GREEGREE #127 starts with the great ANDREA MILLER of the Center for Common Ground as she explains her legendary organization’s grassroots work in the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court race.
Because the Court in WI is evenly divided (3-3) between progressives v. conservatives, this oddly timed (April 3) election will have huge impact.
As Andrea explains, a woman’s right to choose is on the line, as is redistricting, voter registration and much more in a state that could well decide the 2024 presidential campaign.
We hear further from KARLA SAND in Minnesota, who gives important detail on the unexpected victory of KEITH ELLISION for the AG office in Minnesota.
DR. RUTH STRAUSS asks Andrea about the Virginia election that has now sent the state’s first woman of color to the US Congress.
DOROTHY REIK and CYNTHIA PAPERMASTER also add to our discussion, in particular about the potential US Senate candidacy of Rep. Barbara Lee, the only Congressperson to vote again the Afghan War.
WENDI LEDERMAN then presents a crucial overview of the use of the state-wide referendum in protection critical rights like abortion, legal pot, medicaid expansion, democracy-based districts and more.
GEORGE RIPLEY tells us of the Ballot Initiate Strategy Center formerly affiliated with the great Senator Mike Gravel.
This discussion of grassroots referenda will be critical to our work all the way through the 2024 nation election.

BILL RUSSELL, GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING IN GA/NC, HEALTH CARE, MONEY OUT OF POLITICS, LOCAL WINNERS, ABORTIONGreen Grassroots Emergency Election Protection Zoom #104 opens with the legendary Bill Russell, the Greatest professional athlete/civil rights activistn all sports based on having won 11 NBA championships in 13 years, including the last two as the first African-American coach of a major professional team. Russell did all this while serving as one of critically important pioneering activists of equal rights for all citizens. He will be incredibly missed, as will NICHELLE NICHOLS, Star Trek's first African-American female, one of the great icons of our culture (&counter-culture).RAY MCCLENDON clarifies the on-going very much alive & well prosecution of Donald Trump in Fulton County, Georgia. Ray further updates us on the escalating grassroots campaign in GA leading into the 2022 mid-terms.JOEL SEGAL connects that GA campaign to his work in NC…and then explains in great detail the considerable impact of the new Biden-Manchin bill, not yet passed, on our national health care system.RON LEONARD, RAY LUTZ and TATANKA BRICCA illuminate the huge leap forward this bill also offers to the solar industry which has been under terrible attack from the US fossil/nuke dinosaurs.GREG COLERIDGE of MOVE TO AMEND then covers his organization’s spectacular work—along with SAM ROSENTHAL---to reverse the horrendous SCOTUS Citizens United decision allowing big corporate money to buy our elections. Greg is followed by three great grassroots candidates supported by Progressive Democrats of America: JASON CALL from WA, RACHEL VENTURA and JOHN LAESCH from IL.And we hear from DR. RUTH STRAUSS, WENDI LEDERMAN, DOROTHY REIK, DANNETT ABBOTT, JUSTIN LEBLANC and many more who fit the critical mass of moving ahead with American democracy.As a parting shot, we jump briefly into the world of psychedelics, reminding all our participants for future sessions to see: FANTASTIC FUNGI & the 4-part HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MIND.

We use this hour in Solartopia to dig deep into the hard realities of this apocalyptic election.
We’re joined by STEVE ROSENFELD, JOEL SEGAL & BOB FITRAKIS, three of America's leading experts on exactly what is happening at the nuts-and-bolts grassroots of an electoral contest that has already begun.
With votes now being cast in parts of the country, we look under the hood in North Carolina, Ohio and elsewhere at exactly how this election is being manipulated and what dangerous and often insidious means are being used to twist its meaning and outcome.
Apparently "small details" like recounting deadlines, screening of incoming absentee ballots and vote count minutiae could make all the difference November 3. Don’t miss this vital discussion.
