Dear Greens,

    After 2020, why be optimistic about 2021?  Barry Hermanson wrote
this article after learning about the passing of fellow SF Green, Don
Bechler:

    As Barry points out in the article, we can win better health care
for everyone in California.  We expect that 2021 will be a great year
for organizing!

    Our plans for a socially distanced, outdoor holiday gathering in
mid-December were put on hold because of the latest shelter in place
order, which bans outdoor gatherings, even with social distancing.
However, we plan to reschedule this when it's legal again.  We'll
discuss the results of the election and ideas for organizing during
the pandemic, and also celebrate our local victories in SF elections.

    We wish all of you a great holiday season!

What:  SF Green Party Organizing
When:  All the time
Where:  Online

Until the pandemic is under control, we will not be holding in-person
meetings.  Government will need to implement a widespread testing and
contact tracing program in order to safely open things up.

Unfortunately, a number of our active members do not have reliable
internet access (especially with our public libraries closed), so
holding general monthly meetings over Zoom is not an option.  Instead,
we have an email list for discussions between active members, and our
county council (CC) meets by Zoom on the 3rd Wednesdays of every
month.

If you'd like to join our conversation online, or our CC meetings,
please email cc at sfgreens.org with your name and contact info, and also
please remind us if you've been to a meeting before.  If you are
unable to join us but still want to follow what's going on, you can
call Barry Hermanson at 415-255-9494.
