LA Greens Holiday Potluck Party w\/ Presidential Candidate Dr. Jared Ball, Dec. 19, 7pm, Peace Center
Dr. Jared Ball, one of seven Green Party presidential candidates, will be joining us at our annual L.A. Greens holiday party.
Here is what people are saying about him:
\"Jared Ball was outstanding, as was Head-Roc. Jared is a great presenter, really well organized, compelling and inspiring. He and Heady are using hip-hop strategically to attract young people, then educating them in ways they can understand and be motivated by. I promise you will be impressed. Bring everyone you can to the LA Greens party. They won't want to miss him!\"
