A Proutist in Democratic Clothing
with Mayor Mark Friedman
Mark Friedman has been a Proutist for fifty years and has worked to integrate Proutist principles and the teaching of P.R. Sarkar into a long career in public service. He currently serves as the CEO of the Eden Health District which focuses on pandemic response. He serves on many community non-profit boards including the PROUT Research Institute, the Oakland Promise, Supplybank.org, and the large public hospital Alameda Health System. He is also the Chair of the Board of the East Bay Community Foundation with a $500 million endowment and the mission to create a just East Bay, centered in Oakland, California.
Mark's political career includes three terms as Mayor of El Cerrito, California and serving as an elected delegate for Barack Obama to the Democratic National Convention in 2008, exactly 40 years after he was beaten by the police outside the Democratic convention in Chicago while protesting the war in Vietnam. He was appointed by former Governor Jerry Brown to chair the California State Advisory Council on Early Learning and Care.
Mark's presentation will center on the challenges and opportunities for A Proutist in Democratic Clothing to steer society towards the eventual establishment of Prout as the guiding force for social, environmental, economic, and political change. The talk will offer ample space for frank discussions about where Proutists can be effective and where they risk getting co-opted by a corrupt and largely bankrupt system of pseudo democracy.
