Caroline will forward the email on this to Sandy, and Sandy will
forward the "asks" to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:sosfbay-discuss@cagreens.org">sosfbay-discuss@cagreens.org</a>. <br>

<br>
*** Tian will look at our material on Facebook. <br>
<br>
<br>
*** Sandy will try to find Blair Libby. <br>

Tian and Caroline did Junior State. <br>
<br>
<br>
Holiday Peace Fair, Dec. 6. Sandy will help part time between
8 and 10. Tian will help in the afternoon. (8 - 4 PM; Tian will
help clean up.) (Tian to ask Melanie if she'd like to manage this
10 - noon.) <br>
<br>
<br>
* Follow-up from August: What about:<br>
<br>
<br>
(A1) The second web page on cagreens.org for the Santa Clara County
Green party<br>
<br>
<br>
(A2) the Facebook page?<br>
<br>
<br>
** CA Plenary in Monterey in January. Caroline will go and provide
transportation for those who would like to ride with her. Sandy
will send an email to the group to volunteer to be a delegate or
alternate. <br>
<br>
<br>
* SCC Greens to host a California Green Party Plenary to coincide
roughly with the US Social Forum, June 24-27, 2015? [This was
suggested by Mike Feinstein. Human Agenda will be doing something
with that Social Forum -- including, I think, prep activities in
January; Richard Hobbs is involved.] (Sandy) Philadepha +
Jackson, MI, + San José. Shamako Noble is the national coordinator
for the US Social Forum. <br>
<br>
<br>
* Warner: <br>
<br>
<br>
1. We either as a local party or representing the State
party should have a table at this Social Forum. We should also try
to contact Greens in other states. <br>
<br>
<br>
2. Would we want to present 1 or more workshops? <br>
<br>
<br>
3. This could be a major theme for the next 6 months
for us to do outreach using the voter registration list, etc., to
let people know this is coming. <br>
<br>
<br>
** There will be a People's Movement Assembly. There was one
about Hip Hop this last weekend. Nov. 29 another one by Richard
Hobbs. Sandy will send material on this. Spencer will post to the
web site. Sandy is involved with this. It will be centered at San
José State. <br>
<br>
<br>
* Warner would like to know the mechanism for the Santa Clara
Greens to be connected with this event so we can say we are
connected. <br>
<br>
<br>
Resolution: The Green Party of Santa Clara County will support the
US Social Forum in San Jose in June, 2015. (Approved.) <br>
<br>
<br>
* Regarding the possibility of a plenary, we need twice as
many active people working on it. Caroline suggests we try to get
twice as many people working on it -- organizing an event of about
50 people. <br>
<br>
<br>
Social Forum: Wednesday - Saturday. Plenary would be Friday night
for Coordinating Commmittee, Plenary Saturday and Sunday. <br>
<br>
<br>
*** We need to work with Green parties in other counties to
help organize this. <br>
<br>
<br>
*** With the Social Forum in San José, it would be stupid if
we didn't have the June Plenary here. <br>
<br>
<br>
1. Find a venue; Sandy will look for this. <br>
<br>
<br>
2. Check the availability and cost of motel space. <br>
<br>
<br>
3. The State Coordinating Committee has a dinner the
night before that must be arranged. <br>
<br>
<br>
4. .. -<br>
<br>
<br>
** Sandy: Rev. Pinkney is facing charges around a petition drive.
He was convicted of 5 felonies. Could face 25 years in prison.
Sandy would like people to sign. <br>
<br>
<br>
* SCC Greens to endorse or co-sponsor a "Fifth anniversary
commemoration of Citizens United" (provided it doesn't cost us any
money) being organized by Move to Amend for January 24 (3 days after
the actual 5th anniversary, Jan. 21) (approved)<br>
<br>
<br>
* SCC Greens to support a local anti-corruption campaign similar to
the referendum that got 2/3 of the vote in Tallahassee, Nov. 4.
