    For people who get up really early on Sunday morning, ABC News
will have a live Q&A with Jill Stein on Facebook, at 7 AM on Sunday
the 21st, at facebook.com/ThisWeekABC

    We've received a number of requests for Stein signs and buttons.
We don't have official signs yet, but will announce it here when we
do.  We have Stein buttons that we made at all our events (below).

    If you want to help the Green Party build locally, Francisco
Herrera is running for Supervisor in District 11.  Find out more about
his campaign, here: http://www.francisco4supe.org/

    We are planning a large rally to support all our candidates, to be
held in mid-September.  Francisco is also looking for more people to
walk precincts and to phone bank.  If you can help organize, walk, or
call people, email us at cc at sfgreens.org.

    We've also sent out endorsement questionnaires to all candidates
for Supervisor, School Board, College Board, and BART Board.  If you
support a candidate for those offices and want them to receive the
Green endorsement, please contact them to ask them to return their
questionnaire by Aug 31.  We will post questionnaires on our website
and continue making enorsements next week and at a candidate forum on
September 6 (see below).  All our meetings are open to the public, and
new members are welcome!
