Francisco writes: I would like to thank everyone who came and supported this event. It was a complete success and opened the door for what is coming for district elections. As the only Green Party candidate for miles, I humbly request the support of all Greens to join our people-powered effort to do door-knocking, phone calling, and having a presence at BART and Muni bus stops. Or simply by sending a donation of $11 for D11 (or multiples of $11). Please call Francisco's campaign at 415-240-1697, or visit his website to make a donation: http://www.francisco4supe.org/ Early voting has started!

A complete list of our endorsements, and an image of our bookmark, are on our website: http://www.sfgreenparty.org/endorsements/75-november-2016-endorsements We will soon be mailing our voter guide to all Green voters in SF, as well as posting a much longer explanation of all our endorsements on our website (at the same link). *===========================* What: Tabling for Jill Stein at Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival Where: 429 Main St, Half Moon Bay, CA When: Saturday, Oct 15, 9 am-5 pm Join South Bay organizers for Jill Stein at this fantastic event to celebrate the Fall and learn about Jill Stein and the Green Party's principle in putting people, planet and peace above profit.
