- SUBJECT: 21st CENTURY PARTY
-
- A new party convened on August 28, 1992 in Washington, DC to
-
- establish a constitution, bylaws and platform and also to plan
-
- recruiting efforts. The party is called "The 21st Century Party"
-
- and is a response to all those who feel that the Democrats and
-
- Republicans do not "listen" to them. Our present form of political
-
- organization constitutes overrepresentation of a narrow elite and
-
- underrepresentation of the rest of the nation. WE are the rest of
-
- the nation!
-
- The new party is dedicated to: equality between women and men
-
- as well as people of all races and ethnicities; banning
-
- discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, religion, creed,
-
- disability, or marital status; non-violence; restoring a healthy
-
- environment; the elimination of exploitative labor practices,
-
- demilitarization of all societies; the elimination of poverty,
-
- hunger and homelessness; and the pursuit of liberty, justice and
-
- happiness for all people.
-
- The officers of the 21st Century Party are:
-
- Chair: Delores Huerta
-
- Secretary: Eleanor Smeal
-
- Treasurer: Paula Craver
-
- Vice Chairs: Roger Craver, Patricia Ireland, Mel King,
-
- Sara Nelson, Christine Rice, & Monica
-
- Faith Stewart
-
- The Constitution, Bylaws and Platform as passed by the
-
- convention will be available in the near future. Anyone interested
-
- in the 21st Party can call their office at 1-800-394-21st.
-
- As a member and attendee at the convention, I'll be glad to
-
- answer any questions also.
