FIGHTING FOR OUR FUTURE!

Lifelong anti-poverty activist and current Green Party candidatefor Vice President Cheri Honkala will speak in San Jose on Sunday evening ,October 21. She will dialogue with the audience during a hip hop concert from 6to 8 pm at Silicon Valley DeBug Community Center, 701 Lentzen Avenue in SanJose.

Cheri Honkala is director of the Poor People’s Economic HumanRights Campaign. She has fought for housing for everyone ever since herexperience as a homeless mother in Minnesota in the 1980s. Recently she hasbecome a nationally recognized leader in the fight to resist foreclosures.

The two major parties today are promising NOTHING in this election,and instead each one accuses the other of being worse. In fact BOTH of thempropose to scale back spending on housing, health care, education, and SocialSecurity at the very time when we need these programs more than ever. Theironly disagreement is over how fast to do it.

The Green Party ticket of Jill Stein and Cheri Honkala isadvancing a positive vision called the Green New Deal. The Green New Dealprojects a 1930s-style jobs program to restore our schools and universities,transit systems, health care delivery, and environment (see jillstein.org). 

The burning question today is not lesser evils, but the basicdirection for our country. Instead of bipartisan bank bailouts, let’s investour national resources in a better world for our children. Instead of holding hungergames, let’s build a moral society based on the spiritual values of love andcommunity.

Voting Green in California is part of a long term strategy tobuild a viable third party for the future. A strong Green Party vote today laysthe foundation for the battle in the days ahead.
