Green Party Leader Supports Rent Control in PA

By Alex Casper (they them)

Early in August, Seattle Socialist City Councilmember Kshama Sawant brought forward legislation to set universal rent control to cap rent increases with inflation. Cornel West, running for the Green Party nomination for president, endorsed the plan.

We have results from our special election and exciting news from our new Ballot Access Coordinator!

And above that we have two active political campaigns that are pushing towards the November general elections.

DNC Continues Its Failed Experiment

July 31, 2023  —  By Denise Binion, Mountain Party Chair

2024's elections are right around the corner.  The time to organize is now!  The Green Party of Texas wants you organized & informed before the conventions.

Our First In-Person State Committee Meeting was held June 10, 2023. The future of the Green Party of New York was discussed and an Eco-Action Committee was approved. The GPNY Eco-Action Committee will complement national work on climate and take action around state-level legislation and campaigns. Mark Dunlea is spearheading this committee. To learn more, contact him at [email protected]. During the afternoon session of the meeting, Marco DaCosta gave a talk and slideshow about Greens in Power in Brazil, and presented some ideas that could be used by Greens in the U.S.

This is an exciting time to be Green in Northwest Indiana! From our focus on grassroots action right here in the region, our local group of passionate environmentalists and justice advocates are working hard to make a difference. We will be out again this year at several festivals and parades to share what we have been doing for our communities and the visions we have for improving the quality of our natural environment and the quality of our local communities. Consider joining us as we plan our summer activities to engage and improve Northwest Indiana.
