In November 2019, a few Grandmothers decided to start a circle

for members who lived in San Francisco. At the Fall convening,

the Circle was announced and the official cohort began. Soon

after, they took their first action together, car-pooling to the

East Bay for a public meeting in Pinole about dredging the Bay.

Six years later, the Circle has grown and become very active. As

Grandmothers, we see our Circle as a way to strengthen our

sense of community and support each other through these

challenging times..

• Many of us enjoy participating in non-violent direct actions for Climate Justice and a democratic society.

• The Bay View Hunter's Point Working Group grew out of the SFCircle and supporting the BVHP Community continues to be an important focus for many members.

• We also work on legislative issues, attending SF Supervisor and Commission meetings, meeting with individual supervisors, and advocating for local climate justice legislation when appropriate. Several of us are currently involved in the Make Polluters Pay Working Group.

• We try to incorporate self-education in our meetings whenever possible, deepening our understanding about how to build a sustainable and peaceful world.
