Hey all.

I live in a pretty isolated area geographically and there isn’t a strong organized Socialist presence—at least not that I can find. Based on some now abandoned social media accounts, it looks like there were a few groups in the past, but they’ve now went dark and I can’t see a members list.

All that to say, I’m considering starting an Eco-Socialist book club to try and meet some like-minded people in my community. And I was hoping to get some book recommendations that would be a good starting point for the group.

To be honest, I’m still pretty new to all this myself (I’ve voted Green Party in the past, but looking to become more politically engaged), and I imagine other potential future members might be as well, so the more palatable, beginner friendly books would be super helpful. It’s okay if the books are eco-socialism adjacent. All suggestions are welcome. I’m really just looking to get the ball rolling.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is the Green Party either U.S. Greens or specifically the California Greens on BlueSky? I deleted all META related products (as everyone should) and while I do participate here on reddit I think we need to show up everywhere. The biggest criticism during this last election is that we only show up every four years. Let's prove them wrong.

I can't seem to find any meetings or regularly maintained Green Party pages. Well actually a few years ago I did follow the Green Party FL insta but their shared infographics looked so cooked I commented "ily but this looks like it was posted from a potato," which then led to them blocking me! That was pretty disheartening since I am so passionate about taking down the two party system. I just wanted the content shared to look quality 😭

Anyway, I'm in North Florida, thinking about how Gen Z is maturing and capable of stepping into leadership positions. How do we create a network that can really represent a common platform?

Self organized county delegates be on alert, you'll be outnumbered if you don't fill your leadership while I'm around.

I've been listening to the Bad Faith Podcast for a long time and i find her to be one of the most vocal and substantive advocates for the Green Party within independent leftist media. While i do have some small issues with her like trying to find common ground with obvious bad faith [lol] actors like Candace Owens overall i think she's one of the best people we have on our side.

Do you support her? Would you get behind her running for office under the GP if she ever decided to?
