The SF Green Party County Council is our local leadership body

item on the agenda, please contact us at cc at sfgreens.org.  The CC has
moved its in-person meetings to the 2nd Wednesdays of each month, two
weeks prior to our monthly meetings.  Monthly meetings (like the
one above) will still be held on the 4th Wednesday of every month,
although we usually reschedule them in November and December due to
holidays.
