The Green Party of Tennessee had its state meeting on Saturday June 15th and renewed its commitment to advance Green politics in Tennessee. We began by nominating a new secretary and then moved organically into a short discussion about two of our Presidential candidates, Howie Hawkins and Dario Hunter. Next we discussed how to up our game on social media, getting a twitter account, improving our website and getting our mailchimp feed to post on the website to make it more dynamic for promoting the party and our great Nashville radio program, The Green Hour.

We also decided we need a calendar on the website to let people know what was happening and when. We also decided to create a calendar of the many public events happening around the state in order to better plan and take advantage of tabling opportunities for outreach, voter registration and promoting our Green New Deal. We also intend to highlight state issues and proposed legislation for our members to act upon.

We welcomed a new member as well, Patrice Brown will be joining our coordinating committee. As always such face to face meetings have an energizing effect even for small groups like ours. Thank you everyone for making it a successful meeting.
