Portrero Hill Democratic Club - Monthly Meeting and Sign-Making
Tues June 3: Sign-making for No Kings!
Tuesday, June 3rd @ 7:00pm, Potrero Hill Neighborhood House, 953 De Haro
The No Kings National Day of Defiance: a peaceful protest everywhere except Washington, DC
Our June meeting will be a little different. And a little messier! As we create our messages of defiance, Liliana Soroceanu from the SF chapter of Indivisible, organizer of the protests, will join us for a little background and cheerleading. For more sample signs, click here.
On June 14, Flag Day, the U.S. Army has planned a massive parade for its 250th anniversary, with tanks, soldiers and armored vehicles expected to roar through the streets of Washington, D.C. That day is also tthe birthday of a would-be king who claims the entire spectacle as a birthday party for himself: a vehicle for self-aggrandizement. Funded, of course by millions of taxpayer dollars
We say no. The crowds of protesters have to be big, really big, to take the world’s attention away from this pathetic “birthday party” and focus it on the power of the people who reject corrupt, authoritarian rule. We want to grab the story, make sure the action happens everywhere else but DC.
If you have not yet joined a recent protest march or rally, or you feel this isn’t really your thing (or maybe you’ve been there, done that in the past), this is the one to show up for. You don’t have to make up your mind yet. But do come and help make some signs at the Neighborhood House!
→Art supplies. If you have any cardboard (such as poster board or a cut-up corrugated box), markers or paint & brushes, by all means bring whatever – but it’s not necessary.

ENDC - SFUSD: The Cost of Avoiding School Closures
SFUSD faces a major budget deficit caused by declining enrollment, reduced state funding, and rising expenses. Unless the budget is balanced, San Francisco faces the possibility of school closures and State takeover of its education system.
In the prior year, SFUSD released a list of 13 schools facing possible closure. This year, the San Francisco Chronicle reports that SFUSD may be able to balance the budget and eliminate a $114 million deficit through staff cuts, a new payroll system, and a reorganized central office.
This panel will discuss the plan currently in place to stabilize SFUSD's finances while ensuring students' equitable access to educational resources and opportunities.
Panelists will be:
Superintendent, Dr. Maria Su
BOE President Phil Kim
San Francisco Parent Coalition Representative Stephanie Falkenstein
BOE Student Delegate Yzabel Lam
The moderator will be ENDC Board Member Rupali Singhal
Thank you to our partners, North Beach Neighbors, South Beach | Rincon | Mission Bay Neighborhood Association, and the African American Arts and Culture District.

Transit in Trouble: No Fooling!
A great city must have great public transit. But San Francisco, despite calling itself a “transit first” city, finds its public transit in a sort of budgetary doom loop: service cuts which mean decreased ridership which means less money which means more cuts… Solutions have been proposed at the city, regional, and state levels (new federal money is of course off the table for now).
