Happy Pride Month

From the Illinois Greens!

As Pride Month winds down, we remember 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.

Support LGBTQIA Rights with a donation of $19.69 in remembrance of the Stonewall Rebellion.

The profit-driven U.S. healthcare system has produced staggering healthcare inequities, patient suffering and death, declining health outcomes, and massive medical debt.

A single-payer system would cover comprehensive health care for everyone from head to toe regardless of citizenship or employment. It will be free at the point of service and cost less than the current system.
