Happy Leap Day, Greens!



I hope you're able to spend at least part of this extra day how you want, whether on Green Party or other movement organizing, catching up with loved ones or simply kicking back and recharging in the ways you most enjoy because...






I couldn't pass up the chance to send out my only second-ever GreenLine on a Leap Day, so here we are! When I think about all we can accomplish together this year, I'm grateful for every extra day, hour and minute we can wrangle 💚

May I humbly suggest using this Magical, Extra Day to scratch an important item off of your 2020 To-Do List? Register for the Green Party's 2020 Presidential Nominating Convention in Detroit! <[link removed]>

That's right, registration for the Green Party's Presidential Nominating Convention and Annual National Meeting to be held July 9-12th at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI is now live with a special, limited-time discounted registration fee of $100 <[link removed]>.

We never turn anyone away because of the cost of registration.

Free & Equal Elections Foundation is hosting its first Open Presidential Debate of the 2020 US Presidential election at the Hilton Chicago Hotel on March 4, 2020 at 2pm CST.

The debate will attempt to address many criticisms of recent presidential debates, including frustrating formats, irrelevant questions, and heavy-handed candidate exclusions.

Twenty one candidates have been confirmed for the event, including Green Party candidates Howie Hawkins and Sedinam Kinamo Christin Moyowasifza-Curry. Co-hosted by Open the Debates, the debate will use formats and approaches intended to shift the conversation toward constructive, respectful, and solution-oriented debate.

The event will be broadcast live at www.freeandequal.org <[link removed]> and we'll let you know about more viewing platforms as information becomes available. See the Facebook event page (no Facebook account required to read it!) for more information about the debate criteria, format and participants. <[link removed]>

Please note the Green Party is not an official sponsor of this debate event. Nevertheless, we appreciate platforms that inform voters about options beyond the duopoly parties.



EcoAction Committee Wants To Hear About YOUR Green Party Work For Climate Justice

The EcoAction Committee of the Green Party wants to identify local and state Green Party work on climate change to better network with local GP climate activists and to better inform our own work, including how to assist your group.

Please fill out this survey so we can build a nationwide climate justice strategy. <[link removed]>

We are looking for work that is being done under the Green Party name. We realize that many Greens individually are engaged in climate activism, but this survey is to identify official Green Party work.

We want to figure out how the national party can best assist and amplify the climate work of state and local Green Parties. Your suggestions are welcome.

Survey coordinator Mark Dunlea recently joined the EcoAction Committee with an interest in organizing Green climate work nationally, including days of actions, phone-ins, and GP contingents at major climate events.

The EcoAction committee is also interested in hearing how it can help on other environmental issues. You can contact them at [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> .

Thanks, and please take a look at the survey. <[link removed]>

Hung Jury For Embassy Protectors a Victory for International Solidarity Against Empire, Political Speech <[link removed]>

The Green Party expressed relief and gratitude for the jurors who held out and refused to level a guilty verdict in the trial of the Embassy Protectors’ Collective <[link removed]>. The federal district court trial began on February 11, and resulted three days later in a hung jury and mistrial. The court will reconvene on March 6, when the prosecution will state how it wishes to proceed. The Embassy Protectors could have faced up to a year in prison and a $100,000 fine each.

The four individuals were arrested in May of 2019 at the Venezualen Embassy in Washington, D.C., where they were attempting to protect an embassy takeover <[link removed]> by an appointee of coup leader Juan Guaido. Included among the four are Green Party of the United States National Co-Chair Margaret Flowers, and Kevin Zeese, 2006 Green candidate for U.S. Senate from Maryland.

At the beginning of the trial, Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell issued a ruling placing a number of restrictions on what the defendants would be allowed to tell the jury. They could not argue that their First Amendment political rights were violated; that Juan Guaido is not, in fact, president of Venezuela; nor that the Protectors were prepared to leave the embassy voluntarily once a protecting power agreement was reached between the US and Venezuela.
