[GPSCC-chat] Fwd: [gpca-forum] Free copy of Gar Alperovitz's "Next American Revolution" DVD for local Green Party screenings

[Spencer Graves]

Hello, All:


       I think this is an offer we cannot refuse.


             1.  What about December 5 or 6 (Thursday or Friday)? Let's 
get some discussion on this list in the next couple of days.  Get 
tentative approval from the County Council and get a date in the Peace 
Center calendar (http://sanjosepeace.org/calendar.php). I think October 
or November would be too soon.  If we don't do it in the first two weeks 
of December, then it should probably be January.


             2.  What about contacting the Central Labor Council and 
other similar organizations in this area?


       Best Wishes,
       Spencer
