[Sosfbay-discuss] David Ledesma's 'Stop Recruiting Kids' event March 7th, independent of Green Party

[Wes Rolley]

Drew,
Beyond the particulars of this situation, the fact that he decided to 
'dissolve' the political party affiliation needs to be explored more.  
It could be instructional for how we approach such future collaborations.

Do we know the rationale?
When GPSCC proposes such colaberation, what is it that we offer...  
volunteers? attendees?, media coverage? funding?

Is there something in the way that we do things that needs to be changed?

In the one case that I have been involved in, the initial public meeting 
of a citizen's group called "Restore the Delta", the Green Party 
co-sponsorship was the key ingredient that made the meeting possible... 
we party funded the venue and it was announced that the meeting was 
CoSponsored by GPCA to the great surprise of Kalmran Alavi who attended. 
Now Restore the Delta is going great guns and I am in the middle of most 
of it's decision making because I supported their work at a critical 
time.  (Funds requested from GIWG).

David Ledesma dissolved any Green Party affiliation with his committee this evening and decided to do it independently of the party.
