Keynote speakers Dr. Jill Stein and Mr. Ajamu Baraka, the 2016 presidential and vice-presidential nominees, will appear as will local activists the Party has chosen for recognition in thanks for their important efforts over the years. Greens and Green voters from across the state, region, and nation are welcomed to this historic summit.
"In these days of unprecedented crisis and resistance, I'm thankful to all of you who keep building the unstoppable movement for an America, and a world, that works for all of us," said Dr. Stein. "It is now clearer than ever that the Democratic Party has learned no lessons from its catastrophic defeat. To build an America that works for all of us, we urgently need to build a progressive alternative that is independent of both parties of war and Wall Street."
Greens and Green voters from across the state, region, and nation are welcomed to this historic summit.
“There was never any illusion by our campaign that the struggle to build an independent democratic opposition would end on Election Day," said Mr. Baraka, lead organizer of the Black Alliance for Peace and an editor/columnist with Black Agenda Report. "Today we continue that historic task as though our lives depend on it, because it does.”
