SUMMARY:Manny’s: Meet the Candidates for Lieutenant Governor: State Treasurer Fiona Ma CPA
DESCRIPTION:Join us in our series of town halls with the candidates for Lieutenant Governor of California! \nAs we approach the June primary\, learn about the leading Lieutenant Governor candidates by attending Manny’s series of town halls with the top three candidates and learn who might serve as the second-highest ranking elected official in California\, holding significant power over education\, housing\, and economic policy. Moderated by Nancy Tung\, Chair of the SF Democratic Party! \nNext up is CA State Treasurer Fiona Ma CPA\, focused on making California affordable again while maintaining a commitment to freedom\, a healthy climate and quality education. \n_________________________________ \nFiona Ma is running to be California’s next Lieutenant Governor. \nShe was first elected on November 6\, 2018 with more votes than any other candidate for treasurer in the state’s history and re-elected to her second term in 2022. She is the first woman of color and the first woman Certified Public Accountant (CPA) elected to the position. \nCalifornia is the world’s fourth-largest economy and Treasurer Ma is the state’s primary banker. Her office processes more than $3 trillion in payments within a typical year and provides transparency and oversight for an investment portfolio of more than $124 billion\, approximately $34.8 billion of which are local government funds. She also is responsible for $93 billion in outstanding general obligation and lease revenue bonds of the state. Her office provides financing for schools\, roads\, housing\, recycling and waste management\, hospitals\, public facilities\, and other crucial infrastructure projects that better the lives of residents. \nOver the past 20+ years\, she has built a reputation as a problem-solving public servant\, adept at building unlikely coalitions to overcome California’s most complex problems. \nPrior to being elected Treasurer\, she was an elected member of the California Board of Equalization from 2014 – 2018 and worked to protect the rights of taxpayers while ensuring California collected its fair share of tax revenues. Her district covered 23 counties and included approximately 9.5 million people. Upon being selected Chairperson of the Board of Equalization in 2016\, she ordered three external audits of the agency and helped lead the biggest reforms for accountability and efficiency in that agency’s history. \nTreasurer Ma was a member of the State Assembly from 2006-2012\, serving as Speaker pro Tempore from 2010 to 2012. She built a reputation as a problem-solving public servant\, adept at building unlikely coalitions to overcome California’s most complex problems. Prior to serving as Speaker pro Tempore\, she was Assembly Majority Whip and worked across the aisle during a state budget crisis to pass groundbreaking legislation that protected public education and the environment while also expanding access to health care. \nAs an Assembly Member\, she authored 60 bills that were signed into law by two different governors – most were first-in-the-nation and required no taxpayer money. Her successful legislation to ban toxic chemicals in baby products\, known as phthalates\, became a model for federal legislation that was authored by U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein in 2008. She chaired the Assembly Select Committee on Domestic Violence and spearheaded legislation that strengthened laws protecting victims of domestic violence\, consumers and working families; prevented the spread of Hepatitis B; increased access to quality healthcare; and strengthened equal rights for all Californians. \nHer last two pieces of legislation allowed women who suffered domestic abuse and were convicted of life without parole the ability to have their cases reheard utilizing Battered Women’s Syndrome as a defense for the first time. Women are still being released from prison today who were convicted under outdated laws that refused to acknowledge the role of pervasive domestic abuse in family violence. \nFrom 2002-2006\, she served on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and championed a human rights campaign to end human trafficking in massage parlors and close prostitution rings. She led an effort to create the city’s Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program to empower small businesses to more easily participate in public works projects. \nTreasurer Ma has been a licensed CPA in California since 1992 and holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting from the Rochester Institute of Technology (NY)\, a Master’s Degree in Taxation from Golden Gate University (SF)\, and an MBA from Pepperdine University. \nShe is nationally recognized as a leader on public finance\, serving as Chair of the National Association of State Treasurers ABLE Committee and Member of the Legislative Committee. She was appointed to the Vatican’s Council on Inclusive Capitalism in 2020 and received Bond Buyer Magazine’s 2021 Freda Johnson Award for Trailblazing Women in Public Finance. She is an Aspen Rodel Fellow and a Hunt- Kean Leadership Fellow\, is a Member of the California Society of Certified Public Accountants\, Co-Founded the San Francisco Farm Bureau\, is an Honorary Chair and Spokesperson for the San Francisco Hepatitis B Free Campaign\, and is a member of the Screen Actors Guild. She is married to Jason Hodge\, a firefighter and Oxnard Harbor Commissioner. They are the proud parents of three adopted rescues\, Monkey\, Henry and Mina. \n_________________________________ \nNancy Tung was elected as chair of the San Francisco Democratic Party in April 2024. She previously served as an elected member of the party’s local leadership for four years. She deeply understands the impact the Democratic Party has on our local elections and is guiding a new caucus of moderate Democrats in the party. \nNancy’s core issues are public safety\, improving public schools\, increasing the housing stock\, and supporting small businesses. Outside of politics\, Nancy is a career prosecutor\, having served at the state and local level for 26 years\, and a mom to two young boys.

