NEW YORK, March 14, 2018 – Green Party of New York leaders today said that the verdict in the Percoco trial showed the need for strong ethics reform in New York State government.

Rev. Edward Pinkney speaking at California State University
Below are excerpts from a speech by Rev. Edward Pinkney at California State University in February, 2018. Green Pages recently ran a cover story about Rev. Pinkney's experience as a political prisoner in America.
"There are 400 families in America who make an average of $97,000 per hour and the people [are fighting just to] make $15 and the majority of us don't say nothing.
