DESCRIPTION:Without a Green to challenge the corporate Democratic establishment running 
 San Francisco, the election could have been a disaster. But thanks to an 
 issues-oriented campaign that relied on a rare coalition of 
 environmentalists and labor, voters made a profound statement choosing 
 transit over traffic, even when the “transit” choice was complicated 
 and not ideal, and the “traffic” choice was a simple appeal to San 
 Franciscans’ frustrations with parking problems. \n \nWhat happened? And 
 what’s next? The panel will discuss the implications of the approval of 
 Proposition A, with its substantial transfer of authority to the unelected 
 Municipal Transportation Agency, as well as the resounding defeat of 
 Proposition H, the parking measure, and the momentum that gives us for 
 stronger measures to reduce car subsidies. Will the Green Party work to 
 amend Prop A in another transit reform measure to better adhere to our 
 values? What is our role in the efforts to keep the coalition of labor and 
 environmentalists together?\n\nSponsored by the San Francisco Green 
 Party.\n\nThe all Green Party panel will include the following:\nMarc 
 Salomon, electoral analyst, County Council member, SF Green Party\nDave 
 Snyder, Transportation Policy Director of SPUR and Livable City Board 
 member\nSue Vaughan, County Council member, SF Green Party\nSarah "Fred" 
 Sherburn-Zimmer, labor organizer\nJohn Rizzo, College Board member and 
 Sierra Club leader \n
