We Are All Muslim
The time is now. We are hearing reports of Donald Trump's plans and who he will appoint in his administration. We need to RESIST!
The Trump administration plans to target disenfranchized communities of color and has already called for a mass registration of Muslims. This is absurd.

Next steps for the Baltimore Greens
On Monday evening, November 21, 2016, members and supporters of the Baltimore Green Party met to discuss the recent election and to lay out plans for 2017. A large diverse turnout of at least 70 people attended. The meeting was an idea session -- people making suggestions on actions, issues and outreach for the party.
One suggestion from a member of Margaret Flowers campaign staff applied more to a national rather than local effort. He suggested that a survey of campaigns around the country be taken of lessons learned from running for office, stating "we can learn a lot from each others successes and failures".

Run for Office in 2017!
The 2016 elections are over, and the filing deadline for the 2017 elections in Illinois is coming up fast!

Alabama Green Party Statement on the Presidential Election
November 12, 2016 – Despite being the least popular presidential candidate in recent history, Donald Trump has been elected president of the United States. Trump ran a campaign based on astounding levels of xenophobia and racism, calling for a ban on Muslims entering the country and a wall spanning the entire US-Mexico border. This campaign came under fire seemingly once a week with revelations of Trump’s lack of personal integrity and deep misogyny. After he openly boasted about sexually assaulting women, twelve women came forward with stories of being assaulted by Trump. On November 28, Trump will appear in court to face charges of fraud stemming from Trump University. In the face of all of these scandals, which would usually destroy a political career, Trump was able to soundly win the presidency.

The 2018 Election Campaign starts NOW!
If we've learned one thing about the recent election campaign, it is that the Republican and Democratic parties don't care about us or our planet. Whomever is elected will no doubt govern in the same distructful manner as their cohorts have for decades. Only the Jill Stein and Baraka Ajamu ticket addressed the issues promoting people, planet, and peace over profit.
Together we can change that. We can turn Wisconsin Green!
