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!

Questionnaires posted for Aug 26 candidate forum
| | Hits: 4848
Because of COVID, and the fact that many of our members don't have reliable internet access, we've changed our endorsement process this year. We'll schedule a 10-minute Zoom interview with each candidate on Wednesday, August 26, preferably between 7 and 9 pm. However, rather than making the decision that night as we usually do, we'll record the interviews and post them on our Youtube channel for our members who may be able to watch it later. We'll make our decisions online by early September.
All SF Green Party members are invited to ask questions at the forum. Please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for login information.
