Friend --
For Labor Day, we're thinking about the necessity of the "Just
Transition". A Just Transition means doing everything we can to take
human civilization 100% fossil-free by 2030, but doing so in a way
that does not devastate everyday people whose livelihoods currently
depend on a fossil fuel economy they did not choose.
A Just Transition is necessary: how can we possibly
restructure vast swaths of how we live while throwing countless
people, families and communities into poverty, jeopardy and despair?
First, that's unacceptably cruel. Second, this effort won't work if
millions fight it out of desperation.
The Workers of the World and the World, itself, need each other!
That's why the Green Party has campaigned for a transformative Green
New Deal based on an Economic Bill Rights, publicly-owned energy
democracy and revitalized public services. Will you contribute to the Green Party today to
support campaigns that fight for an eco-socialist Green New Deal as
humanity's best chance to avert climate catastrophe while protecting
workers?
We also invite you to
join and share this Thursday's 11am ET online workshop hosted by the
Global Greens on how we can bring people power and real
solutions to the COP26 global climate talks in November.
They say "there are no jobs on a dead planet." At the same time, we
won't win a livable planet without working people coming together.
That's part of the wisdom behind the Green Party's Four Pillars of
Grassroots Democracy, Social Justice, Ecological Wisdom and
Nonviolence: we can't achieve any of those values unless we
fight for all of them.
The wisdom of the Four Pillars and the values of our Green
candidates are desperately need in elected offices across this
country. The clock is ticking and this transformation can't wait. Please
support the Green Party today!
