Mariner East pipeline opponent Christina Digiulio, also known as PK Ditty, is running for governor of Pennsylvania as the Green Party candidate, saying she wants to use the forum to advocate for residents affected by industrial pollution. "It's like giving a voice to people who have been neglected, in my opinion," Digiulio said. "There are people in Pennsylvania in 2022 without water. That's a basic human right. And our own agencies aren't standing up for them, it seems they stand up for the industry more." Continue reading

On Friday March 4th, conversations regarding climate justice and the two-party system took center stage in the Union's Morcott Room. The North Carolina Green Party senate candidate, Matthew Hoh, and NC Green Party co-chair, Tony N'dege, spoke about their experiences with American politics and their foray into activism. The Green party brands itself as an "alternate party," apart from the dominant Democratic and Republican parties. It focuses on addressing environmental issues and the inequities that they cause through a model of grassroots activism. Continue reading

After recent world events, I am even more committed to the Left Unity Slate. The slate is a cooperative project of candidates from the two corporate-free — and peace-loving — political parties: the Peace and Freedom Party and the Green Party. We are the candidates who know there are solutions. On a personal/global note about solutions, I remember my Air Force dad saying, after 9/11, "Wars never solve anything, and the people who send you there don’t go there." Continue reading

We call for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the buildup of US troops near Ukraine. The answer to the situation in Ukraine must take a course of demilitarization, negotiations, and respect for the fundamental rights of all people to live in peace and safety. We stand not with any military empire, but with the people of Ukraine, Russia, Europe, and the millions of working American families who lack access to affordable healthcare, food, and housing as unchecked empire building drains our society of its resources. We call on the people of these nations, including our own, to take a stand and demand a peaceful resolution to this dangerous escalation. Fundamentally, the root cause of the unfurling crisis is greed and competition for energy markets and other commercial desires, and the delusions of crackpot "realist" geopolitics that dominate thinking in DC, London, Moscow, and Kyiv.

Want to vote for one of the most prominent antiwar activists in the United States? Thanks so much to all our supporters who generously donated to NC Green Party member Matthew Hoh's campaign for US Senate! Because of supporters like you, Matthew has raised more than $6,000 in just 10 days since his launch, which is very good for us all things considered. Matthew has also received public support from Chris Hedges, Jill Stein, and more activists and organizers in our movement for economic, social, racial, and environmental justice—in a word, for an ecosocialist, anti-capitalist future. This campaign is already exciting! Our focus now is to make sure Matt gets on the ballot as a Green candidate for the November election. And so: Continue reading
