Up With Peoples'
Has all our elections coverage on the 'Fist gotten your progressive fire up? Do you want to meet Chris Daly and (possibly) Matt Gonzalez? Do you maybe just want to hear some jazz on a Saturday afternoon? Well, grab your Noam Chomsky book and head on out to St. Mary's Cathedral (1111 Gough at Geary) this Saturday, Sept. 30 for an all-day convention of the SF Peoples' Organization (9 a.m. - 5 p.m.).
There'll be speakers, lunch, live jazz, and breakout discussion groups on anti-gentrification, violence prevention, and elections/campaigns. Look how much fun they had last year! $7 if you buy tickets in advance, and $10 at the door
Even if you're not interested in conventioneering, the SFPO is also sponsoring a free candidates' forum for all the supervisorial elections in the afternoon. The format is primarily Q&A from the audience, so go and see if you can make Chris Daly blow his stack!

It seems that the only thing that SFPO is good at is throwing parties and having silent auctions so they can raise money to throw more parties. I've yet to see them accomplish much of anything.
We've got the full lineup of the candidates coming to the free forum on Saturday:
Chris Daly
Vilma Guinto Peoro
Jaynry Mak
Alix Rosenthal
Sophie Maxwell
