South Central Michigan Greens to Meet 1-3pm
Saturday, July 27 at Emmett Township Biggby's
=============================================



The South Central Michigan Greens local will hold its monthly meeting 
1-3pm on Saturday, July 27 at Biggby's Coffee, 1125 East Michigan Avenue 
in Emmett Township east of Battle Creek.

The meeting is an event on Facebook:


The local usually meets on third Saturdays, but this meeting is being 
shifted to the fourth Saturday so co-founder John Anthony La Pietra of 
Marshall can attend and report on last month's Green Party of Michigan 
State Membership Meeting in Mount Pleasant, and the next one October 12 
in Redford.

Co-founder Monika Dittman Schwab of Jackson will lead discussion of 
activism in the county, including the Jackson city mayoral election and 
a six-month moratorium on building fossil-fuel plants approved by the 
Rives Township board thanks to the efforts of Citizens to Keep Rives 
Rural (endorsed by the local and by GPMI).

La Pietra will also give an update on the next Labor History Walk in 
Marshall, this one planned to share the Saturday after Labor Day -- 
September 7 -- with the town's Historic Home Tour.

Recruiting 2020 candidates in the local area (Jackson, Calhoun, and 
Hillsdale Counties) will also be on the agenda.  So will discussing 
what's Green about the original Green New Deal -- the version Greens 
have been running on for years -- and how that #realDeal can help real 
people.

A map of the July 27 meeting's location is available at the coffeeshop's
