Tuesday, August 6th, beginning at 6:30pm on zoom, board members will give brief overviews of all ten California propositions, plus a regional one. We will also hear from candidates for District Attorney, Sheriff, BART Board District 9, State Senate, State Assembly, and City Attorney (the last three are running for election unopposed). Join us!
This is the first in a series of three; the next two endorsement meetings will be in-person at Potrero Hill Neighborhood House, Sept 3rd and 17th.
Join your neighbors for a series of Q&A forums to get to know the candidates and share what’s top of mind for Dogpatch & Potrero Hill residents. All forums begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Dogpatch Hub, 1278 Minnesota Street @ 24th Doors open at 6, refreshments served, no candidate endorsements associated with these events (but Potrero Hill Democratic Club will endorse, see below). Organized by neighbors Jen Betti, Kopal Maheshwari, Matt Nessier & Joan Meyer. To guarantee your seat, RSVP for each forum individually: Ahsha Safaí Wed 8/7; Mark Farrell Fri 8/9; Daniel Lurie Tues 8/13; Aaron Peskin Tues 8/20; London Breed Thurs 8/29.
PHDC has created a questionnaire which we asked each of the 5 candidates to complete; you can find a link to the questionnaires we received here. Due to circumstances beyond our control, PHDC will not host a mayoral candidate debate this year, but club members will vote to endorse in this race. So we want our members to be as informed as possible.
Our July monthly meeting will occur at yhe opening day of San Francisco Mime Troupe‘s 2024 show, “American Dreams,” kicking off its summer season in the parks.

The ComMUNIty Transit Act is a community-led ballot initiative to increase funding for Muni with revenue from a new business tax on ride-hail companies. SF Transit Riders will tell you all about it and answer your questions. Signature-gathering to qualify it for the November ballot is well underway, and you will be invited to join the effort.
Officer elections. Nominations have been made and are still open for all positions on the Executive Committee. Members will vote at the start of the meeting.
Hear from Flip the Vote, strategically working towards winning Democratic control of all three branches of the federal government by directly supporting carefully-researched, trusted partner groups in key swing states. And PHDC members representing SF Climate Emergency Coalition and Citizens’ Climate Lobby SF chapter will describe the critical work being done to promote climate action at the local level and beyond. We will continue to nominate officers (voting at June 4th meeting) and highlight upcoming endorsement events.

Let’s really bring it back this time.
A non-election year does not mean there’s nothing to talk, learn and/or get excited about in the world of politics. People who have been elected need to be urged to do the right thing. What do YOU care most about? Come to the library and we’ll talk!

 It’s a party! On the night that Senator Raphael Warnock’s reelection will (we hope we hope) strengthen Democrats’ hold on the Senate, join us at HiDive, Pier 28 on The Embarcadero. Cosponsored by South Beach District 6 Democratic Club and PHDC. We will gather in the HiDive’s tent outside, to enjoy appetizers and a no-host bar. So come and meet your neighbors, plus recently-reelected and -elected District 10 Supervisor Shamann Walton and District 6 Supervisor Matt Dorsey, who will be there unless their Board meeting runs overtime. Also: a brief presentation from the Embarcadero Navigation Center. The Center’s clients always need personal items including socks and small shampoos& other toiletries. If you want to help, you can either bring something for the collection box, or buy a $5 raffle ticket in support (for a chance to win a baseball autographed by Giants pitcher Logan Webb).  |
Please join us Monday, October 3, 6:30 – 7:30pm on Zoom. This is our typical (well, except that it’s virtual) month-before-the-election membership meeting, when we invite endorsed candidates and ballot measures for members and friends to have another look and learn more about the campaigns. Here’s the Zoom link.
