My Top 3 Priorities

  • Our major initiatives are policy proposals designed to enact our three principle foundation documents.Ending “White Privilege and White Supremacy", within our national, state and local charter's.
  • Our campaign is focused on an issue within the party which she’d become aware of: de-Segregating the party through "browning."
  • Teaching our citizens about the two features that contributed to the collapse of advanced civilizations in the past: the stretching of resources due to the strain placed on the ecological carrying capacity, and the economic stratification of society.

Biography

From age 18 -she registered to vote as a democratic only supporting environmentally conscience, progressive, liberals in the party. She voted for former US Vice President Al Gore presidential bid in 2000. It was his and DNC failure to count voters in the state of Florida in that pushed her out of "his" party into “we” GP! She has been a card carrying Green Party (GP) member since March 2001. Ms Moyowasifza-Curry objective in joining the Green Party was and is about building a permanent third political party in the United States of America that is neither funded nor controlled by corporations and corporate interests. For the past 15 years she has worked within the Green Party of the United States at the local, state, national & international arena to emphasize a direct action strategy and a tactical plan within the current traditional electoral political system that is geared toward children, youth, women, peoples of color, immigrants, independents and progressives in a clear and measurable manner. In 2008 she sought to be the Green Party Vice-Presidential Nominee as a direct method to set up a national leadership training program for People of Color (PoC) to ensure "We Greens" would be equipped and had a solid line of PoC candidates to lead the our nation long term. She from day one of joining knew de-Segregate our party by "browning" given that by the end of this century our nation won’t be any longer be a majority European. 

 

As an example of her leadership, former Congress Woman Cynthia McKinney on September 10, in a letter to the Steering Committee of the Green Party of the United States, stated she would not seek the Green Party nomination for president. It’s Ms Moyowasifza-Curry who orchestrated and supported Ms. Kinney’s return as a GP POTUS hopeful by setting up a fundraising and exploratory visit to California. Thus in mid-October, McKinney filed with the FEC. She formally announced her candidacy with a video on her website and on YouTube on December 16, 2007. Ms Moyowasifza Curry was the first Campaign Manager for McKinney/ Clemente 2008.

 

 

She has successfully identified, encouraged and supported People of Color Green Party VP 2016 hopefuls, we could ensure they would be equipped to run and lead our national political party. To continue this effort, during her current nationwide campaign tours she have been conducting recruitment and candidate trainings. Both her campaign have been focused on ensuring every registered Green Party member is an effective instrument of change. She see “We Greens” as the key individuals on links to create a local, regional, state, national and international “change network” that will move our nation and our world. Further, that “We Greens, can start the need for permanent structural changes in and for our nation over the next 60 years before the United States turns 300 years old on July 4th, 2076.
