Friend —
Mother’s Day is on Sunday, so what better time is there to
celebrate some AMAZING Green Moms?
Mothers provide leadership in our party and in communities around
the world. They are under-represented in this society’s halls of power
while over-represented on the front-lines fighting the consequences of
pollution, poverty, illness and violence.
Lisa Savage
2020 Candidate For U.S. Senate (Maine)
From Lisa:
"Motherhood affected my political outlook by centering
life-sustaining practices. As a union negotiator, I worked hard for
better wages and working conditions for educators who give back to
their communities. I'm running for the US Senate to turn our resources
toward caring for people rather than enriching corporations. I will
work hard for Medicare for All, a demilitarized Green New Deal,
education without debt, and an end to endless wars."

and be sure to check out her campaign’s online
Art Auction Fundraiser.
