Thank you for joining the SF Green Party! With every new member, the voice of the Green Party is amplified. Now, we'd like you to take the next step and help us grow into an even more effective political force. Leading or working in coalitions with like-minded people in SF, these are a few of the key things we've accomplished: * Increasing the SF Minimum Wage * Stronger Ethics and Sunshine laws, * Banning Plastic Bags * CleanPowerSF *Sunday Streets We've had great success despite never having had more than a handful of local Green elected officials over the years. We owe this track record of achievements to our active and very supportive membership. To encourage more independent activists who share our values to run for local office as Greens, we need to build both our funding and volunteer bases! We have enclosed a donation envelope. We don't take corporate donations, so we need small donations from individuals to print new outreach materials and pay for our booth fees. Your time as a volunteer is even more valuable. Here are some upcoming events where you can meet fellow Green activists and help build the party: At both the Haight St Fair, and at Pride, we'll need volunteers to help staff our table, talk about our local and national campaigns, and register new Greens! Please email cc@sfgreens.org if you can help. Haight St Fair Sunday, June 11, 10 am - 6:30 pm Booth B19S, on the south side of Haight btw Ashbury & Clayton. Pride Sat-Sun, June 24-25, all day Booth C-002, on Grove near Larkin, across from the main Library. We hold monthly Membership meetings on the fourth Wednesdays of every month at our office (see address above), from 7-9 pm, with other events throughout the month. To get reminders of these events, please sign up for our weekly email newsletter on our website, www.sfgreenparty.org. All our meetings are open to the public, and newcomers are welcome and encouraged to join us. Thank you again for your support. We look forward to seeing you in 2017 and beyond!
