DESCRIPTION:Urgent Action: Save SCOTUS, No Trump Pick! Senator Office Visit in San 
 Francisco\n\nWhen:  Wednesday, July 11, 3:00 PM\n\nWhere:  Office of 
 Senator Harris, 333 Bush Street, Suite 3325, San Francisco, CA 
 94104\n\nhttp://act.indivisible.org/event/save-scotus-actions/14622/signup/?source=moveon&s=0&issue-filter=Save%20SCOTUS\n\nTrump 
 has nominated Brett Kavanaugh as the next Supreme Court justice.\n\nWe're 
 showing up at Senate District Offices to demand our senators protect our 
 democracy— our choice, our affordable health care, our rights— and 
 #SaveSCOTUS.\n\nABOUT STAND UP SAN FRNACISCO'S VALUES: \n\nModel our 
 Values\nBe an example of the values we advocate for. As members of Stand Up 
 SF, we value inclusion, respect, and fairness. We welcome anyone who shares 
 these values and our goal of resisting the Trump agenda. We want the 
 make-up of our group to reflect the demographics of our proud city. We 
 welcome and embrace diversity – in age, race, sexual orientation, gender 
 identity, religion, and any of the many other joyful ways we can be 
 different from each other. Everyone in the Stand Up SF community should be 
 made to feel welcome, all the time.\n\nTreat others with respect, even when 
 you don’t agree with them. \nWe each bring our own life experiences to 
 Stand Up SF. We expect members will have different viewpoints, and we 
 believe this is a good thing. This diversity gives us a broader perspective 
 and strengthens us as a whole. Listen, hear, and respect each others’ 
 viewpoints, even when you don’t agree with them. Listen with respect, 
 speak with respect.\n\nAssume good intentions. \nRemember that we’re all 
 here with the same goals. Assume that everyone who is taking part in our 
 community is here to help the resistance. We’re all on the same 
 side.\n\nCritique actions, not persons. \nWhen you have a view about what 
 should be done that is different than someone else’s, we encourage you to 
 express your position and advocate for it. You may even want to express 
 your concerns about the “competing” position. But you should never 
 attack the person promoting the other position (or any person!). Your 
 statements should be about the merits of the action, not the “merits” 
 of a person. A community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is 
 not a productive one. In our community, negative comments about a person 
 – personal attacks – will not be tolerated.\n\nBe courteous to our 
 Members of Congress and their staff. \nAt Stand Up SF, we meet with our 
 Members of Congress (MoCs) and their staff on a regular basis, and place 
 many calls into their offices. Our overarching goal is to have our MoCs act 
 on our requests. In order to achieve this, we must be courteous, so we are 
 heard. We want to be courteous in every interaction with our MoCs and their 
 staff. We can be firm and assertive, providing arguments that push back on 
 responses we don’t like, while still being courteous.\n\nRespect the 
 privacy needs of fellow members.\n Taking a political stand can involve 
 risks. We want everyone to be able to participate to their level of 
 comfort. Please do not photograph any Stand Up SF members without first 
 getting their permission. When you post a photograph on social media, do 
 not tag by name members who appear in that photograph. Please do not share 
 anyone’s contact information without their consent.\n\nBe 
 patient. \nStand Up SF is built on volunteer time, and there is a lot to 
 do. If you have a question or suggestion, it may not receive an immediate 
 response. Be patient. An occasional reminder is welcome, but sending 
 several reminders is not a good display of patience.\n\nAccept that your 
 most passionate issue is one of many. \nWe all feel overwhelmed by the 
 flood of bad news that is the new normal. We all want to make a difference. 
 If you have an issue that you feel particularly passionate about, please 
 remember that it lives among a sea of other issues, some of which other 
 members feel especially passionate about. If you’ve taken a good amount 
 of air time for your issue, please step aside and let others have the floor 
 for other issues.\n\nShare the air. \nIf you find yourself talking a lot at 
 a Stand Up SF event, try letting others speak. Be aware of positional power 
 and privilege that might be influencing how much and how often you are 
 speaking. Positional power applies to those with leadership roles in Stand 
 Up SF. Privilege (white privilege, male privilege, class privilege, etc.) 
 refers to advantages granted only to specific groups of people. Be aware of 
 your positional power and/or privilege. Make space for 
 others.\n\nParticipate. \nStand Up San Francisco is YOUR organization. As a 
 member, you play a vital role in shaping our group’s goals and structure. 
 We welcome your suggestions and ideas at any time at info@standupsf.net or 
 at any general meeting. If you want us to move in a new direction or take 
 on a new topic, we encourage you to win other members of the group to your 
 idea, and bring us a proposal. We encourage you to take on a role in our 
 group. We value your participation, and we can’t do it without you!\n\nNo 
 Harassment\nWe do not tolerate harassment in any form, whether the behavior 
 is targeted at fellow Stand Up SF members or at others in our larger 
 community. Our definition of harassment may not necessarily align with 
 legal definitions of harassment. In our view, harassment includes: Verbal 
 comments or displayed images that harmfully reinforce structures of 
 oppression (related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual 
 orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, 
 religion, geographic origin, or class); deliberate intimidation; stalking; 
 body policing (including gender policing in all bathrooms); unwelcome 
 photography or recording; sustained disruption of talks or other events; 
 inappropriate physical contact; and unwelcome sexual attention.\n
