[Sosfbay-discuss] ADVISORY: Greens endorse nationwide protests Saturday opposing Prop. 8

[Drew Johnson]

Yes, of course Eden we definitely need to put our feet on the street. 
Simultaneously I'm pleased we were able to get a release out, even though
it came as late as it did.  Better something late than missing it
altogether.  I'm happy to hear you made it to some local events and
thereby represented us Eden!  If you have connections to local groups
working to overturn Prop 8 (or any other important issues we could be
working on in alliance w/), please post that info here so more of us can
join in.  In the Greens there is no central authority that is going to
point us somewhere and we will all follow.  Instead we have a DIY (Do It
Yourself) party where each of us is leaders and we network with each other
to bring our weight to bear on important issues.

Green is Multi!
