A Word About International Peace Month The month of August commemorated the 96th annual International Peace Month. TIME magazine inaugurated International Peace Month in August of 1926, when 4,000 pacifists from 30 countries assembled for the International Democratic Peace Conference. For almost 100 years, generations have carried the torch for global, peaceful solutions to resolve conflict — even when those paths require more time and discussion. As we continue to resist and campaign against the United States' proxy war with Russia and the push toward more militarization, surveillance, and national enmity, let's remember the communities on every side of each conflict organizing for de-escalation and justice. As residents in the center of empire, it’s our responsibility to expose how war and militarism undermine every aspect of the struggle for a more sustainable and equitable planet. When we contact Joe Biden to demand a Green New Deal, we need to talk about cutting the military budget by 50%, to fund it. When we demand the release of Julian Assange and other whistleblowers, we do so knowing they are facing persecution precisely because they have exposed the Pentagon’s war crimes and lies. We're truly grateful for our Green candidates, organizers and community who are building toward peace wherever they are — we work diligently to raise awareness of your efforts.  Peace is priceless and war is costly — for the planet, our families and our society. Let us “wage peace” through transformative programs like Single Payer Healthcare, a Universal Basic Income, and a Green New Deal for all communities to show what a world beyond war can look like.

Last weekend, it might have felt strange to observe a holiday celebrating independence and freedom, considering recent news. It’s important to remember that freedom is a constant struggle. You aren’t alone in that struggle, and there is no one we’d rather be fighting alongside than you. “The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” — Albert Camus — Daniel Bumbarger, National Lavender Greens Caucus Continue reading

Over the past few weeks, we have witnessed scenes of terrible violence and reprehensible responses from our elected leaders and government. It can be difficult to keep our outrage from turning to despair. At the same time, the month of June commemorates strength, progress and courage as LGBTQ+ Pride Month. We can reconcile the gravity of current events with the annual celebration of Pride by drawing on the lessons of movements for LGBTQ+ liberation for hope and inspiration. Let's keep working together to make our communities safer for all, in the spirit of love and solidarity!  —Michael O'Neil, GreenLine Editor and Green Party Communications Manager Continue reading

Happy Mother's Day The origins of Mother’s Day has values that speak to the Green values of today. Women of the time organized for peace, fighting poverty and alleviating unsanitary living conditions for poor women and children. The Green Party stands against wars and imperialism that brutalize, displace and traumatize women and children. Our 10 Key Values resonate with the early iterations of a “Mother’s Day” that had peace, equal rights and access to child care as its focus. What does Mother’s Day 2022 offer the over 17 million U.S. women and their children living in poverty today? The Democrats have failed to renew the Child Tax Credit that provided critical assistance during the pandemic. In the long term, neither corporate political party has prioritized a national initiative to eliminate poverty and hunger in the richest country in the world. In fact, their positions on war, climate and health care contribute to the loss of life in our most vulnerable communities. On this Mother’s Day let’s honor the women who nurture us by building a political movement that promotes peace and non-violence here and abroad. Cutting billions from the bloated military budget will give the gift of improved Medicare-For-All, food security and universal, federally funded child care to all families. It takes a political party like the Green Party to replace aggression and occupation with disarmament and diplomacy and we need your support to promote that project for peace. —Michael O'Neil, GreenLine Editor and Green Party Communications Manager Continue reading
