GreenLine For February 18, 2022
Happy Friday! This GreenLine is dedicated to all of the national,
state and local Green Party volunteers who will set aside some of
their weekend off-hours for the work necessary to keep building this
party.
Whether you're canvassing on the street or proofreading meeting
minutes, you are appreciated!

Pennsylvania Greens say "No War with Russia!"
On February 12, the pre-Valentine's Day crowd at Philadelphia's
Love Park was joined by 75 demonstrators who gathered for a rally to
stop the U.S. escalation of tension with Russia. The protest called
for an end to U.S. military and economic moves against Russia. Signs
said, "Fight Racism, Not Russians!" and "Union Contracts, Not Military
Contracts!"
"The drumbeat for war should be shown for what it
is -- a distraction," declared Hillary Kane (Cedar
Park), a member of the Green Party of Philadelphia City
Committee (GPOP). "It is a convenient distraction from all of the ills
plaguing Biden domestically -- from the COVID pandemic to the housing
crisis to the climate crisis. We need to focus our energies on those
issues, not some trumped up conflict with Russia. This is 2022, not
1962."
Update on Kansas Bill for Ballot Access Reform
The Kansas Green Party bill to reduce the
number of signatures required for official party recognition has been
introduced in the House Elections Committee as House Bill 2578! The next step for us to
get our bill passed is to get a hearing on the bill and convince the
committee to vote to pass the bill out of committee!
Passage of this Ballot Access Reform Bill will be a game-changer
for the Kansas Green Party! After a successful petition drive, it will
allow Kansas voters to register as Green and it will allow Greens to
nominate their own candidates when petitioning under the new law.
