Dear Green American, Since Green America’s founding in 1982, US voters have seen ten presidential election cycles come and go, beginning with the contest between Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale in 1984. But no single national election can stop our work together on Green America’s areas of focus—climate and energy, agriculture, labor justice, and finance. With or without national leadership that prioritizes people and the planet, Green Americans continue to take action with responsible leaders at the city and state levels, and with our own green-living choices, by patronizing green businesses, and investing responsibly. When politicians—from any party—let us down, we redouble our efforts to create a better world through economic action. In our latest issue of the Green American magazine, we recommend forward-looking solutions and actions you can take to make progress in climate and energy, agriculture, labor justice, and finance. Donate today to support our work to make a just, inclusive economy, one that works for all, and get a one-year subscription to our Green American magazine, including the latest issue "Green Resilience in an Election Year." Plus we'll thank you with a free "I am a Green American" compact tote — made from 100% recycled water bottles. Here are a few articles from this issue you don't want to miss: "Enacting Our Green Values in 2024": We focus on how all our work will proceed whatever the results of this year’s election cycle—and how we can hold political candidates (of any party, and at all levels of government) accountable for their positions on the issues we care about. "It's Time to Reverse US Child Labor Trends": Brenda Alvarez-Lagunas tells her story of being a child laborer in the US and urges Green Americans to support stronger legislation to protect child farmworkers. "Home Is Where the Climate Action Is": it’s time to demand more from local officials to steward the cities that elected them to a safe, just, and healthy future and fight the climate crisis.
