New Members Meeting March 26

Published Date | Print | Email | Hits: 526

flyer for new members, text below

 

If you are upset at the Democrats for retreating and backpedaling, and if you are wanting to protect yourself from the far reaching effects of conservative policy, this is a platform for those who do wish to STAND UP.

 

Progressive ideals are not radical and in fact have been the backbone of an aspiring San Francisco society.

 

Union Jobs, Universal Healthcare, Free Childcare & Public Schools, Well Funded Public Transit, Safe Streets, Affordable Housing, and Public Utilities are good policy - they just need protection and to be brought into the new age.

 

With a new generation of workers in the Green Party, we wish to infuse modernization and a strong, united working class back into decision making.

 

San Francisco needs builders. Doers. Thinkers. People like you.

 

This isn’t just a meeting—it’s an invitation. An opportunity to bring your skills, passions, and ideas into a community of people who want to uplift this city and each other. You don’t need to be an activist. You don’t need political experience. You just need that feeling—that drive—to contribute, to create, to make things better.

 

San Francisco has given us all so much. Now, it’s our turn to give back.

 

We want to build a community of action—where projects, solutions, and skillsharing allow us to step up, contribute, and lead.

 

Maybe you’re a builder, an artist, a strategist. Maybe you work in tech, in government, in food service, in labor, or in education. Whatever your background, there is a role for you to contribute and volunteer.

 

Join us. Bring your ideas. Find your role. You’ll leave this meeting inspired, energized, and ready to make an impact.

Holiday Party on November 20

Published Date | Print | Email | Hits: 960

 

Please join us at Reconnect & Reflect: A 2024 Election Debrief Party!

 

We invite you to reconnect with the local Green Party and meet new members who share a vision for positive change in our community. This is more than a party—it’s a space for exchanging ideas, building connections, and creating a supportive network where talents and expertise are valued. Whether you're passionate about politics, business, community advocacy, or mentorship, this is a chance to collaborate, elevate one another, strategize, and grow as local leaders.

 

Feel free to bring any snacks or food to share—sealed wine bottles are especially welcome! We'll also be sharing themes and conversation starters during cocktail hour to spark ideas and connections.

 

Our goal? To empower more Green Party members to step up as voices of inspiration and action. Let’s come together to strengthen our local movement, creating a foundation that goes beyond politics and toward a truly holistic community vision.

 

Feel free to invite a friend who you believe could be an asset to our Green movement and who’d appreciate being introduced to our collective network. Let’s think together about how we can bring fresh intelligence and expertise into our community.

 

  • Election Insights & Open Dialogue
  • Free Food & Drinks (Old Jerusalem & Wine)
  • Bring a Friend!

 

Come ready to share, listen, and start building together!
