Dear Greens,

     We're meeting this Wednesday evening to try to make sense of a
crowded November ballot, and to consider endorsements on at least 15
propositions that are currently pending.  See below for logistics and
links to the text of all the ballot initiatives.  Candidate
endorsements will take place in August, after we send our
questionnaires to all candidates for local office.

     And with the recent Israeli attacks on the people of Gaza, we
want to ask people to join us in supporting the Boycott, Divestment
and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which we think will be the only
effective means to convince Israel to end its occupation of Palestine.
There are numerous protests happening around the Bay Area, which we
post in the Events section of our website as we find out about them.
Here is a statement we released four years ago explaining our
position, and the recent attacks have unfortunately proven our point:
