Where: 2973 16th St, #300, SF When: Wed, March 26, 6-9 pm If you are upset at the Democrats for retreating and backpedaling, and if you are wanting to protect yourself from the far reaching effects of conservative policy, this is a platform for those who do wish to STAND UP. Progressive ideals are not radical and in fact have been the backbone of an aspiring San Francisco society. Union Jobs, Universal Healthcare, Free Childcare & Public Schools, Well Funded Public Transit, Safe Streets, Affordable Housing, and Public Utilities are good policy - they just need protection and to be brought into the new age. With a new generation of workers in the Green Party, we wish to infuse modernization and a strong, united working class back into decision making. San Francisco needs builders. Doers. Thinkers. People like you. This isn't just a meeting - it’s an invitation. An opportunity to bring your skills, passions, and ideas into a community of people who want to uplift this city and each other. You don't need to be an activist. You don't need political experience. You just need that feeling - that drive - to contribute, to create, to make things better. San Francisco has given us all so much. Now, it’s our turn to give back. We want to build a community of action—where projects, solutions, and skillsharing allow us to step up, contribute, and lead. Maybe you're a builder, an artist, a strategist. Maybe you work in tech, in government, in food service, in labor, or in education. Whatever your background, there is a role for you to contribute and volunteer. Join us. Bring your ideas. Find your role. You'll leave this meeting inspired, energized, and ready to make an impact. RSVP here: https://partiful.com/events/hOaPPT55o3FrqEu92l6I/ or email cc@sfgreens.org, or just show up! We'll provide food (Old Jerusalem), wine, and non-alcoholic drinks.
