GreenLine For March 6, 2022
Today marks an international day of action for peace in Ukraine. We
hope you are able to participate passionately, safely and represent
the Green Party well in your local actions.
As you can see throughout this edition of GreenLine,
Russia's invasion of Ukraine looms large over our party, as it does
over much of the world. Times like this demonstrate the necessity of
the Green Party and our principled commitment to the pillar of
Non-Violence.
Our country needs more voices with the conviction to say "Stop the
War in Ukraine. Russian Troops Out. No NATO Expansion." We are
fighting a political and media power structure that is ghoulishly
eager to use Putin's moral transgressions to wash away any US and NATO
accountability for their years of reckless and self-serving fueling of
this conflict.
At this daunting moment we are fortunate to have someone like
Matthew
Hoh as a candidate for US Senate — a voice for peace who
knows the US war machine inside and out — with the moral fiber and
credibility to speak necessary truths. I hope you will take a moment
to watch and share Matthew's rebuttal to President Biden's State of
the Union Address, the complete video of which you can find below.
Peace and solidarity!
—Michael O'Neil, GreenLine Editor and Green Party
Communications Manager

Green Party Featured On Latest "Economic Update" with Richard
Wolff Podcast
Professor Richard Wolff's groundbreaking work to analyze and
explain complex economic issues has reached millions of people,
helping many to identify capitalism's destructiveness and imagine
alternatives.
The latest episode of his nationally syndicated,
weekly Economic Update podcast features an interview with
Green Party of New York organizers Gloria Mattera and Michael O'Neil
to expose the two-party duopoly's latest attack on the Green Party,
how the duopoly uses the politics of fear to marginalize real
solutions to the crises we face, and how we can fight back.
Audio of the interview is available for listening, downloading and
sharing now, and the episode will be uploaded to YouTube on
Monday.
Green Party Calls for Ceasefire and Diplomatic Solution to Ukraine
Crisis
The Green Party is calling on the leaders of the United
States, NATO and Russia to immediately initiate diplomatic talks
together with Ukrainian leadership to resolve the crisis in Ukraine.
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a
ground-and-air invasion throughout Ukraine, including the capital city
of Kyiv.
The Green Party condemns Russia’s military incursion, which
is in violation of international law, regardless of real or perceived
provocations. We also recognize the US government and Western powers
are responsible for 30 years of provocations by failing to respect the
promise
to not expand NATO after the fall of the Berlin Wall in
1989. This reckless antagonism between world powers has led to war
with the potential for massive destruction, environmental damage and
loss of life.

Green Party of California Statement on the War in Ukraine
The Green Party of California condemns in the strongest possible
terms the recent attack on Ukraine by the Russian military that has so
far caused hundreds of civilian casualties, including children, and
forced thousands of Ukrainians to take refuge in Poland and other
neighboring countries.
Likewise, we also condemn the relentless provocations and
warmongering tactics that the U.S. has been using against Russia in an
effort to expand influence in the region as a co-leader of NATO. By
sending hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to the
Ukrainian government each year – $600 million alone last year and more
than $2.7 billion since 2014 – and by authorizing NATO countries to
transfer U.S. made weapons to Ukraine, the Biden Administration has
been actively contributing to tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
Green-Rainbow Party: No War in Ukraine!
"War between the United States and Russia would risk human
extinction. Both have policies to use nuclear weapons and could resort
to them in the fog of war. Nuclear war would cause ecosystem collapse
and humanity to starve. What exactly are we risking this
for?"
— Dr. Jill Stein
This is the closest we have come to "nuclear confrontation" since
the 1962 Cuban missile crisis. We have become desensitized to the term
"nuclear confrontation" as if it is an argument between friends. In
reality, it is a euphemism for potential nuclear annihilation, the end
of life as we know it. It is time to get serious as the world around
us becomes more dangerous, as two nuclear powers–the US and allies
face off against Russia.
North Carolina Green Party Statement on the Ukraine Crisis
The North Carolina Green Party stands for an immediate ceasefire in
Ukraine. We call for the United States and other NATO powers to begin
immediate peace talks with Russia towards a return to the terms of the
2014 Minsk Protocol. NATO forces have made incursions into the region
for decades. The overthrow of Ukraine’s democratically elected
government in 2014 happened with the direct involvement of US
diplomats. These aggressions have led to Russian security concerns and
have inflamed and destabilized the situation in Ukraine.
Because of this we call for the dissolution of NATO altogether.
NATO serves to maintain global subjugation and dominance of all
nations on behalf of the European Union, the United Kingdom, and the
US, as well as their wealthy beneficiaries. This has resulted in more
global destabilization, not peace building. We call for all people of
good conscience to take a stand and resist these dangerous escalations
and against the deliberate policy of interference in the region by US
and NATO leadership.
