CANCELLED – The Green Party and prospects for a multi-party democracy in California and the United States – a talk with Mike Feinstein – Friday, April 10, 2020 from 6:30 to 9:30pm at Songs in L.A. Eco-Village
People across California and across the country are fighting for more political representation than offered by the two-party duopoly.
How can we get to a multi-party democracy? What does the experience of the Green Party in the U.S. and around the world tell us about this challenge? How would politics in California and the United States be different under a multi-party democracy, that included proportional representation, ranked choice voting and public financing of elections?

“Heal the Soil; Heal the World!” – Talk with Nancy Klehm – Sunday, March 8, 2020 at 12:30 at St. John’s Cathedral, Los Angeles
Nance Klehm is an ecological systems designer who has worked to heal degraded soil around the world, from her home neighborhood of Little Village, Chicago to the rain forests of Ecuador. Timebankers Kelly Coyne and Erik Knutzen have booked her to give this FREE talk.
Nance will talk about the deep connection between soil health and social justice, and the importance of healthy soil in troubled times along with the connection between the health of our soil and our own health and the health of our communities.
Following the talk, you can join her for an optional workshop on vermicomposting—you will go home with your own worm bin. Lecture is free, but the worm-bin is $30, and you must preregister so we can provide your materials. Financial aid available.
