Please subscribe! Husband and wife team Kimberly Wilder and Ian Wilder are the force behind Wilderside Media and this Green Youtube channel. The Wilder's life has always veered between art and politics. When they got together in the late 1990's, Kimberly and Ian ratcheted up their activities. Together, Ian and Kimberly Wilder published chapbooks; gave dozens of poetry readings; wrote newspaper articles; and hosted events. Kimberly: Distemper as Muse Kimberly began her awakening from just another suburbanite to a political activist and cultural worker with cranky, yet empowering, letters to the editor. At a master class in poetry, Mark Rudman proclaimed of Kimberly: "Distemper is your muse." Ian: Beautiful words At another master class, Russian poet Yevegeny Yevtushenko proclaimed Ian's snowflake poem, "perfect". Ian has performed spoken word as a part of the near-mythic folk groovin' band Nylon & Steel, and was co-founding lyricist for the duo Spiritwalkers. His work with Nylon & Steel can be found on the album Slip Behind the Molecule. One of the most memorable readings the Wilders gave together was as a group with George Wallace and Kate Kelly at the Lowell, Massachusetts Kerouac festival. Political Trajectory With Nader's 2000 presidential campaign, the Wilders were drawn back into politics. Within four years they had co-founded the Babylon Greens at their kitchen table; run the first full ticket of Greens in their town's history; got Kimberly twice elected to the Executive Committee of Green Party of New York State (GPNYS); and then Ian to the position of GPNYS State Party Co-chair. In early 2006, Ian created the peace slate concept which was used statewide by the GPNYS and nationally by GPUS. In 2006 , Ian stepped back from state politics after retaining the right to enroll Green in NY by succesfully getting Malachy McCourt on the ballot for Governor , and Kimberly returned to the GPNYS Executive Committee for a third term. Kimberly & Ian developed the Long Island for Malachy committee which increased the Long Island vote totals for governor by at least 42%. The website they created to underpin this effort was archived by the Library of Congress as an example of the 2006 election. www.LongIslandForMalachy.com Kimberly is a very active (though non-voting) member of the Diversity Committee of the national Green Party. She is the interim Coordinator of a peace and justice non-profit. She also works on education advocacy, and is the Press Secretary of the Green Party of Suffolk County. Ian keeps up with the local climate change activists, and does more than his share of the technical aspects of the Wilderside Media video and blogging work. Ian is the Secretary of the Green Party of Suffolk and currently represents Long Island to the GP-US Presidential Campaign Support Committee. Ian & Kimberly currently have the Green Party Show, a public access TV show on Woodbury Cablevision Channel 20 on Sundays at 11 am. You can also see the same shows on videos posted at this blog. They are always busy with activist work such as organizing: a local UFPJ Peace Vigil; a pro-day laborer/Love Thy Neighbor Rally; a Step-It-Up 2007 event at the Solar Cafe; Green Gatherings in Babylon, and participating in such historical moments as the Smith Haven Mall 4,000 Soldiers/One million Iraqis: Enough! Demonstration.
