Chapters to lead the way in rebuilding our party
PGP invites party members to meet November 16 to discuss healing and rebuilding after the February chaos. The process will be facilitated by Linn-Benton, Lane and Green Liberty Caucus chapters. These represent most of the 39 members whose votes were nullified in the stolen election.
A Party in Crisis
The consequences of the February coup are severe. Party decisions at convention were overturned. The state broke all precedent by intervening. This intervention disrupted our party structure, placing undue power in the hands of the party secretary. The officers installed by the February coup are now fighting among themselves. This predictable collapse was caused by those who cast aside our party’s principles and rules of order.
Finding the way forward
The state’s intervention is currently being challenged in court. Meanwhile, party bylaws call for our next officer election to be in December or January. Who runs that convention? Who decides who can vote? And of course, who counts the votes? We invite you to help answer these questions.
RSVP now!
Our last convention May 5 was well attended and ran smoothly. The best way to make sure that happens again is to get started early. If you can attend, please RSVP on the form below.
Supporting membership: the February election was stolen by retroactively canceling the supporting membership of 39 voters. There will be no such shenanigans at this convention. If there is any doubt whether your chapter certifies you, we’ll contact the chapter and ask. Noone’s vote will be retroactively disqualified.
