November 17, 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, The San Francisco Green Party is proud to announce what is certain to be the event of the year: the 20 Year Reunion of the Historic 2003 Matt Gonzalez for Mayor of San Francisco Campaign! Reminisce with us about shared moments and amazing memories. Re-connect with old friends. Discover recent efforts of staff and volunteers from back in 2003. Organized as a social event, the idea started with a volunteer coming by our booth at the Haight Street Fair in early September. Matt Gonzalez agreed to participate. A volunteer reserved the epic 111 Minna Gallery as our venue, which we all remember from the headline-grabbing 2003 campaign challenging now-Governor Gavin Newsom. * Saturday, December 9, 2023 * 111 Minna Gallery at 111 Minnna Street, (Minna is a half street between Mission and Howard Streets and Second Street and New Montgomery Streets) * 8pm until 11 pm * Special Appearance by Matt Gonzalez! * No-Host bar * 21+ 111 Minna is accessible via mass transit: BART Montgomery Station, in addition to various MUNI lines. We ask for a $10-20 donation (sliding scale) to cover our costs; however, nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. We will not be holding our regularly scheduled monthly meeting in November or December because of the holidays. Please join us instead at the Matt for Mayor reunion on December 9! *===========================* What: Antiwar Events Where: Everywhere When: Follow social media for details Greens have been active in several pro-Palestinian protests in the Bay Area.
