[Sosfbay-news] Cheri Honkala in San Jose, Sun. 10/21, 6-8 pm -- FIGHTING FOR OUR FUTU RE

[Valerie D. Face]

Fighting for our Future!
Lifelong anti-poverty activist and current Green Party candidate for Vice President Cheri Honkala will speak in San Jose on Sunday evening, October 21.  She will talk with the audience during a hip hop concert from 6 to 8 pm at Silicon Valley De-Bug Community Center, 701 Lenzen Avenue in San Jose.
The concert will feature Metafizix, Rahman Jamaal, DLabrie, and Shamako Noble.  Admission is free but donations will be requested.
Cheri Honkala is director of the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign.  She has fought for housing for everyone ever since her experience as a homeless mother in Minnesota in the 1980s.  Recently she has become 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 them propose to scale back spending on housing, health care, education, and Social Security at the very time when we need these programs more than ever. Their only disagreement is over how fast to do it.
The Green Party ticket of Jill Stein and Cheri Honkala is advancing a positive vision called the Green New Deal.  The Green New Deal projects a 1930s-style jobs program to restore our schools and universities, transit systems, health care delivery, and environment (see http://www.jillstein.org).
The burning question today is not lesser evils, but the basic direction for our country.  Instead of bipartisan bank bailouts, let's invest our national resources in a better world for our children.  Instead of holding hunger games, let's build a moral society based on the spiritual values of love and community.
Voting Green in California is part of a long term strategy to build a viable third party for the future.  A strong Green Party vote today lays the foundation for the battle in the days ahead.
