The Green Party supports Black Lives Matter
The National Black Caucus (NBC) of the Green Party (of the United States (GP) as well as the same Green Party support the concept and message that Black Lives Matter, not because only Black lives matter but because all lives matter; we insist that the nation and the systems of our nation that are inherently racist be held accountable and until Black lives matter we cannot truly be a nation where any lives matter.

Read moreStanding with the Uhuru Movement in the Bronx
The Bronx Greens hereby condemn the recent charges against the African People’s Socialist Party (the Uhuru Movement). As citizens and patriots, we call out these indictments as inherently:
- Racist
- A violation of US rights to freedom of association
- An outright transgression of the First Amendment – and human rights overall
Two barrels aim at African People's Socialist Party
The Green Party of St. Louis fully agrees with the right of African people to advocate and organize for the unification, liberation and self-determination of Africa and African People as laid out in the "Principles of Unity."
The FBI raid of July 29, 2022 was not just against the African People's Socialist Party (APSP). It was an attack on all working for social justice and liberation.

Read moreReparations and MLK's legacy
On the day of our nation's official celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, we wish you solidarity and strength. As Greens with a radical commitment to the pillars of Social Justice and Nonviolence, we are eager to commemorate and give praise to Dr. King's legacy.
The movement for Black liberation and justice has endured for generations, david. So why is it that we still have to say “Black lives matter?” Why must we still struggle for basic justice?
We need bold leaders in Congress willing to reintroduce legislation that would commission a study on the causes and effects of slavery, and its lingering impact on America. The findings of such an investigation will lead to reparations for African Americans. It is time for our leaders to show the courage and dedication MLK modeled during the civil rights movement.
We must support HR 40, the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act.
The Green Party of the United States is the ONLY national party whose platform has committed to full and complete reparations.
The Green Party is committed to ensuring the right to live free from discrimination and oppression, in all its forms.
We are also committed to ensuring no one is left behind in the march toward equality.
