July 24 GREENZINE SF Green Party Weekly News and Events www.sfgreenparty.org twitter.com/sfgreenparty www.facebook.com/groups/SFGreenParty/ Dear Greens, Thanks to everybody who volunteered at Sunday Streets last weekend! Our agenda for this Wednesday's monthly meeting, and a notice about an item on this week's Board of Supervisors meeting are below. *===========================* What: Testify at City Hall against "Chop Shop" legislation Where: 1 Dr. Carleton B. Goodlett Place, Room 250 When: Tue, July 25, from 2-4 pm The Green Party has endorsed the "Homeless Bill of Rights" and opposes laws that serve no purpose other than criminalizing homeless people: http://wraphome.org/what/homeless-bill-of-rights/california-right-to-rest-ac... Police in SF already ignore bike theft, and do not want to do the work that is required to build a case against re-sellers of stolen bikes. Instead, they are working with D8 Supervisor Sheehy to pass a new law that will make it illegal to have too many bike parts without a business license or proof of ownership. Ironically, this law will lead to police spending even less of their time investigating real crimes (including bike thefts), since they will use this new law as an excuse to spend more time harassing homeless people and moving their camps from one neighborhood to the next. The Chop Shop legislation is on the agenda for the Board of Supervisors meeting. Come speak out against this legislation! *===========================* What: Green Party Monthly Meeting Where: Redstone Bldg (2940 16th Street, near South Van Ness) #301, SF When: Wed, July 26, from 7-9 pm.
