The Green Party is now the major anti-genocide, pro-worker, anti-fascist political voice in the US. We doubled our vote count in the last election to become the #1 people powered national party, exceeding by five-fold the next highest vote count. At the same time, support for the major parties has plummeted to an all time low, with the Democratic Party even more disliked than Republicans, in spite of the backlash against the Trump debacle.

More Americans than ever are leaving the duopoly, and people are clamoring for the solutions we put on the national political map – from Medicare for All to free higher education, the Green New Deal, a foreign policy based on international law/human rights and more.

With the adoption of an vibrant pro-worker agenda, the Green Party of the UK has had a meteoric rise to become the 2nd most popular party, exceeding both Labor and Conservatives, and coming in just one percentage point behind Reform, the far right party that is now the UK’s most popular. In this era of turbulent transition, it’s time for us to do the same and rocket forward. 

Challenging corrupt power is the order of the day, in the voting booth AND in the street. The need has never been so urgent. The possibilities have never been so strong. This presentation will summarize some of the key background and strategies that underscore: We are the ones we’ve been waiting for!
