Friend,
Today is a Big Day!
Join a webinar on August 24th at 8 PM CST with the EcoAction Committee to learn about ways Green Party candidates can raise ecological issues such as the Green New Deal, clean air and water, public power, sustainability, and more in your elections. Learn about some campaign resources presently available and help identify needs for new ones.
Speakers include Mark Dunlea, Co-Chair of EcoAction and national campaign manager for Jill Stein for President in 2016 and GP candidate in 2018 for NYS Comptroller on the divestment issue; Maureen Doyle, a member of her town’s local conservation commission in Massachusetts, who will discuss how to raise the climate issue locally; and, Tony Ndege, former national co-chair of GPUS from North Carolina, who will speak on environmental racism and social justice issues and campaigning for public ownership of energy, utilities etc. RSVP Now!
Sign a petition to stop polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), aka “forever” chemicals in Illinois. We need to ban all products that use this chemical. PFAS chemicals are human-made, do not break down, and accumulate in the environment. PFAS chemicals are in the drinking water for 19 million Americans and almost all Americans have some in their blood. We need to stop these now!
