Film, food, and action at Manny’s as we screen *The Cigarette Surfboard* and join the push to ban toxic plastic cigarette filters in SF.
About this Event

Join us for an unforgettable evening of film, food, and environmental action at Manny’s

as we screen the award-winning documentary, The Cigarette Surfboard. This powerful

film exposes one of the most widespread yet overlooked plastic pollutants in our

environment: the cigarette butt.


But this night is more than just a screening; it's a rallying point. Together, we’ll build

momentum to eliminate toxic plastic cigarette filters from San Francisco’s streets and

waterways. With Santa Cruz already passing the groundbreaking legislation we hope to

see in SF, now is the time to act.


Cigarette butts make up nearly one-third of all litter by count and are non-biodegradable

with no health benefits to the smoker. This event is a chance to raise awareness, spark

meaningful dialogue, and push for real legislative change. Let’s protect our oceans and

our city.


We’re proud to welcome an inspiring lineup of changemakers and public officials for a

lively evening of insight and action:

Featured Speakers:

  • Senator Scott Wiener
  • City Attorney David Chiu
  • (Remarks tentatively scheduled by Mayor Lurie)

Panel Discussion:

Kick off the night with a dynamic panel moderated by David Helvarg, renowned

journalist and founder of the Blue Frontier Campaign. Panelists include:


  • Heidi Sanborn, Executive Director, National Stewardship Action Council (NSAC)
  • Vince Yuen, Founder, Refuse Refuse
  • Manu Koenig, Santa Cruz Supervisor and advocate for their successful cigarette filter ban

This panel will be recorded for the Rising Tide Podcast.


Food and Drinks Provided By:


Bi-Rite Market • Whole Foods Market • Ocean Beach Café • Manny’s

Enjoy delicious eats and drinks before and during the screening.

We’ll close the night with clear steps on how you can take action and be part of the

solution.


We thank all our sponsors for making this evening possible.
