I’m quoted in Robert Morris’ front-page story for the Gambit, “Seeking a third: Louisiana’s Libertarian and Green parties.” Give it a look, and if you’re interested in helping to build an electoral expression of the movements for justice, ecology, democracy and peace, then please join us for the next Green Party of New Orleans meeting.
Over the past couple weeks, volunteers (including yours truly) have attempted to call every registered Green in the state of Louisiana, just to let people know that we’re organizing this convention on January 25. Our 2012 presidential candidate Jill Stein will be there.
Don’t let the slick graphics fool you: This is a grassroots, seat-of-the-pants effort. We value each and every person’s participation.
I should perhaps mention what the Green Party is about. A lot of people think it’s an environmental group. It’s not. It’s a political party which holds ecological wisdom as a core value. Social justice, grassroots democracy and nonviolence are the other pillars of the party. Obviously our efforts are focused on Louisiana, but the Green Party is an international movement.
Frankly the party needs an infusion of fresh blood. If you’re at all interested in these things, you should most certainly come and learn more. Please register at lagreens.org.

The Green Party had a media training workshop; since it was at Xavier I had to be there for the duration. Attendance was not so…
The convention was moderately successful, I think. But Xavier was a pain. Remind me not to do this again. I’m exhausted.
People showed up after all, over 20 in fact. Andrea Garland and some others spoke about Get Your Act On! Sandra Hester talked about her…
Awrite, I got a laptop and projector set up in the room, put signs up around the building. Now it’s 9am, starting time for the…
