Jill Stein, Green Party candidate for president, will speak Friday before a local advocacy group concerned with the impact of unsustainable population and economic growth.

Stein, a physician from Massachusetts, was the party’s nominee in 2012, when she garnered almost 500,000 votes. She is currently leading opponent Bill Kreml in the Green Party primary.

Advocates for a Sustainable Albemarle Population, or ASAP, will host the meeting, which will begin at 7 p.m. in Room A of the Albemarle County Office Building.

Anyone interested in attending can contact Dave Shreve at cdavidshreve@gmail.com.

An ASAP news release notes that the discussion is not an endorsement of Stein’s candidacy.
