People’s Assemblies are an Extinction Rebellion Demand because the people can’t leave it up to a failed Congress to solve our climate crisis and care for the people. We gather at Pelosi’s to voice our concerns to the Representative for San Francisco because she’s not available for meetings, phone calls, or any communication. Do you want her to cut the Pentagon budget? Declare a climate emergency? Pass Medicare for All? Stop funding the Saudi-led war on Yemen? Lift economic sanctions on Cuba? End drone warfare? Free Julian Assange? Stop threatening war with China? Create affordable housing? What’s on YOUR mind? Help create a People’s Assembly letter to her that we’ll share with her, the SF Chronicle, 48 Hills, and elsewhere.  Muni #24 Divisadero to Jackson, walk 2 blks to Broadway. Street parking. Carpools and childcare by RSVP: 510-365-1500

Simple design (see photo attached). RSVP by phone or text to Hank (415-309-3505) or Cynthia (510-365-1500) so we can have enough fabric and wreath supplies for everyone.

From our National Site

The national CodePink organization organizes for justice for Iraqis and to hold war criminals accountable. CodePink actively opposes the U.S. war in Afghanistan, torture, the detention center at Guantanamo, weaponized and spy drones, the prosecution of whistleblowers, U.S. support for the Israeli occupation of Palestine and repressive regimes.

Rooted in a network of local organizers, CodePink's tactics include satire, street theatre, creative visuals, civil resistance, and directly challenging powerful decision-makers in government and corporations. And, of course, wearing pink!
