Photos from Mercury Lounge Event
Last night’s Citizen Hope event at Mercury Lounge was an incredible success! See photos on Facebook. The event was the effort of Matt Haney and other Citizen Hopers. And special thanks to Rich Pio Roda and all the staff at Mercury Lounge!
An incredible number of elected officials attended, including: District Attorney Kamala Harris, San Francisco Assessor Phil Ting, Board of Supervisors President David Chiu, Supervisor Chris Daly, Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi, Board of Education Commissioner Hydra Mendoza, City College Trustee John Rizzo and City College Trustee Steve Ngo.
And we had another very special guest last night — Tony West, appointed by President Obama to be assistant attorney general for the civil division of the Department of Justice. Tony is Citizen Hope co-founder Meena Harris’ dad.
Jan. 28 Citizen Hope Mixer with Local Electeds
As President Barack Obama assumes office, we hope to build on the renewed spirit of cooperation and community building from the ground up. With this in mind, Citizen Hope is hosting a mixer with your local elected officials in San Francisco.
It’s on Wed., Jan. 28, from 6 p.m. at Mercury Lounge, 1582 Folsom St., San Francisco. Facebook link here.
From advancing educational opportunity to ensuring vibrant and healthy neighborhoods, our elected leaders will need to hear from you so that we can create the change we need here in San Francisco and around the Bay Area.
You don’t need to be a political junkie to come to this event. We all should know who are elected leaders are, and they should know we are as well. All are welcome.
