San Francisco Green Party

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!

Our final endorsement meeting for the November election will be on August 28, the same night as our regular members' meeting.  We'll interview candidates for School Board, College Board, BART, and DA between 6:30-8:30 pm, and then try to reach consensus on endorsements between 8:30-9:30.

Our endorsement meeting will be at our office, 2973 16th St, #300, SF - note that this is across the street from our old office in the Redstone Building.  The event is open to the public and all are invited!

In order to spend more time with candidates our members want to speak with, we will only interview candidates who at least 2 active members want to invite.  However, all candidates are welcome to come and listen.

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