GPUS Annual National Meeting Day One

June 25, 2010 in General, National Greens

The Annual National Meeting of the Green Party of the US began Thursday June 24 in Detroit, Michigan, in conjunction with the US Social Forum. The two events are appropriately overlapped, and Greens have been involved in both presenting and participating at a number of Social Forum events.

At a press conference on Thursday, Derek Grigsby, Chair of the Detroit Green Party and candidate for State Representative in District 7, and Lou Novak of the Michigan Green Party welcomed participants to Detroit, along with several co-chairs of the Steering Committee of GPUS. Below, Farheen Hakim, one of 7 co-chairs of the GPUS Steering Committee speaks:

Later, local Greens welcomed ANM participants to a party at Alvins, a restaurant / bar close to the Wayne State campus.

    From Balloat Access News..

    Larry Gist, Green Party candidate for Gov in Arizona

    Arizona Green Primary Ballot Will Have Gubernatorial Candidate

    The Arizona Green Party is ballot-qualified and nominates by primary. Arizona requires petitions for candidates to get on the primary ballot of their own party. The only person who submitted a petition to be on the Green Party primary ballot for Governor, Larry Gist, seems assured of being the party’s nominee, because a challenge to his petition has been withdrawn. See this story. The challenge had been filed by a Democrat, but the challenge has been dropped because it appears Gist’s petition has enough valid signatures. Only independent voters, and registered Greens, were eligible to sign.

    Activists in the Green Party do not know Gist, and were not involved in helping him get himself on the party’s primary ballot. He needed 1,231 signatures, and submitted 2,980.
