Dear Friend:
Have you signed up yet to attend the North Carolina Green
Party Spring Gathering this weekend?
This year, due to COVID-19, we are
holding our first virtual Spring Gathering using Zoom. This two-day
event is both our annual business meeting and our presidential
nominating convention for 2020. The gathering will be broken into two
parts, a Business Meeting and a Discussion and Organizing
Meeting:
1. The Business
Meeting will take place on Saturday, May
30 from 2:00 PM to 6:30 PM. This meeting is for members
only. If you are a former member whose dues have lapsed and are
currently registered to vote Green in North Carolina, you can still
register to attend the meeting by visiting https://www.ncgreenparty.org/membership
to renew your membership. A link to register for Saturday will be sent
to all members. For those members who have registered, a personalized
invitation to the meeting will be sent that will provide a direct link
to join the meeting. Our special guest is Green Party
presidential candidate front runner, Howie
Hawkins.
If you're joining or rejoining
the NCGP, please do so 24 hours in advance (by Friday, May 29 by 2:00
PM). This is to give us time
to have an updated list of members at the time of the meeting. An
agenda and other information will be provided prior to the meeting.
Please remember that a criteria for membership requires
that you are currently registered to vote as a Green. If you are unable to register to vote due
to various state disenfranchisement but want to be an NCGP member,
please contact [email protected].
While
this seems like a long meeting, it is important that members plan to
attend the entire session. We have to achieve a quorum to conduct
official business and not be held up over unfinished business until
the next gathering.
2.
The Discussion and Organizing
Meeting is Sunday, May 31, at 2:00
PM. This session is open to members as well as to nonmembers
who are interested in the NC Green Party.
We are
excited to have Green Party vice-presidential candidate
Angela
Walker join us for the first 45 minutes of the meeting.
Angela Walker is Howie Hawkins's running mate.
Please register for Sunday’s
meeting HERE.
This virtual gathering will be a
new experience for us, but we hope that it will help us to reach a
wider cross-section of our members and increase public
engagement.
Thank you for your efforts in
helping to create a new and better North Carolina. Please send any
questions to [email protected].
We hope to see you on Zoom.
Sincerely,
NCGP Coordinating
Committee
