San Francisco Green Party

The SF Green Party will host a candidate forum this Tuesday, 9/6, from 6-9 pm--come ask questions to candidates in local races.  Our forum and endorsement meeting will take place in the Mojo Theater, on the 2nd floor of the Redstone Building, located at 2940 16th Street (between Mission and South Van Ness, 1 block from 16th St BART).  The event is open to the public and all are invited!

Please read candidates' answers to our questionnaires in advance, so we don't ask them questions they've already answered on the record

Supervisorial candidates (D1): Sandra Lee Fewer, Jason Jungreis, Jonathan Lyens

Supervisorial candidates (D3): Tim E. Donnelly

Supervisorial candidates (D5): Dean Preston

Supervisorial candidates (D7): Norman Yee

Note that we do not currently have questionnaires for the other contests; all candidates who our active members expressed potential interest in endorsing were invited.

Instead of our monthly meeting, please join us at our Green Holiday Party!  Saturday, December 13, 6-10 pm at the Alley Cat Gallery (same place as the bookstore), 3036 24th St near Treat, San Francisco.  Close to the 24th St BART station, and wheelchair accessible.

All ages welcome!  Everybody is invited, including people who are not SF Green Party members.  We will provide tamales and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.  You are free to bring additional food or drinks to share.  The event is free, but donations are also welcome.

This month, we're moving our meeting from the 4th Wednesday to the 5th (April 29, from 7-9 pm), in order to schedule a discussion of the upcoming Mayoral campaign.  What would the Green Party like to accomplish in this election, and what lessons can we learn from previous Green campaigns for Mayor?  We'll have a panel discussion and Q&A with:

• Francisco Herrera, Green Party member, and current candidate for Mayor

• Terry Joan Baum, Green candidate for Mayor in 2011 (and a previous Green congressional candidate)

• Barry Hermanson, Green candidate for a number of previous campaigns, including Congress

The meeting will be held at our new office space in the Redstone Building: 2940 16th Street.

Room change update:  we'll meet in the Mojo Theatre space on the 2nd floor (room 217) rather than the 3rd floor.

The following candidates have returned questionnaires, and have been invited to speak and answer questions on Wednesday evening, August 27, from 6-9 pm.  Our candidate forum and endorsement meeting will take place in room 302 of the Redstone Building, located at 2940 16th Street (between Mission and South Van Ness, 1 block from 16th St BART).  Everybody is welcome to the forum, and active Greens are invited to stay until 10 to help us make endorsement decisions.
