GreenLine For March 30, 2022
As you can see in this edition of GreenLine, there are so
many events coming up to support your campaigns, organizing
and fellow Greens! It's exciting to see the stirrings of Spring
leading up to Earth Day to May Day, state conventions
and candidates hitting the campaign trail.
Remember to support each other, as many in our community are coming
back to street canvassing after an extended hiatus forced by the
pandemic, while keeping yourself and others safe by following
responsible COVID precautions.
This country desperately needs a Green wake-up call — let's get to
it! 🌻

that the problems we face won’t be solved by the same political
parties that created them.
That’s why we’re thrilled that two-time Green Party
Presidential Nominee Dr. Jill Stein will be joining Matthew Hoh this
Friday, April 1 for a critical discussion on the urgency of
people-powered politics — please

April 6: Reducing Car Dependency: Compact Communities, Buses and
Trains
Presented by the Missouri Green Party, Kansas Greens and the Black
and Green Webinar Series: As communities continue to be dominated by
America's car culture, how long can we continue on this trajectory?
How can we break this endless cycle of building more highways? Lack of
rail service and public transit in rural and urban communities
increases inequities in housing, employment and access to medical
care. Living in asphalt wastelands makes walking or biking unsafe.
Communities of color have repeatedly been dispersed to make way for
more highways. Differently abled citizens are forced to wait for
assistance at busy intersections. At this webinar, learn about ideas
to live more healthfully and interactively with our neighbors.
Panelists:
Richard Rudolf: Rail Users Network
(pre-recorded)
Madison Butler: Rail Passengers
Association
William McDowell: Pittsburgh for
Public Transit
Neal Ehardt: Stop TxDOT I-45
