LA Greens Participate in NAACP Calif. Convention Youth Forum

Los Angeles Greens member Raam Kaur represented the Green Party at the NAACP State Convention, Youth Forum, on Oct. 27, 2007 in Manhattan Beach, CA. The Republican youth was a no show, so Raam had the stage with a Democrat, speaking to over 100 youth from across the state. She covered the key points of our Green Party platform: highlighting our freedom from corporate donations, the Green Party's worldwide presence, justice issues, fair trade, the consequences of our purchases and personal responsibility, global connectedness, sustainable agriculture, how the money that's going to the Iraq War could be better spent on education and health care, and how we need to consider the seventh generation in our deliberations.

Last week, Raam was on the hip-hop station Power106, on the program Knowledge is Power, discussing politics and youth involvement with reps from USC Republicans, CA Democratic Party, SFV young democrats and ADI, who were promoting a big event, the Empower Change Summit, at UCLA on Nov. 3.

Thanks Raam, for representing the LA Greens and the Green Party! Thanks also to Linda Piera-Avila and Alex Walker for attending the NAACP Convention and passing out Green Party newspapers, and to Linda for the photos.
