Friend --
Happy Earth Day! There are SO many ways to show your love for the
planet in this special time we like to call Earth Day to May
Day!
We are excited to invite you to participate in The Post Capitalism Conference: Building a
Solidarity Economy that kicks off today until Sunday
4/25. What a great way to kick off Earth Day to May Day!
This FREE conference will offer 21 sessions facilitated by movement
leaders, practitioners and scholars. Panelists include noted Green
Party of NY organizers Gloria Mattera, Margaret Kimberly, and
Michael O'Neil, along with national Greens like David
Cobb, Melezia Figueroa, and Rich
Whitney.
They will be joined by many prominent progressive
luminaries Rick Wolff (Democracy at Work),
Emily Kawano, (US Solidarity Economy Network),
Chase Iron Eyes (Last Real Indians), Nati
Linares (New Economy Coalition), Kali Akuno
(Cooperation Jackson), Kaitlin Reed (Humboldt State),
David Korten (Yes! Magazine), Mike Strode
(Koala Nut Collaborative), Trinity Tran
(Public Banking Alliance), Ramon Tores
(Cooperativa Tierra y Libertad), ) and many more!
Then, on Wednesday,
April 28 at 7pm we invite you to a special GPNY online teach-in with
our guests from Ranked Choice NY! Zoom attendance is
limited, so
sign up today and spread the word!
Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) is a voting system that allows voters to
rank candidates on a ballot in order of preference rather than
choosing one candidate.
With RCV, you can rank your favorite candidate first, and even if
your first choice does not win, you can still help choose the winner
by ranking other candidates your second, third, fourth (and so on)
choices.
Sounds great, right?? So how do we win it,
especially when giving voters MORE choice is the LAST thing the
elected power structure wants to do?
By building an irresistible movement, that's how! And we're
thrilled to have three speakers from Ranked
Choice NY discuss how Greens can help make that
happen.
Are you looking for even more online events to
connect with Greens across the country between Earth Day and May
Day? Is your Green Party organization or campaign hosting or
co-sponsoring an event between Earth Day and May Day? Check out the Green Party's national Earth Day to May
Day Calendar and submit your event today
We
also hope you will consider making a contribution to GPNY
today. We can't keep running candidates and organizing on
the issues without your support. We've never taken
corporate money! That mean's we've always been loyal
to People, Planet and Peace, over Profit.
Happy Earth Day From the Green Party of NY! 🌻🌎 http://www.gpny.org/
