Steven J Schmidt - SJS / Reflecting on the Drafting of the founding platform of the U.S. Green Party

In the mid-1990s, Zuma Cafe was an unlikely place to be the site for a New Mexico Green Party member to be renting a back room in which he could write a political party platform. The New Mexico Green Party platform that he worked up for a 1994 campaign that turned the fledgling state party into a legally certified "major party with ballot standing" served as a model for the national party that was being proposed. I worked for many months leading up to a 1996 Green convention in LA and then many more months leading up to a large convention in Denver where the "official platform" was voted to be the U.S. Green Party Platform and at the center of a new application to the Federal Election Commission, which approved the legal standing of the new U.S. Green Party and national committee.

Looking back at Zuma's, I would add one note. The Santa Fe Institute in its pioneering work to study interconnections in systems proved profoundly valuable, as I worked to put forward new Green ideas bringing together politics, science, key values and sustainability strategies.
