Save the 418 Project

Dear City Council members,
I wish to express my support for the broadening of the 418 Project’s use permit from “dance studio” to multi-use facility (including the ability to host events with recorded music). The 418 Project is the spirit of Santa Cruz in action, a grassroots, community driven performance space that provides an affordable […]

Green Party founded in home of Gay Man

[The world’s first Green Party started in Bob Brown’s living room in Tasmania
in the early 1970s. He’s one of two Green elected members of the upper house of

Editors,
As a member of the Green Party since 1990, the unthinking perpetuation of simplistic stereotypes and factual inaccuracies in Michael Finnegan’s article (”Dissenting Greens See Chance to Grow”) irritated me immensely. First of all, the […]
