June 8 Election
Duane Roberts, a local activist and organizer of the long-standing Potluck for Progressives, will announce his candidacy the for the Green Party nomination for U.S. Senate.
Should marijuana be completely decriminalized? This and other June 8 ballot initiatives will be discussed. The GPOC will forward positions on these issues to the GPCA to be compiled and presented as the position of the GPCA.
Should marijuana be completely decriminalized? The February 7th Green Party of Orange County meeting will focus this and other upcoming election issues. One of our guest speakers will be Duane Roberts, who will officially announce his Green Party candidacy for U.S. Senate at this meeting. Duane is a UCI grad with an undergraduate degree in Criminology, Law, and Society. He has studied drug-law policy and has argued in favor of legalization/decriminalization. Duane will debate pending marijuana legalization efforts with conservative political pollster and market research consultant Adam Probolsky, who writes a weekly column for the Orange County Register.



Homeless people have the right to full acknowledgment of their human dignity
and a voice in the decisions that affect them. Homelessness reflects an area of total failure in our society.
Today homeless people are hounded, threatened and often can not obtain badly needed services. Though affordable housing could help alleviate the problem of homelessness, the homeless have needs that go beyond housing.
The Green Party calls for measures to help the homeless:

  • Expand community-based services for the homeless and make them more readily available.
  • Repeal all laws that criminalize any facet of homelessness or helping the homeless.
  • Abolish anti-sleeping laws, especially in areas which don't have adequate open space, shelter and sleeping areas for the homeless.
  • Strictly enforce all the laws that are designed to provide for the homeless - such as the laws that require the opening of National Guard armories to the homeless during inclement weather.
  • Allow the homeless to take part in decisions about long- and short-term solutions to their situation.
  • Strengthen and increase funding of mental health and drug rehabilitation systems.
