The April membership meeting of the Green Party of Philadelphia (GPOP) endorsed the Earth Quaker Action Team's (EQAT) "Walk for Green Jobs and Justice". The walk is part of EQAT's larger campaign, "Power Local Green Jobs," which demands that PECO -- PA's largest utility company -- invest in locally generated solar power that benefits low-income communities and communities of color. The Green Party platform is closely aligned with the mission of this campaign, as it highlights several of the Greens stated values. Chris Robinson, the GPOP membership secretary, points out that the Green Party platform says, "Greens support science-based policies to curb climate change. We have an ambitious plan to make drastic changes quickly to avert global catastrophe. We will expend maximum effort to preserve a planet friendly to life as we know it by curtailing greenhouse gas emissions and actively removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere." Continue reading

Cleveland OH: The Green Party of Ohio has issued a statement opposing the latest attempt by First Energy to receive rate-payer borne subsidies to save itself from years of mismanagement. Back in December 2015, we publicly opposed the bailout deal that was being asked of the Public Utility Commission of Ohio.

Once again, First Energy is threatening to shutter the plants if financial help is not forthcoming, the same threat that was made in 2015. Continue reading
