DRAFT AGENDA:

12pm: Welcome and introductions

12:15pm: Co-chairs' statements on the current political moment

12:30pm: Reports from committees and local chapters

12:55pm: BREAK

1:00pm: Open discussion: What would you like the Green Party to work on?

The Wisconsin Green Party recently sent a survey to our members asking what issues matter to them and what they'd like the Green Party to work on. In this discussion we hope to hear more from WIGP members about the issues that are important to them and how we can organize as Greens to make a real difference and build an effective movement.

Some issues that have come up in the survey and initial discussions include climate change; clean water; affordable housing, education and daycare; nonviolence in our communities; anti-war and anti-imperialism; racial justice; and man-made environmental disasters like the recent derailment and chemical fire in East Palestine, Ohio.

This is your party - what would YOU like the Green Party to work on?

1:55pm: BREAK

2:00pm: Continue discussion: What would you like the Green Party to work on?

As we continue the discussion, we'd like to connect the dots from issues we care about to how we as the Green Party can effectively organize to make a difference on these issues, and how members can help. We'll also discuss 2023 elections and upcoming 2024 elections, and how we can grow the Green Party into the force we need for people, planet, and peace over profit.

3:00pm: OFFICIAL END OF MEETING

There may be opportunities to continue informal discussion and socializing after the official end of the meeting for members who so desire.
