The Steering Committee of the Green Party of the United States (GPUS) is surprised to learn of Dr. West’s decision to no longer seek the Green Party Presidential Nomination and to run as an independent. On behalf of the Green Party of the US, we thank Dr. West for his strong consideration towards running as a Green. We deeply appreciate the significant resources that the West campaign has already invested toward securing our party’s ballot lines in several states.

There's No Freedom In Silence: Stand Up, Speak Out!
The Missouri Green Party <[link removed]> recently hosted a webinar that called for solidarity with the African People's Socialist Party <[link removed]> against the military-style FBI attacks, economic sanctions, and bogus charges of being "Russian agents." Discussions included how the Uhuru Movement is being targeted by the U.S. government, why it is imperative that the Green Party and other freedom-loving people defend the right to free speech of all those persecuted, from the "Uhuru 3" to Cop-City protesters and Julian Assange – and how we can take action in this historic fight.

Green Party Says Huge Numbers at NYC Climate March Highlights the Need for Faster and Stronger Action, Including an Ecosocialist Green New Deal
The Green Party <[link removed]>, which first began calling in 2010, is heartened to see such widespread support for a Green New Deal (GND) among the estimated 75,000 people who marched on Sunday <[link removed]> to demand faster climate action from President Biden. For Greens the most important response to global warming would be the rapid and full halt to fossil fuel emissions and welcomed the call by more than 600 groups to demand much swifter action against the use of fossil fuels from The Biden administration.

Candidate News
Green incumbent Ed Williamson re-elected
"Health care is a right, not a privilege."
That principle, enshrined in the Green Party of the United States platform <[link removed]>, guided Missouri Green Ed Williamson in his first four-year term of office on the Texas County Health Department (TCHD) Board of Trustees in rural southern Missouri — and led to his re-election on April 4, 2023.
Williamson was first elected to TCHD Board in 2019. An associate professor of education and child development at Drury University in Southern Missouri since 1999, and minister of the Bendavis Church of Christ in western Texas County since 1985, Williamson has deep roots in the community – and that's been reflected in his understanding of local health care issues.

Sean Dougherty for Congress
I'm not running with a major party. I was a Democrat until a few years ago, but I came to the conclusion that real change, particularly at the Federal level, isn't possible within the two major parties. These parties are owned by the very corporations and billionaires that are making money from the destruction of ecosystems, perpetuation of wars, and exploitation of people. If we're going to bring sanity to our nation, we're going to have to do so outside of those parties.
We can end the wars and take aggressive climate action. We can provide our people homes, healthcare, and education. But to do so, we must reject corporate control. With your support, I believe we've got a shot at taking on the incumbent. Please join me in fighting for a real democracy controlled by the people and for the people, not the corporations.
