The Green Party picked its presidential nominee last month, it’s Jill Stein; Stein’s pick for running mate was Cheri Honkala.

The Green’s Vice Presidential nominee is also the national coordinator for the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign.

We aired the first half of our interview when Honkala was in town last Friday.

In this second half, we spoke about ballot access for candidates that are independent from the two large political parties.
