August 25 GREENZINE SF Green Party Weekly News and Events www.sfgreenparty.org twitter.com/sfgreenparty www.facebook.com/groups/SFGreenParty/ We've made endorsement decisions on all propositions on this November's ballot. Those are posted on our website, and we will post a complete voter guide with longer explanations as the election gets closer: http://www.sfgreenparty.org/endorsements/75-november-2016-endorsements Some events for our endorsed candidates, including Jill Stein and Francisco Herrera, are listed below. Please volunteer! We've also sent out endorsement questionnaires to all candidates for Supervisor, School Board, College Board, and BART Board. If you support a candidate for those offices and want them to receive the Green endorsement, please contact them to ask them to return their questionnaire by Aug 31. We will post questionnaires on our website and continue making enorsements next week and at a candidate forum on September 6 (see below). All our meetings are open to the public, and new members are welcome! *===========================* What: Meetup for Jill Stein supporters Where: Lost & Found Bar, Oakland (address below) When: Fri, Aug 26, 6 pm Given the enthusiasm that our Town Hall Watch Party attracted, both in the number of people who showed up and others who messaged the organizer wanting more events, wanting to get involved, there is a clear demand for getting active. As such, the purpose of this event is twofold: 1) Organizing Locally, Nationally, Digitally & Analog for Jill Stein AND Local Candidates across the Bay, discussing ways in which we can help up the ballot & down! 2) A Social Mixer for Progressives to just kick back It is posted on Jill's site and better details can be found here, on the Sanders Supporters for Stein Meetup Page <https://www.meetup.com/Bay4JillStein/events/233450367/> Lost & Found is at 2040 Telegraph Ave in Oakland, near the 19th Street BART station. *===========================* What: Merchant Walk with Francisco Herrera Where: Meet at Excelsior Library, 4400 Mission St (near Excelsior) When: Sat, Aug 27, 12:30 pm Francisco Herrera and volunteers for his campaign will be walking up and down the Mission Street business corridor in the Excelsior, putting up signs for his Supervisorial candidacy.
