Dear Greens,

    At our meeting last month, we finished making endorsements on
all ballot measures, and we endorsed Joel Ventresca for Mayor!
All details of our endorsements to date, and the official argument
we submitted to the Department of Elections in opposition to Prop D,
are here on our website:
  http://sfgreenparty.org/endorsements/90-november-2019-endorsements

    We will finish making our endorsements for other contests this
Wednesday.  Please read the candidates' questionnaires linked below,
so we don't ask questions we've already asked.

    Other events, including an important "close the camps" rally
happening tomorrow, are detailed below.
