On November 5, 1855, in the little city of Terre Haute, Indiana, a young man was born to local grocery store owners that, one day, would become, among other things; a railroad fireman, labor leader, twice elected official, great orator, and eventual Presidential candidate willing to stand up for his values, no matter how controversial they may be at that time.

“I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it,
and while there is a criminal element, I am of it,
and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.”

~ Eugene V. Debs [1918]

Still to this day, Eugene V. Debs is as relevant now as he was back in the days when he was organizing for workers’ rights, socialist and independent electoral campaigns, social justice, and world peace. The Green Party is helping to preserve Mr. Debs’ and his comrades’ legacy.

As we look towards the future and to perpetuating Debs’ legacy, we must continue building our party, recruiting and supporting new candidates, and getting our message out to the public. We can't do this without your help. That's why we are asking for your support as another election day comes around. We need strong voices outside the two parties of War and Wall Street.

Any contribution you can make, no matter how small, will go a long way towards supporting our efforts. We rely on the generosity of people like you to help us continue the fight for a more just and sustainable future. 

Stand with us, and contribute what you can, to help us in this ongoing struggle!

In solidarity,

Green Party of the United States

P.S. Our monthly sustaining donors are the lifeblood of the party and we are immensely grateful for them. If you haven’t already, consider joining the ranks of our Monthly Sustainers.

Outdoor political rally. Long believed to be an image of Debs at Canton, OH, June 16, 1918, but many features appear the same as in the preceding image of Debs addressing a crowd in Chicago in 1912. Definitely at variance with the following three photos in Debs trial matierals obtained from the NARA/Chicago.
