Brown to Seek Green Party Nomination for 2008

No, not Gordon.

Former Black Panther Party leader, noted author, community and prison justice activist Elaine Brown announced this week that she intends to seek the Green Party’s nomination for a US presidential bid in 2008.

Strategically, she intends to target non-voters, specifically women under 30 and African Americans.

"Not only does the Green Party support reparations for slavery, but the party’s ten key values represent the values and interests of poor and working people. Only the Green Party offers clear positions on the needs of the people, in terms of a living wage, decent housing, food, education, and medical care. The Democrats and Republicans offer black and poor people nothing."
