Cynthia McKinney will be the keynote speaker on Saturday, November 7, when Minnesota Greens gather at their fall membership meeting. McKinney is a former six-term Congresswoman from Georgia and the Green Party's candidate for president in 2008. She has been noted in the past year for her efforts to get medical supplies and other humanitarian aid into Gaza and for being jailed by the Israeli government.

The meeting, which will focus on Green Party electoral strategy in 2010, will be held in the Hennepin County Government Center at 300 So. 6th Street in downtown Minneapolis. McKinney will speak at 12:30. All members and friends of the Green Party are invited.
