Dear Friend,



As families around the country celebrate the women in their lives this Sunday, I am reminded of the origins of Mother’s Day and how much we need that sentiment today. Women organized for peace, spoke out against war and grieved for every son that had been killed. Mother’s Work Day and Friendship Clubs took action by fighting poverty and unsanitary living conditions for poor women and children.



The Green Party stands against wars and imperialism which disproportionately affect women and children. Our Ten Key Values <[link removed]> exemplify the early iterations of a “Mother’s Day” that had peace, equal rights, and access to childcare as its focus.



What does Mother’s Day 2023 offer women who are earning 77 cents for every dollar earned by white men? This gender pay gap has barely budged in 20 years resulting in 35% of single women with children living and raising their families in poverty. The parties of war and Wall Street haven't prioritized any national initiative to eliminate poverty and hunger in the richest country in the world. In fact, their positions on war, climate and health care contribute to the loss of life in our most vulnerable communities.



A Green New Deal will both create millions of good-paying jobs and stop climate change in its tracks by moving to 100% clean, renewable energy by 2030. This is a comprehensive initiative that will improve the lives of women and children. It would ensure that everyone has access to clean water and air, affordable housing, and other essential services.



We need to get our message out about the Real Green New Deal. You can help us with your donation of $26, $48, or more <[link removed]>. Whatever you can give will help us reach more people with our real solutions.
