The Green Party Convention this year will be held from July 10-13 in Chicago. The main attraction this year is the nomination of the Green Party Presidential Candidate. On Saturday, July 12, the party will choose a candidate from four recognized contenders: Jesse Johnson, Cynthia McKinney, Kent Mesplay and Kat Swift.
The convention will host an impressive array of speakers, including peace activist Kathy Kelly, community activist Malik Rahim and drug policy activist Cliff Thornton, as well as more than 60 inspirational and fascinating workshops and caucuses.
Note that none of those speakers is likely to be a speaker at a Democratic National Convention.
Also note that Ralph Nader is NOT a “recognized contender.”
That said, I’m sure he’ll continue on another ego-driven independent run for the presidency.
But he is NOT, and will not be, the Green Party nominee.
I will post more information on the nominees later this week.
