Co-Chairs Corner

Bruce Dixon (1950–2019)

On Behalf of the Green Party State of Florida we honor the Life of Mr. Bruce Dixon by recognizing and commending the Revolutionary work he accomplished throughout the years: A former Black Panther, Co-Chair of Georgia Green Party, an Editor with the Black Agenda Report, and so many other hats and titles belonged to Bruce. He constantly challenged the development and integrity of the Green Party. Laid out the plan for those of us who THOUGHT we were Organizers! He gave his constant formula on how grassroots organizing should be if success was to be the end result. There are so many things to be said about this powerful COMRADE. One thing for sure, his candor and leadership will be truly missed.

Bruce we salute you as you take your seat with the Ancestors!
