Single sheet brochure, folded into thirds having six panels. Issued to promote Kovel as candidate for the Green Party Nomination for President in the March 7 [2000] primary [in California]. Brochure offers background on why one should vote for the candidate, and his platform: "A Program to Put People Before Profits". 3-1/2" x 8-1/2". Minor wear at corners. Very Good condition.
Kovel received 6,689 votes in the California Primary, representing just 5.6% of the Green Party votes. The rest of the votes went to California's own Ralph Nader, who went on to become the Green Party's candidate for President. (League of Women Voters / smartvoter.org). Kovel was known as a founder of eco-socialism (Wikipedia) and the "author of more than 10 books about systemic racism, ecology and global warming and other topics" (his obituary on Democracy Now!)
