[Sosfbay-news] TONIGHT Bike4Peace/Catalysts of Hope Event, Sunday SJ 5PM, Earth Day Ap 22

[JamBoi]

Merriam, Bob, Cameron, and I made it to this event.  As co-sponsors of
the event we got our famous Green Party t-shirts with the bicyclists
for the riders and this should get our Green Party name out there not
only in California but all over the country!  We gave them some Green
Pages and other GP literature as well.

The discussion questions of the evening were 1) what are we most
concerned about our society.  2) what kind of society would we like to
build?  3) What changes in our personal lives would we like to see to
get there?

In general we came up with the vision that we'd like to see more
creativity, individual empowerment, voluntary work, egalitarian
community self-governance, Peace Social Enterprise (as opposed to
Military Industrial Complex), creative nonviolent conflict resolution
techniques, multiparty Democracy, flowers, bees, community gardens and
other community building.

A fun and inspiring time!
