Green Star is the official publication of the Green Party of Pennsylvania Working toward a future where people and planet are valued, and our government represents all of us. The Violence of Nuclear Energy by Co-chair Alan Smith, Green Party of Pennsylvania I awaken, head to the bathroom and look out the window.

The Latinx Caucus of the Green Party expresses our deepest sympathy to the victims of the deplorable shooting in El Paso Texas and their families. This shooting, yet another senseless act of violence that is part of an ongoing epidemic of gun violence, was focused towards Latinx who have repeatedly been vilified by President Donald Trump. The rhetoric of the President made the terrible violence that occurred in El Paso not just likely but inevitable. This was the inevitable result of a relentless dehumanizing of Latinx including those seeking safety at our southern border, those seeking to rebuild and strengthen their communities in Puerto Rico, and those seeking to share in the "American Dream" through fair access to education and jobs.
