November 18 GREENZINE SF Green Party Weekly News and Events www.sfgreenparty.org twitter.com/sfgreenparty www.facebook.com/groups/SFGreenParty/ Dear Greens, We'll be analyzing the results of the November election at our meeting tonight. We'll also be planning for how we might build a SF Progressive Alliance modeled on Richmond's. Details below: What: Green Party Monthly Meeting and Election Analysis When: Wed, November 18, 7-9 pm Where: The Redstone Building, 2940 16th Street #302, SF Because of the Thanksgiving holiday, this month's meeting will be a week early, on the 3rd Wednesday instead of the 4th. We'll be analyzing the results of the SF election in detail, and planning for how we might build a SF Progressive Alliance modeled on Richmond's, at a larger organizing meeting next year. In the last several elections, SF progressive groups have squandered electoral opportunities by foolishly opposing each other in cases like this year's College Board race, when discussions prior to making endorsements might have cleared up misunderstandings. Greens think we need to follow the model of Richmond CA, in which Greens, progressive Democrats, and other like-minded voters organized together in a solid, long-term alliance well in advance of individual elections. The Richmond Progressive Alliance swept Chevron-backed candidates in 2014 elections, despite being vastly outspent. *===========================* For those of you who are KPFA members, this is a reminder that the SF Green Party has endorsed the United for Community Radio slate of candidates for the station board.
