A message from the Green Party National Women's Caucus
for International Women's Day:
Friend --
The midterm elections are coming and the Green Party is asking for
your support!
The Green Party National Women’s Caucus encourages you to support
women candidates running on the Green Party line by
donating to the national party.
Women represent only about a quarter of those serving in federal
office, yet studies show the concrete benefits of women serving in
political positions. The presence of highly-visible women in office
inspires people of all ages and genders to increase their political
involvement. Women in positions of power are more likely to promote
policies that benefit women, children and families as well as local
communities.
All 435 voting seats in the House of Representatives and 1/3 of the
Senate seats are up for election in the 2022 midterm elections. Green
Party candidates who are running for these and other seats are
highlighted on GP.org. Contact your
state party to find out who is running in your state and
how you can help.

Candidate: Delilah
Barrios For Governor of Texas
"I'm a Latina/Indigenous woman. I am a mother, an activist, and a
healthcare worker among other titles. Texas has a large population of
Latinos and independent voters. I believe we can reach past party
politics to address the root of the systemic problems and rally behind
compassionate, ecological and economical policies that would
improve the lives of Texans for generations." |
We also need your financial support at the national level, to fund
assistance to candidates such as obtaining and retaining ballot
access, training campaign staff training, and media promotion. Our
candidates will fight to promote the issues you care about, but we
need your contribution to make this happen. Please
support the Green Party so that we can support women candidates and
our goal of equal representation!

Candidate: Laura
Wells For State Controller of California
"Laura Wells’ political activism kicked into high gear in 1992 in
an unexpected way. A friend told her,
I had a dream you were in politics. You should check out the
brand new Green Party.
Laura found a political home in the Green Party. She appreciated
the recognition that the problems facing everyone were interrelated:
peace and non-violence, the environment, wealth and poverty, and
social justice. She saw that real justice was up against all the
'isms' of society."
