Green Party of the US: Diversity Committee
Posted by ~Ray @ 2008-06-22 07:19:48
I am a non-voting member of the Green Party of the United States Diversity Committee. The goals of the committee include nurturing identity caucuses to gather together for representation on the GP-US National Committee. Though other things happen there including a lot of good networking and sharing on issues connected to go. LGBT issues women’s issues etc.
Now that former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has joined the Green Party it would be awesome if she could join this committee. I think some candidates can be aloof to the nitty gritty of party politics. And when you are leading a campaign it
difficult to be on a committee and do internal work. But this committee is easy to get on and does not make demands of people. People would be honored to have Ms. McKinney join. And the symbolism of having Ms. McKinney there with us would be awesome.
In order for any green anywhere in the country to join this committee they just need to send an e-mail and they ordain get asked to be verified as a Green by someone in their state. It is not like other committees where you have to get appointed or elected on. They idea is to invite participation. I am proud that my party has a committee like this with rules that make it open and inviting a special path for people of diversity to jump into the mix of national. color politics.
