Please forward to anybody who was involved in the campaign, or who might want to come - everybody is invited, not just volunteers from 20 years ago! http://www.sfgreenparty.org/10-campaigns/103-matt-for-mayor-20th-anniversary... 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) * 8 pm 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. Please email cc@sfgreens.org with any questions or suggestions. We are mailing a postcard to all current Greens to let them know about the event; if you can help contribute to mailing costs, please donate on our website: http://sfgreenparty.org/donate *===========================* What: Antiwar Events Where: Everywhere When: Follow social media for details Greens have been active in several pro-Palestinian protests in the Bay Area.
