[SFGP] SF Green Party Weekly Newsletter

[Announcement list for SF Green Party, updated weekly]

Wednesday, June 3


Many thanks to everyone who came out to our victory party last week, despite
competing with important widespread street protests against the
disappointing Prop 8 ruling upholding discrimination, we had a good crowd
and collected a number of signatures for the ballot measure aimed at
overturning Prop 8 in 2010.  We had a lot of fun and even raised enough
money to hold on to the office for another month.  Special thanks to
everyone who gave what they could!  We are still on the brink of having to
let it go.  If you would like to help us out of our dire financial
situation, it's never too late to donate, and we especially need recurring
monthly donations (sustainers) so that we can spend less time fundraising
and more time organizing and focusing on things like collecting signatures
to overturn Prop 8 and electing progressives to office:

Lily (Loren Horsley) is reserved and awkward. Jarrod (Jemaine Clement) is an

challenges. Academy Award-nominated director Taika Cohen also penned this
dark romantic comedy, a 2007 Sundance Film Festival entry.
