Thanks for a great article Bob! If you haven't had the chance - check out the video on collective bargaining and the fight for an NC Mental Health Workers Bill of Rights - http://www.indyweek.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A263347
Wow! What a great segment!
Indy Voices will have more footage up soon! Also - look out for an announcement of a reportback from Triangle Area folks who attended one or both of the conventions in the upcoming weeks. Most likely to be held at Internationalist Books in Chapel Hill and the ACRe Space in Raleigh. Still exploring a Durham location - please post if you have any suggestions.
Hey all -- just wanted to post a correction, I am the former chair of the North Carolina Green Party. The current Chair of the North Carolina Green Party is Jan Martell. -Elena Everett, NC Green Party member
Thank you, Lisa, for writing about this important case! Most people have absolutely no idea how hard it is to get on the ballot in NC if you are not a "D" or an "R." Let's all hope that Judge Hobgood has the courage to rule in our favor.
Awesome video -- for more short videos on the work of UNC SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) and the current sit-in against UNC Sweatshop apparel, visit www.youtube.com/elenainthemachine
