the freedom, success, health, and safety of life on this planet. We

Communication, Funding, Policy, Literacy, and Diversity.

What:  Green Party Monthly Meeting
Where:  Redstone Bldg (2940 16th Street, near South Van Ness) #301, SF
When:  Wed, April 26, 7-9 pm

We have confirmed two interesting speakers for our meeting:

Chris Jerdonek, SF Elections Commission President will update us on
the move to Open Source Voting in SF and take questions on that
project and on Elections related matters.  He's tentatively scheduled
to speak 7:30 pm.

Ben Grieff, Campaign Director of Evolve, will fill us in on Evolve's
grassroots efforts focusing on Prop 13 reform.  He'll arrive toward
the end of the first half of the meeting, and is tentatively scheduled
to speak at 8 pm.

We will also discuss organizing and voter outreach at other upcoming
marches and events taking place through May.

Every 4th Wednesday the SF Green Party meets to discuss issues of
concern, listen to interesting speakers, endorse events, plan outreach
and more!  Everyone welcome. To make a presentation or gain the SFGP
endorsement of events and issues, please contact our SFGP County
Council at: cc at sfgreens.org

What:  People's Climate Movement Bay Area
Where:  Lake Merritt Amphitheater, Oakland
When:  Sat, April 29, 11 am - 5 pm

Join us on April 29 as we come together to resist and take action for
our families, our communities and our planet today and for generations
to come.

Greens will join the People's Climate March around Lake Merritt;
look for Green Party flags.  Call Barry at 415-255-9494 if you're

*===========================*

What:  May Day
Where:  Various Locations in SF (see below)
When:  Mon, May 1, all day

May 1, also known as "May Day" or "International Workers Day," is
historically a day of global mass action and major immigrant rights
protests in the U.S.  The time has never been more relevant to return
to May Day's roots, and to launch a summer of resistance against this
dangerous right wing administration.

Organizers are planning for a Monday May 1 rally from 9 am to 10 am at
the ILWU Local 10 Hall 400 North Point, and then a march to Justin
Herman Plaza to join the 11am startup Rally for the main San Francisco
May Day march to Civic Center.

What:  Save the Date - Green Party Monthly Meeting
Where:  Redstone Bldg (2940 16th Street, near South Van Ness) #301, SF
When:  Wed, May 24, 7-9 pm

Save the Date!  We're planning to invite outside speakers to talk
about fake Taxi companies such as Uber and Lyft, and a possible
movement towards banning them from operating in SF.
