GREENS FROM AROUND THE WORLD WILL ATTEND THE GREEN PARTY CONVENTION IN DENVER
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contacts: DENVER, COLORADO -- Along with Green Party delegates and observers representing states from across America, Greens and Green elected officials from around the world will attend the Green National Nominating Convention at the Renaissance Hotel in Denver, Colorado on June 24 and 25. The convention will also welcome members of the American Reform Party (ARP) that plans to help Green presidential candidate Ralph Nader win votes. ARP is part of the schism that resulted when many Reform Party members objected to founder H. Ross Perot’s strong hold on the party’s agenda and to the likely nomination of Pat Buchananas the national candidate at the Reform Party convention in August. ARP members include supporters of former Colorado Governor Dick Lamm and Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura who have begun to campaign for Mr. Nader. Greens in the United States see themselves as part of a worldwide Green movement to restore the health of the planet, to challenge the anti-democratic power of global corporations, and to seek social, economic, and environmental justice through direct political action and involvement. The convention is being organized by the Association of State Green Parties, the official partner of the European Federation of Green Parties, which consists of 30 national European parties. The list of Greens from outside the US who will attend the convention includes: Alex Gonzalez, Green Party of Peru Arnold Jager, Green Ecologist Party of Mexico Diego Cobo, Green Ecologist Party of Mexico Joan Russow, Leader, Green Party of Canada Steve Kisby, Green Party of Canada Craig Palmer, General Secretary, New Zealand Green Party Maitalal Gurung, Executive Committee Member, Green Party Nepal Adamou Garba, President, African Federation of Green Parties, Niger Paul Lannoye, Member, European Parliament Daniel Auroi, Member, European Parliament Arnold Cassola, General Secretary, European Federation of Green Parties (EFGP) Marian Coyne, Spokesperson, EFGP Franz Floss, Spokesperson EFGP Jef Leestmans, Treasurer, EFGP Catherine Greze, Committee Member, EFGP Vitalii Kononov, President, Green Party of Ukraine, Member of Parliament Slavinskas Vladas, Lithuania Green Movement Nika Greger, Program Director, North-South Dialogue Program, Heinrich Boell Foundation, Washington Office
