Dear Greens,

    If you're in the South Bay, please join the Santa Clara Greens
tonight at their Meet and Greet social; our congressional candidate
Barry Hermanson will be there!

    Our own monthly meeting will be next Wednesday.  The agenda is
below; come get involved with us!  Since Senate Democrats just joined
Republicans in boosting the military budget by $80 Billion, we will be
campaigning to show the public that Greens represent the only viable
Peace party.

    And for those interesting in joining a larger Green gathering, the
olo County Green Party would like to invite you to attend a Regional
Gathering in Davis, CA (Yolo County) on Saturday, September 23rd.
See below for details.

    Finally, thanks to all who are fighting back against giving SF Police
Tasers:

What: Yolo County Green Party Regional Gathering
Where: 2222 Muir Woods Place [Muir Commons], Davis CA 95616
When: Sat, Sep 23, all day

The Yolo County Green Party would like to invite you to attend a Regional
Gathering in Davis, CA (Yolo County) on Saturday, September 23rd, 2017.

At this informal gathering, we hope all Central Region Greens (and other
interested CA Greens) can come together to meet, share ideas, and work
toward rebuilding the Green Party in the Central Region.  We hope this
Gathering will facilitate a serious discussion about how to circumvent and
break through the many obstacles the current GPCA party structure places in
front of real grassroots party-building and organizing.  We would like to
explore radical, grassroots, small-d democratic alternatives that focus on
strategies for organizing and building the Green Party in its rural
context.  This will include an assessment of internal obstacles to
effective organization and an exploration of alternative structural models.
