March 31st was International Transgender Visibility Day. It was by some degree of mistake that last year I came out as non-binary. I hadn’t thought about how races group by gender and when I ran a local 5K, I selected non-binary. I had been doing this on forms for years depending on the scope, so this was the first time I publicly gave any indication; I decided not to walk it back. I think I bring a unique perspective to these conversations, and at some other point in time I’m happy to say more detail, but not too much here and now.

Today we celebrate the dazzling diversity of the LGBTQIA+ community and recommit to building a world where everyone can live authentically, freely, and sustainably.

From its inception, the Green Party of the United States has championed LGBTQIA+ rights, embedding them in our platform and recognizing the urgency of addressing the profound challenges faced by these communities. 

On Saturday, May 24, 2025, Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood became the epicenter of a tense confrontation between law enforcement and protesters during a conservative Christian rally organized by Mayday USA. The event, held at Cal Anderson Park—a hub of Seattle’s LGBTQ+ community—was met with a vigorous counter-protest by approximately 500 individuals opposing the rally’s anti-trans and anti-queer rhetoric.

• Women Have Always Led—It’s Time to Stand with them!

• A message from the Green Party National Women's Caucus for International Women's Day and Women's History Month:

This International Women's Day, we reflect on the many women who have shaped history, fought for justice, and worked together to build a better world. For all of their contributions, what have they received? A system that still undervalues their labor, restricts their rights, and leaves too many behind.

From access to healthcare and reproductive rights, to equal pay and workplace protections, to freedom from gender-based violence, women are increasingly under attack. Today, we've seen women around the country and around the world rally, march, and demand equal rights, bodily autonomy, and an end to sexual violence and discrimination.

The Green Party has never wavered in its commitment to gender equity. Feminism and gender equity are core to our 10 Key Values. We have always fought for reproductive freedom, equal pay, and leadership opportunities for women—not just in words, but in action. While other parties debate whether a woman can lead, Greens have ensured that women do lead. Since 1996, every Green Party presidential ticket has included at least one woman!

We refuse to let the corporate and imperialist parties in Washington, DC, treat diversity, equity, and inclusion as political footballs. We are fighting for the Equal Rights Amendment, equal wages, economic justice for single mothers, and policies that uplift all women—not just those who can afford it.

This Women’s History Month, we ask you to stand with us. Your support helps us build a movement that prioritizes justice, equality, and true representation. Every donation fuels our fight for policies and candidates that empower women and dismantle systemic barriers

In Solidarity,

• A message from the Green Party National Women's Caucus for International Women's Day and Women's History Month:

Each year, on November 20th, the Green Party of the United States joins in honoring and recognizing Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR). TDOR is a worldwide event with the goal to raise awareness about discrimination and violence directed against transgender, intersex, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people.

The power of hope can't be understated, and on this Harvey Milk Day, I am hopeful about the future. As we honor the legacy of a leader who put his life on the line for queer liberation and social justice, we as Greens must remember to keep up the fight, and although things may seem dire now, remain hopeful.

• Webinar presented by the Diversity Committee of the Green Party on November 15, 2023

Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), the sadly still-needed worldwide event created to raise awareness about discrimination, violence and murder directed against all gender-diverse people and all people who step in any way outside gender stereotypes.

On the 54th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, we reflect on the progress towards equality we've made and the liberation we still must fight for. Only the Green Party can provide the holistic solutions we all so desperately need and stand strong in the face of bigotry and persecution.

Unlike the two Wall Street parties, the Green Party has always taken the position that we cannot compromise on issues of life or death for LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual and other gender, and romantic minority) communities.

As Pride Month winds down, the Illinois Green Party remembers the anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion. That event inspired grassroots organizations that grew into a nationwide Queer Liberation Movement known as Pride. Unlike the two Wall Street parties, the Green Party has always taken the position that we cannot compromise on issues of life or death for LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual and other gender and romantic minority) communities. We believe that addressing the deep issues facing LGBTQIA+ communities today requires deep solutions.
