Dear Greens,

    Happy Pride!  This year's celebration is especially meaningful
following this morning's Supreme Court ruling, which wouldn't have
happened without the hard work of activists nationwide.  We hope to
see many of you this weekend at our booth.

    At our meeting last Wednesday, we endorsed Ross Mirkarimi for
re-election as Sheriff, and also endorsed gathering signatures on two
ballot initiative petitions:
    * Regulate Airbnb and other short term rental companies.
    * Establish a moratorium on building luxury housing in the Mission.

    However, please don't sign PG&E's deceptive ballot initiative
petitions that redefine "clean energy" to exclude CleanPowerSF.

EVENT: Pride!
WHEN: Jun 27-28
WHERE: Civic Center, booth D3 (Grove near Larkin)

We'll have a booth both days at the Pride Celebration! We still need
volunteers to staff the booth in order to help register new Greens and
let people know about Francisco Herrera's Mayoral campaign!  We'll also
be gathering signatures for two ballot initiatives:  to regulate
Airbnb and other short term rental companies, and to establish a
moratorium on building luxury housing in the Mission.  If you
can help, please email cc at sfgreens.org.  We have a slightly better
booth location this year, on Grove Street near Larkin.

On Sunday, June 28th, Greens will join Courage To Resist and the
Chelsea Manning Support Network (Free whistleblower PVT Chelsea
Manning) in the San Francisco Pride Parade!

You're invited to march for our heroic WikiLeaks whistle-blower
Chelsea Manning and show your support for Chelsea, whistle-blowers,
and government transparency.

* Help lead the Chelsea Manning parade contingent by holding our lead banner!
* Wave from the motorized cable car! 
* Cheer on our Flash Mob Dancers!
* Help staff the Chelsea Manning booth at the TransMarch

In 2013, the Chelsea Manning contingent was awarded the highest honor,
"The Absolutely Fabulous Overall Contingent." That contingent was the
largest non-corporate group with well over 1,000 people! And last
year, Chelsea Manning was honored as an official Parade Grand Marshal!
With Chelsea's legal appeals beginning soon, she needs your support
more than ever!

Organized by the Chelsea Manning Support Network and Courage to
Resist, and endorsed by the SF Green Party.

EVENT: US Social Forum and Green Party of California Plenary

WHERE: San Jose

Forum in San Jose, which also coincides with the Green Party of California's
plenary.  For more info, see http://www.ussfsanjose.com/
