Dave Schwab at Green Party Watch:
The Green Party of Washington State (GPoWS) will be hosting a regional gathering of members (and potential members) of the Green Party on Saturday, 13 November 2010. Greens from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, British Columbia, Alaska, and beyond are invited to join us in Seattle for a day of fun, including motivational speakers, music, and food.
→ Participate in developing the Green Party vision. → Reconnect with old friends and meet new ones. → Discuss the state of the world and what we can do together to better it. → Learn how to form a Campaign Support System to encourage Green Party candidates and legislative measures. → → Door Prizes! — including two copies of David Korten’s book “Agenda for a New Economy: From Phantom Wealth to Real Wealth”. → Silent auction. We welcome your White Elephants that need a new home! → Interact with retired Human Ecology professor Don Wilkin as he discusses how population growth, including that outside of “third world countries” can undo every effort we make to become more “green”. Dr. Wilkin will guide attendees through an examination of the shortcomings of the Green Party’s national platform concerning Population issues and will work with the group to collectively develop a list of suggested changes to be submitted to the national platform committee for the 2012 updates. → Bring and share your favorite foods. → → Talk about your vegetable garden and energy saving techniques. → Enjoy a singing performance by the popular group Raging Grannies. → Have fun!
