This Wednesday, March 4: Two Green Party Candidates to Appear in Open Presidential Debate Co-Hosted by Free & Equal Elections and Open The Debates

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 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.

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. 

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] .

Thanks, and please take a look at the survey.
