Thank you, Richard. And welcome back aboard as our secretary!

For folks who would like to read more about the local San Francisco measures on the upcoming March 5 election ballot, you can do so here – Qualified measures | San Francisco

Our recommendations on these measures are not set in stone (our next meeting on February 10 will offer an opportunity to revisit them if anyone is so inclined), and we also intend to write up some more detailed thoughts about the positions we’ve taken, so any input is welcome.

As always, attending LPSF meetings at the main library (3rd floor Paley community meeting room) is encouraged, so that we can enjoy the conviviality of seeing each other’s lovely faces in person, but if you’re not able to appear in the flesh, you’re also welcome to join us remotely using this link – Jitsi Meet.

Love & Liberty,
