• International Anti-Corruption Day 2022 - #UnitedAgainstCorruption

WASHINGTON, DC — The Green Party of the United States strongly supports the efforts of governments and organizations to combat corruption and promote transparency. Green Party Banking and Monetary Reform (BMRC) and Eco-Action Committee members observe International Anti-Corruption Day to highlight the prevalence of corruption and its negative effect on people's lives worldwide.

The Green Party joins the rail workers reform caucus, Railroad Workers United, in calling on Congress to instead use the opportunity to empower workers, including by adopting publicly-owned railways, paid family and sick leave for workers, and expanded union rights by passing the PRO Act as well funding the NLRB to ensure union rights are protected.

The EcoAction Committee of the Green Party of the U.S. criticized the Biden administration as the United States once again impeded climate action at the recently concluded COP27 in Egypt.

“The head of the United Nations and leading scientists have repeatedly warned that the time to avoid climate collapse is running out and that the commitments made by governments worldwide are grossly inadequate. While the GOP have been climate deniers, the Democrats have long promoted climate delay, blocking critical action to halt fossil fuel burning as quickly as possible. The U.S. has been the biggest contributor to climate change and under Biden and Kerry it remains one of the biggest obstacles to saving life on the planet,” said Mark Dunlea, co-chair of EcoAction.
