[SFGP Volunteers] volunteers for next weekend?
by John-Marc Chandonia 03 Apr '11

03 Apr '11

Hi, There's a lot going on next weekend: the Green Festival both April 9 and 10 in SOMA, and an anti-war demo April 10 in Dolores Park. It would be great if the Green Party could be visible at one or both places. I'm going to be away on the 10th, so I can't help transport stuff to either location that day. However, I'd be happy to help move the table/banner/etc down to the Green Festival on the 9th if others are available to help with registration. Rich, are you able to coordinate on either day? Anybody else want to be there? If we get enough volunteers for Sunday, we could register voters and be visible at both places. JMC -- John-Marc Chandonia (jmc(a)sfgreens.org) http://sfgreens.org/

[SFGP Volunteers] Greenzine: 1-week countdown party next Tuesday at Madrone
by John-Marc Chandonia 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Dear Greens, Celebrate the 1 week countdown to the election with the Green Party! Instead of our regular monthly meeting, we'll be at Madrone Lounge (500 Divisadero St on the corner of Fell) on Tuesday night (10/26) from 7-9 to celebrate the release of our 2010 Voter Guide. This year marks the 3rd edition of our election newspaper, and is our largest mailing to date at 20,000 copies. We also printed another 5,000 copies to hand out. Getting these distributed is key to help elect our endorsed candidates in swing supervisorial districts as well as citywide races. We need volunteers to disribute these at BART and Muni stops and college campuses, and to leave a few at coffee shops. If you can help, please stop by our launch party to pick some up! We hope you'll volunteer for one or more of our endorsed candidates, and pass out a few copies of our Voter Guide at the same time. We're focusing on key supervisorial races in Districts 6, 8, and 10, but anywhere you could hand these out would be helpful! We look forward to seeing you next Tuesday night! --- We'll also be tabling at Sunday Streets in the Tenderloin this Sunday, 10/24. Look for our table at the Civic Center. --- We're especially proud of our gubernatorial candidate, Laura Wells. Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman not only refuse to debate her, they had her arrested just for being in the audience at the latest "debate" even though she had a ticket! This is what plutocracy looks like. Read about it here: http://oaklandnorth.net/2010/10/15/green-party-candidate-describes-arrest-a… ============================ Find us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=62534706497 http://www.sfgreenparty.org

by John-Marc Chandonia 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Dear Volunteers, The SF Green Party needs help between now and the election distributing our Voter Guide at BART and Muni stops. College campuses and coffee shops are also good places to pass some out. This is key to help elect our endorsed candidates in swing supervisorial districts as well as citywide races. We're focusing on key supervisorial races in Districts 6, 8, and 10, but anywhere you could hand these out would be helpful! We mailed out 20,000 copies already, and we have 5,000 left to hand out. Please email me or call Erika at 337-1499 if you can help! Thanks, JMC -- John-Marc Chandonia (jmc(a)sfgreens.org) http://sfgreens.org/

[SFGP Volunteers] Urgent! Please take 5 minutes to help the Green Party defeat Prop. 14!
by John-Marc Chandonia 19 May '10

19 May '10

Dear Greens, Absentee voting has now started for the June election, so *it's time for us to be flooding the newspapers with letters opposing Prop. 14!* (Note: If you would like some more info about why the Green Party is opposing Prop. 14, please see the state party website, at: http://cagreens.org/erwg/Prop14/ and/or www.StopTopTwo.org <http://www.stoptoptwo.org/> ). Fortunately, GreenChange.org <http://greenchange.org/> has created a wonderful webpage, at: http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/o/1488/t/338/letter/?letter_KEY=632 ) -- *this webpage makes it extremely easy for you to compose a letter to the editor* opposing Prop. 14! You first enter your zip code, and you then choose a nearby newspaper where you'd like to send your letter to. Then you "point and click" on sentences or paragraphs to compose your letter, and you then fill in your name and address (for the newspaper to receive that info), and then you send your letter off. You can actually compose a letter in just 5 minutes using this webpage! So, *PLEASE take 5 minutes within the next couple of days to send in a letter!* (And of course, if you have additional time during the coming week, please send in 2, 4, or more letters -- in fact, once you get used to it, I think that it's really quite fun to use!). So SERIOUSLY EVERYONE, we genuinely need for ALL GREENS to help us send in LOTS of letters! (Again, the webpage is at: http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/o/1488/t/338/letter/?letter_KEY=632 -- *if possible, please check it out now!*). The future of the Green Party is literally at stake! Thank you very much!, Kendra Gonzales Campaigns and Candidates Working Group co-coordinator Green Party of California
