• Following the massive "Hands Off" demonstration on April 5, the Green Party asked its leaders to describe what the Green Party had its "Hands On."

Although I was a lifelong Democrat until 2024, I'd had my doubts about some Democrats in office. For the most part, I held my faith that many of them were determined to uplift the working class and remain on the right side of history.

Rise up and escalate BDS now! #Nakba77

The Nakba, meaning “catastrophe” in Arabic, has reached 77 years of mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians following the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. Your action is needed now more than ever against Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people. 

The Green Party of the United States condemns the Trump administration’s threatened deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, an Algerian citizen Green Card holder targeted for his pro-Palestine activism. The  Green Party also demands his  immediate release, and that he be returned to New York City pending the resolution of his court case.

The influence of apartheid Israel extends all over the world. Its supporters demand that anyone expressing anti-zionist viewpoints be ostracized, harassed, or arrested. Now, zionists have added demands that non-citizens speaking out against Israeli war crimes be deported from the U.S.

• Mahmoud Khalil was kidnapped from his Columbia University home, in the presence of his 8-month pregnant wife, by DHS/ICE agents on Saturday, March 8.

The issue with the actions taken by DHS, ICE and the US Government is a simple one. Armed agents of the state should not be kidnapping, arresting, detaining and/or attempting to deport legal residents of the United States for exercising their right to freedom of speech or political protest. It sets a dangerous precedent, one which would allow the US government to utilize armed agents to silence dissent and deny any resident, despite status, political freedom.

Mahmoud Khalil, a lawful permanent resident, recent graduate, and husband to a U.S. citizen who is eight months pregnant with their child, was dragged away from his Columbia University home by ICE this weekend at the behest of the White House.

His "crime"? Protesting genocide in Gaza.

The Green Party of the United States condemns the proposal by President Trump to permanently displace Palestinians from Gaza and their homeland. For more than 70 years, Palestinians have sought the right to return to their homes after being displaced by Israel and other colonial powers.

Greens also condemn the United States for failing to arrest Israel President Netanyahu, an indicted war criminal, when he came to Washington, DC to meet with Trump. It called on Trump and Congress to make clear that the U.S. strongly opposes the ongoing efforts by Netanyahu to break the ceasefire.

Good afternoon, What a beautiful room full of people fighting for justice!  

I am excited to be here because Frederick is where I went to high school, TJ class of 94, and where my mom still lives, and I am excited to see this kind of movement building happening here.

Wissam Charafeddine discusses the results of the 2024 election in Dearborn, Michigan. Recorded on January 26, 2025.

November’s election led to the welcome political demise of Republican Marc Molinaro, a representative not of the people of his district, but of the military-industrial complex, of the billionaire class, of the foreign governments of Israel and Ukraine. I am glad to see the back of this vile politician who also stoked the fires of xenophobia for attempted political gain.
