The state currently rebates those revenues fully to stock traders. Hawkins is the Green Party's presidential candidate. He was the party's candidate for governor three times against Cuomo.

SYRACUSE, NY – Howie Hawkins, the Green Party presidential candidate, said today that Joe Biden's silence on Trump's failed COVID-19 response makes him complicit in the widespread deaths and economic destruction."The US has 4% of the world's people, but 25% of its COVID-19 cases and deaths. Trump gave up. He's a loser. He should be charged with negligent mass murder. But Biden's silence makes him an accomplice," Hawkins said. Continue reading

By Howie Hawkins One of my first campaign stops in June 2019 after announcing my candidacy was in Mobile, Alabama, where among the group I spoke to was Chikesia Clemons. I didn’t know she would be there, but I had heard about her more than a year before she became aware of my candidacy. Chikesia was in the national news in April 2018 after she was assaulted by police for non-criminal behavior in a Waffle House. The case was covered by network news, the Washington Post, Teen Vogue, Shaun King, and many others. Benjamin Crump, who has represented the families of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, took her case. Rev. Al Sharpton went down to show support. Continue reading

Urges Both Parties To Rewrite Bills So They Are Adequate For The Crises The Green Party candidates for president and vice president, Howie Hawkins and Angela Walker have published Red Lines for COVID and Economic Recovery, which describes the Republican and Demoratic proposals as a danger to public health and the economy. "The bill proposed by the Republicans will turn schools and workplaces into superspreaders in their communities. It fails to include the essential steps of rapid testing, hundreds of thousands of tracers, and fully-funded COVID treatment, which are needed to safely re-open the economy," said Howie Hawkins. "The Democrats have put forward an inadequate bill and failed to alert Republicans to red lines that are essential in a successful bill. The two parties' proposals will spread the pandemic and deepen the economic collapse." Continue reading

Howie Hawkins, The 2020 Presidential Nominee, Ain’t Lost In The Sauce I have a soft spot for the grassroots underdog. It’s endearing, their rabid challenge of the institutional leash, tugging to the point of asphyxiation for just a whiff of principle. Rebellion is a sexy peg no matter how you slice it. I can’t help but cheer from the corner of my mouth. Continue reading

Progress is inevitable While Trump and his kind continue to fight tooth and nail in a campaign fueled by hate and fear, they are growing weaker every single day. Trump is falling in his polls, consistently becoming even more of a laughingstock on the world stage with every single day, and proving beyond any shadow of a doubt that he is the...

The US Senate returned to work this week after a two-week vacation during which COVID-19 exploded and the economy imploded. The moment of truth has now arrived. Will the House and Senate now bring forth a Covid relief package adequate to the Covid health and economic crises? The last six months of the pandemic and economic collapse show that the two governing parties are presiding over a failed state. Most other organized societies have test, contract trace, and quarantine programs that have suppressed community spread of the virus and enabled a safe reopening of businesses and schools. The two major parties in the US have continued their dogmatic faith that private enterprise alone can deliver health care and economic recovery. It has been a dismal failure. Continue reading

Syracuse, NY / Florence, SC, July 22, 2020  –  The Hawkins/Walker Green Party presidential ticket today urged the Census to count every person living in the United States and opposed an order signed by President Trump yesterday to not count undocumented immigrants. Hawkins/Walker described the directive to not include noncitizens as “another disgraceful act of prejudice by President Trump.” Continue reading
