{news} Re: Proposed agenda for 11-27-07 SCC meeting - CT/RI Peace, Justice and Environmental Network

[David Bedell]

Finally, here is a proposal to join a regional network of peace & justice
groups. Last week the Fairfield chapter met and agreed we should join this.
This one does not require subscribing to any statement of principles, it
just means adding the CT Green Party's name to a website so we can
coordinate activities with other groups.

PROPOSAL

PRESENTER (committee, chapter(s) or group of individuals): Fairfield County
chapter

CONTACT (name, address, phone number, email):  David Bedell, 12 Ardsley Rd,
Stamford, CT 06906, 203-581-3193, dbedellgreen(at)hotmail.com; Richard

SUBJECT (10 words or less): Connecticut / Rhode Island Peace, Justice and
Environmental Network

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE (100 words or less; include relationship, reasons

A website hub, http://www.cripjen.org, has been created to serve CT and RI
peace, justice, and environmental groups. It offers a calendar, member list,
forums, petition center, etc. Current member groups include several we have
worked with in the past: Green Party of RI, American Friends Service
Committee, Greater New Haven Peace Council, Efficacy, Toxics Action, etc.
Joining this network will help us coordinate activities with other groups
and increase visibility of the Green Party.

and Environmental Network and invite our members to use the resources on the
Network website, http://www.cripjen.org
