Thank you to everyone who attended our Club's December General Meeting!
The Membership voted to officially endorse Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock for their respective U.S. Senate Seats in Georgia.

This is how we sing Christmas carols, standing alongside the California Nurses Association as they fight for their rights as they work on the frontlines of this pandemic.
Besides our endorsements, the Membership voted to pass the following motions:
1) To reiterate our opposition to the installation of surveillance cameras in the Castro. (Read more about it in the BAR.)
2) To explicitly oppose the use of child slave labor in the harvesting of chocolate products by Mars and Nestle. (Please sign this petition.)
3) To support the inclusion of dedicated senior housing at the development at 730 Stanyan Street.
4) To oppose any expedited waivers that force nurses to be assigned more patients per shift, threatening their labor rights and the quality of care for patients. (Read more about it here.)
5) To allow for us to automatically endorse any ADEM candidates who came in 8th or lower if candidates our Club endorsed drop out. (This point is moot because only the endorsed candidates listed above passed our endorsement threshold.)
Tonight, let's give 2020 a big, socially-distanced French kiss goodbye!
