This week's GreenLine includes news of ballot access victory in California and heartbreak in New York. As Greens across the country continue to organize and campaign under this country's inherently unjust electoral power structure, let's celebrate those breaking through and support those struggling to overcome the duopoly's latest crackdown. Keep fighting for the better world we all deserve! —Michael O'Neil, GreenLine Editor and Green Party Communications Manager 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

Today marks an international day of action for peace in Ukraine. We hope you are able to participate passionately, safely and represent the Green Party well in your local actions. As you can see throughout this edition of GreenLine, Russia's invasion of Ukraine looms large over our party, as it does over much of the world. Times like this demonstrate the necessity of the Green Party and our principled commitment to the pillar of Non-Violence. Our country needs more voices with the conviction to say "Stop the War in Ukraine. Russian Troops Out. No NATO Expansion." We are fighting a political and media power structure that is ghoulishly eager to use Putin's moral transgressions to wash away any US and NATO accountability for their years of reckless and self-serving fueling of this conflict. At this daunting moment we are fortunate to have someone like Matthew Hoh as a candidate for US Senate — a voice for peace who knows the US war machine inside and out — with the moral fiber and credibility to speak necessary truths. I hope you will take a moment to watch and share Matthew's rebuttal to President Biden's State of the Union Address, the complete video of which you can find below. Peace and solidarity! —Michael O'Neil, GreenLine Editor and Green Party Communications Manager Continue reading