DESCRIPTION:Join us in our series of town halls with the candidates for Lieutenant Governor of California! \nAs we approach the June primary\, learn about the leading Lieutenant Governor candidates by attending Manny’s series of town halls with the top three candidates and learn who might serve as the second-highest ranking elected official in California\, holding significant power over education\, housing\, and economic policy. Moderated by Nancy Tung\, Chair of the SF Democratic Party! \nNext up is Michael Tubbs\, Former Mayor of Stockton and current Advisor on Economic Mobility and Opportunity to the Governor\, running to be California’s next lieutenant governor to build a California future that sets the example for how government can work for everyone; that leads the nation in not just talking about problems\, but solving them. \n_________________________________ \nMichael Tubbs’ journey began in South Stockton. Michael’s mother gave birth to him when she was 16 years old\, and Michael’s father has been incarcerated his entire life. Michael was raised by three forceful women – his mother\, aunt\, and grandmother. Despite the odds\, Michael’s family and faith community instilled in him the values of resilience and service. That foundation paved a path from poverty in South Stockton to the classrooms of Stanford. He ran for political office while he was still a senior at Stanford\, successfully campaigning for Councilmember for the City of Stockton District 6 at just 21 years old. \nIn 2016\, he was elected Mayor of Stockton at the age of 26. He was the city’s first African-American Mayor\, and the youngest Mayor of any major city in American history. As Mayor\, Tubbs was lauded for his leadership and innovation. He raised over $20 million dollars to create the Stockton Scholars\, a universal scholarship and mentorship program for Stockton students. Additionally\, he piloted the first mayor-led guaranteed income pilot in the country. \nUnder his leadership\, Stockton saw a 40% drop in homicides in 2018 and 2019 and led the state of California in the decline of officer involved shootings in 2019. Because of initiatives\, investments\, and work spearheaded by Michael\, Stockton’s unemployment rate was near a record low at around 5.7% in 2019 – down from around 15% in 2012. It was even named the second most fiscally healthy city in California––after Michael saved the city from literal bankruptcy. \nMichael is running to be California’s next lieutenant governor to build a California future that sets the example for how government can work for everyone; that leads the nation in not just talking about problems\, but solving them. It’s a future where education – whether vocational programs or college – is accessible to all without crippling debt. It’s a future with enough affordable housing so folks can afford to live here. And it’s a future where we leverage guaranteed basic income programs to end poverty and prevent homelessness. \nMichael Tubbs is the Special Advisor to California Governor Gavin Newsom for Economic Mobility; the Founder of Mayors for a Guaranteed Income; and the Founder of End Poverty in California (EPIC). \n_________________________________ \nNancy Tung was elected as chair of the San Francisco Democratic Party in April 2024.

