** Please distribute widely to all Greens **

The Grassroots Outreach Working Group (GROW) now has a Literature Group and
a State Newsletter Project. Needless to say, we need lots of help. If you
can contribute in any way, please send a message to literature@sdgreens.org
and state which of the tasks below you would be interested in. The
Literature Group is designed to provide a centralized source for Green Party
literature, which will be made available online for Local groups to download
and use. The State Newsletter will be a quarterly that will focus on
opinion/analysis of issues and events in order to complement the national
paper Green Pages, which focuses more on electoral news. Please help GPCA
grow by sharing your resources, volunteering for these projects and
submitting articles to the Newsletter!

Volunteer Opportunities:
----------------------------
We need
- Writers, translators, editors, researchers and graphic artists
- Literature: If you or your local group have literature that worked well in
getting out the Green message and/or literature that you think could be used
by the GROW group to create new literature, please send them to us by email,
at literature@sdgreens.org, or by regular mail to:
Karine Megerdoomian
Literature Group

If you have literature posted on the web, please send us the URL.
- Newsletter Submissions: Please send in your article submissions following
the Submission Guidelines below.

to literature@sdgreens.org

Submission Guidelines:
-------------------------
The emphasis of the newsletter will be on Green issues (e.g., environment,
social justice, domestic and foreign policy, the U.S. electoral system). One
of the main goals of the newsletter would be to educate Green Party members
and the general public about neoliberalism and its effects on globalization,
environment, corporate personhood and democracy (among other things) and to
demonstrate that the Green Party provides a viable alternative to the status
quo. Send us your
(1) News articles: brief analyses of news developments or Green Party
related news (approximately 500 words)
(2) Opinion articles: a more in-depth analysis of current issues or
discussion of Green Party theory (up to 1500 words)
(3) Book reviews (up to 500 words)

Send submissions and all queries to newsletter@sdgreens.org or by regular
