Hello Friend,

Time is rapidly running out to avoid climate collapse. The United Nations says that the continuing failure of the world’s governments to enact radical climate action means we will pass the 1.5° C target to limit global warming by the 2030’s.

The Greens are the one-party demanding system change as a response to climate change. We must replace capitalism’s focus on perpetual growth and maximization of profit with an economy and political system based on the common good and sustainability. Humans are driving the sixth mass extinction of species. We need radical action to protect biodiversity and the Rights of Nature.

The Green Party first launched a call for an Ecosocialist Green New Deal in 2010, combining a ten-year plan to transition to 100% renewable energy and zero emissions with an Economic Bills of Rights including a guaranteed living wage job and income, single payer universal health care, affordable housing, and the right to a quality education, including college. The Greens support at least a 50% cut in the military budget as one way to finance the clean energy transition.

The Greens are the only major party standing up to the power and campaign donations of the fossil fuel industry, having led the fight against fracking of natural gas and the call to halt all new fossil fuel infrastructure. 

We will not solve the climate crisis by giving more money to hedge funds to invest in renewable energy and false climate solutions like carbon capture technology, nuclear, blue hydrogen, and biomass. Our Earth Day to May Day campaign highlights the need for the climate movement to build partnerships with our movement for social change, including BLM, LGBTQ+, health care, environmental justice, and worker and immigrants’ rights.

April 10 is also the day we celebrate the 4 Pillars and 10 Key Values. If you are able, please consider donating to the Green Party. Your support helps us promote a Green agenda.
