Second Global Young Greens Meeting, Nairobi, Kenya, January 2007

2006 / 03 / 25

Across the globe Young Green activists are now organised into national and international networks, with numbers consistently growing. As the youth movement strengthens, so too does the mandate of Green parties around the world.

In 2001 a Global Young Greens Meeting was held. We propose it is high time to hold another! In Nairobi, Kenya, in January 2007, a Global Greens meeting and the World. Social Forum will be held. This is the ideal time for Young Green activists from every continent to come together and decide on how to organise our growing numbers and influence globally.

Do we want to form a universal coalition of Young Greens for solidarity in our campaigns?

Do we want to construct a global organisation with office holders, elections and an annual congress? Or do we just want to party? If you are politically active, a member of a Green party or a Green focused organisation, and are young (working definition is 35 and under- but that's up for discussion too), please send your name, contact details and organisation (should you belong to one) to 這個 E-mail 地址已經被防止灌水惡意程式保護，您需要啟用 Java Script 才能觀看
Please forward this email to any Green mailing lists or individuals you know and encourage them to do the same! The first step is to create a mailing list, through which we can discuss the agenda for the meeting. Please be aware that only those who return their details will be added. In the meantime, to see keep track of 
where the things are at, bookmark www.globalyounggreens.blogspot.com.

The issues of climate change, global poverty and unsustainable ecological policies are worldwide. While it? clear that as Greens we need to act locally, organising globally may be one of our strongest cards in 
becoming effective agents of change. So if you're up for three days of workshops, forums (and let? face it, parties) in Kenya, on a range of environmental and social issues, send in your details and we?l get started.
