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

Spring Into The 2021 Annual National Meeting! July 15-18: Registration Now OPEN Online Annual National Meeting Will Focus on Anti-Oppression and Anti-Racism Training The 2021 Green Party Annual National Meeting (ANM) will be held online, as the world's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic is not yet ready to guarantee a safe, in-person meeting. We will miss the opportunity to share space with Greens from across the country but we can take this online gathering as an opportunity for truly national work on some of the most pressing challenges for this party. We hope you will join us from July 15-July 18 in the spirit of this year's theme, "Dismantling Oppression, Building Solidarity: A Green Party For Everyone." Our registration form is now online. Registration fees will cover comprehensive training on anti-racism, anti-oppression and solidarity necessary for building our party as a powerful, equitable force for the liberation of all. Your fees also provide for the infrastructure and staff necessary to produce an online national meeting from multiple locations, plus online workshops, news conferences and more. We will also dedicate resources to accessibility assistance, such as for the vision-impaired, hearing-impaired and lack of access to a computer or Internet connection. Financial assistance in the form of a reduced or waived registration fee is available on the registration form. The Green Party strives to allow any Green to attend our national meetings. As the only political party that refuses corporate donations, we acknowledge a registration fee can be a financial burden for some Greens. Therefore, we never turn anyone away because of the cost of registration. Do you or someone you know have expertise in Anti-Racism and Anti-Oppression Training? Request For Proposals For Independent Consultant re: Anti-Racism & Anti-Oppression Training (DUE APRIL 9) Request for Proposals for Green Party Trainer(s) re: Anti-Racism & Anti-Oppression Training (DUE APRIL 9) Deadline For Participant-Submitted Workshops Extended to April 16 Working with expert facilitators in the area of Anti-Racism and Anti-Oppression training means reduced program time for participant-submitted workshops. However, in recognition of the importance of these as part of our ANMs, some time will be allocated for workshops. Any topic on Green Party work may be submitted with the requirement that Anti-Oppression content is embedded in the workshop presentation. Submit your workshop online by April 16. —Michael O'Neil, GreenLine Editor and Green Party Communications Manager Continue reading
