 2120 Allston Way, just east of Shattuck Avenue and downtown Berkeley Bart. 
 There will be a small reception, and a donation of $10 will be requested at 
 the door.\n \nCynthia McKinney has proven that she is a leader. She was the 
 first ever African American woman from the state of Georgia to be elected 
 to Congress. In an exclusive interview with Wikinews, former Congresswoman 
 Cynthia McKinney states why she switched to the Green Party. "Due to 
 the importance of environmental issues, Green issues are the issues of 
 today. The Ten Key Values of the Green Party stress us getting along with 
 each other in harmony with the planet that gives us life."\n \nWhen 
 asked about how she would handle Iraq she replied, "I would instruct 
 the Joint Chiefs to draw up a plan for the orderly withdrawal of all U.S. 
 troops from the country. I would dismantle our military bases in the area, 
 and I would also demand that U.S. and other international corporations 
 relinquish any claims to Iraqi oil or other resources and withdraw as 
 well."\n\nMumia Abu Jamal, live from Prison Radio May 1st reports: 
 "McKinney offers not just the illusion, but the reality of change. Her 
 record of speaking out against the U.S. war machine, the 
 military-industrial complex, and other issues of concern is head and 
 shoulders above any of the other candidates running for office, on either 
 party."\n \nOn the local level, District 1 Oakland School Board 
 Candidate Tennessee Reed states, “I will insist that the resources 
 available to schools in the Hills will also be available to the schools in 
 the Flats.”  Her book, "Spell Albuquerque" about her education 
 in the East Bay, will be published in the Fall by Counterpunch Press.\n 
 \nDrop by Anna Jazz Island on Sunday, May 11th for an afternoon of music, 
 poetry, and conversation on the real issues that Americans are facing in 
 this election year.\n \nIf you’re interested in an interview, images, or
