Green Party presidential candidate, Dr. Jill Stein, is coming to the San Fernando Valley for a fundraiser at the Mayflower Club in North Hollywood on Monday night at 7pm. Stein, a former candidate for governor of Massachusetts, is seeking the nomination of the Green Party along with Dr. Kent Mesplay from
San Diego.
The event, known as “Occupy the Future!” with the theme of Future Focus, is for all San Fernando Valley voters who are looking ahead for the issues looming on our horizon as we approach the 2012 election cycle.
Future state propositions will be discussed by several guest speakers including; Actor/Author/Activist, Mike Farrell (of TV’s “MASH,” “Desperate Housewives” & “Providence”) who will speak about the SAFE Act, which proposes to replace the death penalty in California with life sentences without
the possibility of parole, Thomas Watson, founder of Love, Honor, Cherish, who will discuss the possibility of introducing a state proposition to approve Marriage Equality, and Michael McCue, a local Green Party leader, who will speak on behalf of MoveToAmend.org, a social movement that is demanding a constitutional amendment that would
clearly state that corporations are not people and that money does not equal free speech.
