This gathering will include an update on Green Party campaigns ranging from the Suffolk County Executive race to next year’s Presidential election. Come hear up-to-the-moment Green Party news from a grassroots perspective. www.gpsuffolk.org

An issue that is dominating elections on all levels is how to address the issue of immigration. The movie Farmingville takes on the immigration in our own backyard. This award-winning documentary was hailed by the New York Times as a “primer” on the controversial issue of illegal immigration. Farmingville is being used across the country by teachers, police officers, community organizers and policy-makers to put a human face on one of the nation’s most polarizing issues. www.farmingvillethemovie.com/

The documentary is centered in Farmingville because of the chilling hate-based attempted murders of two Mexican day laborers which catapulted the population, and the immigration issue, into the national headlines, unmasking a frontline of the new border wars – suburbia. This bilingual, verité documentary allows many players in the story – long term residents, day laborers, elected officials, advocates on all sides of the issue – to speak for themselves, offering a rare and intimate glimpse behind today’s headlines.

The Wednesday, November 7, 2007 Babylon Green Party gathering will feature an update on the Broadwater Project with Maureen Dolan Of Citizens Campaign for the Environment www.citizenscampaign.org. The Wednesday, December 5, 2007 Babylon Green Party gathering will be our annual Green Party Holiday Party featuring Feminist Folk Singer Holley Anderson. www.hollygoanarchy.com For directions to the Babylon Green Gathering, call 422-4702 or email ian.wilder@yahoo.com Children are welcome.
