GREEN TALK: BEYOND SPOILER POLITICS - IMPLEMENTATION OF DEMOCRATIC
ALTERNATIVES
Thursday, July 3, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
New College of California, 99 Sixth St., Santa Rosa
(Just north of Railroad Square on the corner of Wilson and Sixth)
Daniel Solnit, our principle speaker, will talk about the change of
mind-set and methodology necessary to move America past the politics
of war, corporate welfare and human disenfranchisement. Green Party
values will be discussed and compared to Democratic party practices.
Green Talks are informal meetings hosted by the Green Party of Sonoma
County (GPSC) on the first Thursday of each month. At a Green Talk you
will have an opportunity to focus on topics of interest to you and
other Greens in Sonoma County; connect with other Greens to exchange
ideas and keep each other informed about local events; and build the
party by becoming an active, participating member of the GPSC.

constitutional rights of citizens and non-citizens in the U.S. This
