Gray Panthers


As I've been brainstorming Free Speech TV's upcoming acquisitions strategy, i came across an organization known as The Gray Panthers. They are "an intergenerational, multi-issue organization working to create a society that puts the needs of people over profit, responsibility over power, and democracy over institutions." Founded by Maggie Kuhn, the panthers work on keeping medicare public, fighting for universal health care, legalizing medical marijuana, oppose the death penalty, end nuclear testing, create a Cabinet-level Department of Peace, break up media conglomerates, and fight for public school funding. More about their policies can be found here.
