Interesting concept of a Green New Deal and, it seems from the posting and Mp3s like there were indeed some positive energies and good ideas coming forward.

This is an observation only...What happens to the ones who didn't go there? For example - the uninterested, uninvolved and the riff-raff who couldn't afford the £12 or £15 costs?
Also, it appears once again from the photographs posted, that, it was by and large, the white, well to do - do - gooders who attended...always the same with these kind of events...you have to work with what you have got, which, on the one hand, is a lot of well meaning, well informed and educated white ,english based people and, on the other, you have the ignorant, the largely uninterested media and the disinterested "others"...socially excluded - for want of a better word.

Nothing about us - without us!

How do SCACC and others address that?
