Dear Greens,

    We have started making endorsements for the June 7 ballot, and
will finish next Wednesday at our monthly meeting.  Agenda and details
below.

    One our top priorities is NO on H - keeping Chesa Boudin in
office.  We'll be announcing campaign rallies and mobilizations in our
newsletter.  In the meantime, you can find out about volunteer
opportunities by calling Sabrina on the anti-recall team at (415)
316-5861.

    We are also participating in two Earth Day events this Friday and
Saturday.  Laura Wells, our candidate for Controller, will be speaking
at the event in the Mission on Saturday.  See details below.

What:  Youth Climate Strike on People's Earth Day
Where:  Civic Center
When:  Friday, April 22, 10 am

Greens have endorsed the Youth Climate Strika and will be doing
outreach this Friday.  Barry Hermanson wrote:

  This Earth Day, we call on those in the climate justice movement to
  fight with us to demand the cleanup of radioactive and toxic waste
  from our city.  We call on those that recognize that at the root of
  the issues we face as low-income, Black, Brown, Indigenous and
  LGBTQ-plus people is a system profiting off of our struggles.

  We call on San Francisco to acknowledge our plight with climate
  injustice through actions.  This Earth Day, join us at 10 a.m. at
  the Civic Center BART Station to demand environmental and climate
  justice.

What:  Earth Day
Where:  Valencia St between 19th and 21st St
When:  Sat, April 23, 11 am - 8 pm.

SF's official Earth Day event will be a street festival in the
Mission, on Valencia St between 19th and 21st from 11 am - 8 pm on
April 23 with live music, a vegan chef showcase, kids activities and
dynamic speakers.

Laura Wells, our candidate for State Controller this year, will be
speaking at around 1 pm.

Please join us at a table at the event to help do voter outreach,

be collecting signatures for initiatives we hope to put on the
November ballot, such as the vacant homes tax and the ban on
herbicides.
