Membership
Please contact sf99perfcent (at) gmail (dot) com for more information about weekly meetings and membership.
Active members communicate internally using a Yahoo! Groups list-serv. Get involved by participating in our meetings and joining a committee to become a part of our list-serv community.
Committees
Members may wish to join the six committees organized as listed below. Committees may meet separately to offer new proposals for activities which the entire coalition will vote on, promote and support. The list of committees is:
Political Action Committee
- Occupy San Francisco: Presence/Scheduling & Material Aid
- Coalition Building – Outreach
- Communication Organization
- Public Relations/Media
- Finance Committee
Proposal Process
The proposal process for activity suggestions to be presented to the membership is: Contact your committee members thru Yahoo Groups and request an idea be discussed and formulated with other committee members at a pre-meeting gathering or through emails ONLY between committee members before presenting to the general coalition meeting. This will expedite ideas and proposals. The proposal write should contain:
- Name of proposal
- BRIEF description within purpose/goals statement
- Who will participate
- Need and practicality
- Timeline and Result anticipated
Activities to Date
To date, activities have included providing material aid to the Occupy San Francisco encampments proposed by the Finance and the Occupy San Francisco Presence committees, direct peaceful protest actions, and public forums and events. The Political Action Committee works to connect us to numerous scheduled actions in the Bay Area, which have been well attended by our members and strengthened our relationships with other Bay Area groups. The Communication internal group has been busy working on this website and other internal organizing necessary for a new group such as ours. The Public Relations/Media Committee works to promote our events, such as the Which Way Forward for Progressive Change forum and Spaghetti Dinner for the 99% events earlier this year.
Hello –
I’m wondering what Bay Area progressive groups are a part of your coalition? I hadn’t heard of you before……….and I’m on a million group emails. Thanks!
Members of the SF 99% coalition also belong to other organizations. The duty of members is to be a conduit between the Coalition and their other groups to keep everyone informed as to what is going on so that we can all work together to build a true democracy that responds to the voice of the people in the bay area. We work also with national groups that share our values. We have members in Single Payer, Code Pink, Amnesty International, Older Women’s League, Gray Panthers, ANSWER, Green Party, Progressive Democrats, Justice Party, People of CA12 and Occupy San Francisco. This is not a complete list.
Thank you for putting together this program on February 15. I would like to videotape it with my camcorder if that would be okay with you. Please let me know. Thank you.

Hi Folks,
Just wondering if there’s a meeting tonight and if so what time? I belong to the Outreach Committee of Occupy SF and would like to come to one of your meetings to find out more about your group. I went to last week’s panel discussion and found it very interesting and inspiring – good job putting that together!
On you contact page your e-mail address begins “st” is that correct or should it be “sf” ?
Thanks very much.
Ciao,
