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

[Caroline Yacoub]

Has anybody seen this? It would be a good thing to have someone familiar enough with it to answer questions and to word flyers. If it's terrific, can we get a larger space than the Peace Center? If we do it in the first two weeks of December, we have to bear in mind the plenary  and the Peace Fair.

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
