GreenLine — March 6, 2022

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 |

Green Party Calls for Ceasefire and Diplomatic Solution to Ukraine CrisisThe Green Party is calling on the leaders of the United States, NATO and Russia to immediately initiate diplomatic talks together with Ukrainian leadership to resolve the crisis in Ukraine. On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a ground-and-air invasion throughout Ukraine, including the capital city of Kyiv. The Green Party condemns Russia’s military incursion, which is in violation of international law, regardless of real or perceived provocations. We also recognize the US government and Western powers are responsible for 30 years of provocations by failing to respect the promise to not expand NATO after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. This reckless antagonism between world powers has led to war with the potential for massive destruction, environmental damage and loss of life. Read more...
