Friend --
The Coordinating Committee of the Green Party of Louisiana calls on
Dr. Butch Ware to withdraw as our party’s 2024 vice-presidential
candidate. His recent comments on reproductive rights and trans
liberation are disqualifying for a Green Party candidate, and his
response to the resulting criticism only deepened our concerns. Dr.
Ware claimed that his words were taken out of context and manipulated
through selective editing. However, his statements are his own,
presented in the exact order he delivered them. Rather than
apologizing or clarifying his remarks—such as his use of the term
“biological males” and other conservative rhetoric—he has chosen to
attack his critics instead.
We encourage Greens and American voters to support Claudia de la
Cruz and Karina Garcia in this election, as they stand firmly for
reproductive freedom and trans liberation. Dr. Jill Stein and the
Green Party of the United States’ silence on this matter is
disheartening and has eroded our state party’s confidence in their
leadership.
