitter.com/sfgreenparty www.facebook.com/groups/SFGreenParty/ Dear Greens, We're meeting this Wednesday evening to try to make sense of a crowded November ballot, and to consider endorsements on at least 15 propositions that are currently pending. See below for logistics and links to the text of all the ballot initiatives. Candidate endorsements will take place in August, after we send our questionnaires to all candidates for local office. http://www.sfgreenparty.org/events2/event/YW8zZGhodWoxa2xxN2RoNnAwdHNlOTFwaW... And with the recent Israeli attacks on the people of Gaza, we want to ask people to join us in supporting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which we think will be the only effective means to convince Israel to end its occupation of Palestine. There are numerous protests happening around the Bay Area, which we post in the Events section of our website as we find out about them. Here is a statement we released four years ago explaining our position, and the recent attacks have unfortunately proven our point: http://www.sfgreenparty.org/issues/13-israel-bds *===========================* SF Green Party Monthly Members Meeting Wed, July 23 - 7-9 pm Redstone Building, Room 302 2940 16th Street (between Mission and South Van Ness) We hold monthly meetings on the 4th Wednesday of every month.