SUMMARY:Peacock Lounge: Fletcher Pratt\, Hen House\, Heco\, 100\,000\,000 Unread Messages
DESCRIPTION:All-ages\, $5-$15 notaflof \nFletcher Pratt\nDarkitecture of the mind’s inmost spaces\, that is Fletcher Pratt’s speciality. Boundless in abstraction yet never disjointed\, his sounds stretch like skin continuous across an impossible skeleton\, inexorable in motion\, shifting lithe and unseen. On this night\, an epidermal split leaks that bone darkness into the light\, the jugular tapped as video\, spilling in both digital and analogue synthesis.\n \nHen House\nWant in\, or do you want out? Which is the cage and which the escape? Forget the foxes\, evil arrives ever from within\, between\, behind\, below. Violence is already passe. It’s predator-free living that conjures the deepest darkness\, unhatched death denied\, an embrace that would keep and never kill. What is wanting? Behold as this hag-industrial duo measures out sound one mountain at a time\, pinning you beneath the monstrosity of intimacy\, the plangent abyss of an eternal interior. Let their “Her Thrown” album aquaint you with objectless terror\, no escape from what awaits inside that roost without rulers: the gold hold of the Peacock Lounge.\nhttps://hen-house.bandcamp.com/album/her-thrown \nHeco\nIf you think you know him\, there’s no way you do and if you think you don’t then likely you’re onto him like if ever you’ve realized the Christian war vets who just performed\, or the squirming aliens that burst from chrysalis right at your feet\, or the band that seemed to sing and move backwards til the stage was empty and no one clapped\, or whose soundcheck was actually lipsynched to a pre-recorded soundcheck\, or that one excruciating live birth at great american\, or the conlon nanacarrow records offspeed at a slew of shows up some stairs in the lower bottoms at… a certain palace\, running over himself with his own truck\, reminiscent of the legendary Mono Pause\, a master carpenter\, a jack of all attacks\, the anti-cheshirecat and leader of the Starvation Army Marching Band\, then you also know there’s no guessing what he’ll do this night\, or on any other. Just don’t miss\, and don’t get hit. \n\n100\,000\,000 Unread Messages\nThere exist unknowable things that you can’t know because they are so numerous they constitute a whole set\, the null set\, the abyss\, and yet it has your name all over it. Time to get started somewhere\, you aren’t alone in fact the number of minds who cannot know excede even the number of unknown things and when abysses overlap… well the duo of Isabelle Waldner Kalb & Conner Tomaka will take it from there.

SUMMARY:Mirus Gallery: Travis Gillan solo exhibition (opening reception)
DESCRIPTION:Mirus Gallery San Francisco presents Cyclical Snakes and Infinite Inward\, a captivating solo exhibition by Travis Gillan. This striking series of intricate paintings invite the viewer to explore  consciousness through painted layers of colors with symbolism and shape that emanate a kind of transformation. Through this body of work\, Gillan has formed an emblem of visual language created to inspire unity in our presently fragmented collective psyche. Join us for the opening reception on Friday\, May 15th\, 2026\, from 6–10 PM. \nAbout the Exhibition:  \nCyclical Snakes and Infinite Inward is a collection of paintings that bridge 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional planes through symbolism\, color and movement that evoke a reconciliation of the schism in the collective consciousness. Gillan’s paintings serve as a beacon of inner transformation\, in hopes of dissolving the illusion of separation while illuminating connection.. His work explores a duality that mirrors a fundamental paradigm of the human mind\, reflecting the reciprocal nature of reality\, where inner worlds shape the outer. It suggests a fluid exchange between dimensions of experience\, where higher forces may both rise from within and descend from above. \nAbout the Artist:  \nTravis Gillan is a Colorado-based visual artist whose work is rich with layered symbolism\, each piece unfolding like a meditation. Gillan’s work offers deeper insights into the nature of human consciousness and glimpses of what may lie beyond.. The conceptual rigor of the work is grounded in a meticulously balanced synthesis of form and opulent color harmony. Each composition reflects a deliberate orchestration of chromatic nuance and structural precision\, revealing a thoughtful interplay between surface and depth. Through his use of flat\, saturated shapes that intersect with volumetric forms and generate a visual tension that both collapses and expands the perceived dimensional field.

SUMMARY:Garden for the Environment: Beginning Beekeeping: The Basics and Mid-Season Colony Health
DESCRIPTION:So you’re thinking of becoming a beekeeper? This workshop is an introduction to bees and beekeeping practices whether you’re starting a backyard hive or are just curious about bees. We’ll cover some basics on bees\, their progress through spring and summer\, and what to expect as colonies expand in the warmer\, longer days. There will be a class outline\, suggested reading\, and additional recommendations provided. Instructors will bring an observation hive for you to see bees in action\, and you’ll also get to see GFE’s hives from a distance. \nThe class is designed for absolute beginners so no prerequisite knowledge is required. We will have more beginning beekeeping classes this year\, and each will emphasize what is happening in a beehive throughout the seasons. Keep checking our workshop schedule for more beekeeping workshops! \nInstructors: \nOur instructors are members of the San Francisco Beekeepers Association and experienced\, longtime beekeepers. \n    Philip Gerrie: Philip is past president of the San Francisco Beekeepers Association and has kept bees in SF for 25 years. He maintains and average of ten hives.\n    Dan DeCuir: Dan is an avid gardener and backyard hen handler who has been keeping bees since 2006. He has been fascinated by social insects since childhood\, when he dreamed of having a farm. He currently keeps three beehives in San Francisco: on a neighbor’s rooftop (at her request)\, at the Park Street Community Garden\, and at Alemany Farm\, where he has taught beginner beekeeper classes. He is a member of the San Francisco Beekeepers Association\, and on the swarm catcher list – his first hive was a re-homed swarm.

