Apologies to those who attended yesterday's conference call. Our leadership team had last minute conflicts. We did hear from a couple of you that you plan to run for leadership at convention. With only a few of us on the call, you will reach more of our hundreds of members by emailing your bio/paragraph of intent to the secretary-treasurer at cvmaren@mwt.net. We will make sure all members get your info before our PC meeting AT NOON on Saturday.
The good news is that our "Resolutions as policies" resolution will be among those voted at the convention along with several other resolutions that concern party governance.
RESOLUTIONS CONCERNING PARTY GOVERNANCE:
19-PG-05: Turn Platform And Resolutions Into Policies (5th CD, 95 words); No action
WHEREAS, our party works to create Platform and Resolutions that reflect our values of social and economic justice, ecological sustainability and peace;
WHEREAS, candidates seeking support from DPW often promote the Platform and Resolutions, but sometimes don’t on very significant issues, e.g., universal and affordable health insurance, defense spending, fair trade, etc; and,
WHEREAS, the resources of our party are limited;
THEREFORE, RESOLVED, DPW focus its resources on candidates who advocate for our Platform and Resolutions;
and,
FURTHER RESOLVED, DPW shall semi-annually inform the membership of candidates’ positions in regard to our Platform and Resolutions.
The final schedule is published. Our caucus meets at noon on Saturday (Serenity Room). We'll hear about new initiatives to organize within our caucus and among others inside and outside the party, plans for the future, and elections for leadership. You must have been a caucus member before the convention in order to vote.
