WHEN OUR Green Party of New York campaign decided on the campaign slogan of Demand More! we had three points in mind. First, we wanted to “raise our expectations,” as Ralph Nader always enjoins us to do. In New York, that means, first of all, clean government. Public corruption is rampant. (And as Ralph always points out, we need to raise our expectation is terms of donations for our campaigns.) Continue reading

(Albany) Howie Hawkins kicked off his general election campaign by appealing to progressives who voted for Nixon, Williams, and Teachout in the recent primary. He called on them to support the Green gubernatorial ticket of Hawkins and Jia Lee, as well as Michael Sussman for Attorney General and Mark Dunlea for Comptroller.

Since I ran for vice president in 2016, I have traveled the United States and talked with many Greens and others. A key to getting to the next level as a political party is showing we can challenge Democrats and win. If Greens successfully challenge leaders of the Democratic Party, suddenly many people who are fed up with the corruption of the Democratic Party and its subservience to big business interests will see they have an alternative.

The maneuver demonstrates the political crisis in the union leadership today, and compelled UFCW Local 7 to withdraw form the body on the principled ground that unions are required to support union members as an immediate political priority.

The 2018 Farm Bill is a weapon aimed at dairy farming, driving family farm bankruptcies and damaging rural economies. Federal policies set the price of farm milk BELOW the cost of production, a price of $15.50 for a cost of $21.39, guaranteeing extraordinary losses at least seven of the last eight years. As our government re-negotiates trade deals with Canada, we must resist the temptation to solve America’s dairy crisis by messing in the well-balanced, farmer-supported, supply management system of Canada.