SUMMARY:Shaping SF: Wide Open Town
DESCRIPTION:Author Nan Alamilla Boyd journeys with us through the 20th century San Francisco of gay men and lesbians\, examining the culture that developed around the bar scene and homophile activism when the “City That Knows How” became a town where anything goes. Boyd’s Wide Open Town is a vivid re-creation of bar and drag life\, an absorbing portrait of central figures in the communities\, and a provocative chronicling of this period in the country’s most transgressive city. Learn about early history of the gay and lesbian civil rights movement prior to 1965 as we walk together along Polk Street and into the Tenderloin. \nRSVP to shaping@foundsf.org

SUMMARY:Great Star Theater: 13th Jing Ying Cantonese Opera Festival
DESCRIPTION:During the upcoming AAPI Heritage Month\, San Francisco will welcome a cultural event that bridges tradition and modern expression. The Jing Ying Cantonese Opera Institute will present its 13th Cantonese Opera Festival on May 16–17 at the Great Star Theater in Chinatown. Through live performances and community engagement\, the festival highlights the enduring vitality of Cantonese opera as an intangible cultural heritage in contemporary society. \nAs one of the few organizations in Northern California dedicated to promoting Cantonese opera\, Jing Ying has long been committed to expanding access through bilingual productions\, educational programs\, and public dialogue. By breaking down language and cultural barriers\, the organization enables audiences of diverse backgrounds to experience and appreciate this traditional art form. Organizers hope that through more interactive and accessible presentations\, this centuries-old performance tradition will continue to evolve and thrive within American society. \nThe festival will take place over two days\, with a special program on May 16 featuring State Senator Scott Wiener\, former Mayor Willie Brown\, Board of Supervisors President Rafael Mandelman\, and Supervisor Danny Sauter\, joining community members on stage for a shared performance. \nJing Ying notes that as the performing arts landscape rapidly evolves\, traditional opera faces challenges including shifting audience demographics and cultural distance. Through cross-linguistic and cross-cultural innovation\, the organization aims to bring more young people and non-Chinese-speaking audiences into the theater\, offering new ways to engage with this historic art form. \nOrganizers emphasize that Cantonese opera is not only a legacy of the past\, but a living tradition that continues to be reinterpreted and renewed. Looking ahead\, Jing Ying will continue to promote the development of Cantonese opera in the Bay Area through performances\, education\, and community engagement\, allowing it to flourish within a multicultural environment. \nTickets range from $30 to $100. For more information and ticketing\, please refer to the organizer’s website or event materials.

SUMMARY:Manny’s: Monthly Chocolate Club at Manny's - Let's Explore Chocolate
DESCRIPTION:Monthly discussions exploring and enjoying the wonders of chocolate! Bring curiosity and a chocolate to share! \nVenture with us into this endless and delicious topic. \nEach club session is a round table discussion in the Living Room\, at the back tables. \nWhat you bring to the conversation is curiosity and chocolate to share. Your contribution may be a bar or a confection\, a nostalgic favorite\, a sample of a rare cacao\, or even something you dislike and want to learn more about. Everyone please bring something to contribute to this beautiful community! \nHere are a few infrequently asked questions about chocolate: \n    What actually is chocolate?\n    Why does chocolate resonate so vividly with us in body\, mind\, and spirit?\n    Cacao is called the “Food of the Gods” and is highly nutritious. What is science showing us about phytonutrients that benefit our health and well-being?\n    How might we think about chocolate in contemporary culture and our shared human history? The oldest confirmed evidence of cacao use by our ancestors is approximately 5\,000 years ago. Our history and future with chocolate are worth discussing.\n    We have a complex language for discussing wine—why not cacao and chocolate? \nWho is David? \nDavid has fifteen years of professional experience and a lifetime of enthusiasm for chocolate. As a chocolatier\, he makes delightful creations with amazing chocolate in micro-batches and offers them online and at farmers markets. His career in chocolate is rooted in pastry and chocolate production.
