This workshop will explore how the Green Party can grow our ranks by appealing to “fringe” issues that show corruption and the need for accountability. Foundational issues like workers’ rights and living wage, Medicare For All, fighting climate change, and opposing war, are primary demands.

However, fringe issues are a way into the hearts and minds of many Americans. Think JFK; other 60’s assassinations; 9/11 and more. The Green Party US platform calls on Greens to fight the endemic corruption of the military industrial complex, the national security / surveillance state, and corporate domination. Demanding investigation into the September 11th, 2001 false flag event, calling for democratization of the monetary system, demanding justice for Covid, challenging the power of the surveillance state, for example, are issues the Green Party should emphasize, and if we did more loudly, we could expand our appeal as champions for democracy and justice.

This workshop will provide rhetorical tactics to advance fringe issues that discredit the power elite, and show the need for a Green Party that demands accountability and justice.
