Green Party on IPCC
Report: US Must Halt Fossil Fuel Emissions, Enact a Green New
Deal
The Green Party of the United States said that world leaders must
interpret the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) as highlighting the need to immediately halt the burning
of fossil fuels.
“We need elected officials who have the political courage to
immediately say no to fossil fuels, and who are willing to build a
world centered on a Green New Deal (GND) that combines a rapid
transition to 100% renewable energy and zero emissions within a
decade, while ensuring the economic needs of all are met,” said Green
Party EcoAction Co-Chair Mark Dunlea. Greens in the U.S. first
campaigned for such a plan in 2010, after European Greens had proposed
such an initiative a few years earlier.

Sweeping nuclear boondoggle at taxpayers expense proposed by Ohio
legislators
The Green Party of Ohio opposes HB434 and supports the right of
communities to know what is in their neighborhood and have a say in
decisions that affect their health, safety and quality of life.
The Ohio House has passed a bill that threatens to surpass HB6 in
its impact on Ohio citizens, and it won’t be confined to First Energy
ratepayers.
This time we all get to pay for a dubious experiment to develop
small nuclear reactors (SMRs) which are euphemistically called
Advanced Nuclear Reactors by the proponents and by one corporation,
eGeneration. It is a bill that gives the open wallet of Ohio taxpayers
to perform research and develop SMRs (molten salt reactors) and they
don’t have to actually produce anything. Have the citizens of Ohio
been informed of this bill? Not that anyone has noticed.
Wisconsin Greens seek 2022 candidates
The Wisconsin Green Party is currently seeking candidates for 2022
elections.
Recent polls show over 60% of US voters believe the Democratic and
Republican parties are doing such a terrible job that a new major
party is needed.
The time is right to build a party for the people - but we need
candidates to make it happen.
If you'd consider running for office, let us know and we'll get in
touch to discuss the possibilities!

Training
All across the country hundreds of Green Party candidates will be
challenging the two corporate parties, so this is a great time to
learn the ins and outs of running for office and a great opportunity
to listen to the experiences of Greens who have run and won their
seats.
This is a great chance for people who are interested in running or
participating in electoral campaigns to get their questions answered
by Greens who've done it.
