GreenLine For July 8, 2022
Last weekend, it might have felt strange to observe a holiday
celebrating independence and freedom, considering recent news. It’s
important to remember that freedom is a constant struggle. You aren’t
alone in that struggle, and there is no one we’d rather be fighting
alongside than you.
“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so
absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”
— Albert Camus
— Daniel Bumbarger, National Lavender Greens Caucus
Green Party Denounces
Supreme Court for Siding with Corporate Polluters in Climate
Fight
WASHINGTON — The Green Party of the United States
today denounced the U.S. Supreme Court’s West Virginia v. EPA 6-3
decision, siding with coal and other polluters against the regulation
of greenhouse gas emissions.
Greens said it may have been a death blow in the fight to halt
climate collapse, and it is long past time to overhaul the rogue,
undemocratic Supreme Court, whose powers and reach have expanded
beyond that laid out in the Constitution.
Green Party Calls For
Mass Mobilizations To Protect Reproductive Rights
WASHINGTON — The Green Party of the United States
denounces the Supreme
Court's decision allowing states to ban abortion and
control our bodies. We join the rallying cry of: our bodies, our
minds, our power.
The fight for reproductive freedom is not over. Nineteen
states currently protect access to abortion services:
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico,
New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and Washington
DC. Other states have varying
laws, making it essential for communities to know their
rights.

from the COVID-19 pandemic was not yet ready to guarantee a safe,
in-person meeting during the planning process.
We will miss the opportunity to share space with Greens from across
the country but we can take this virtual gathering as an opportunity
for national work on some of the most pressing challenges for this
party. We hope you will join us from July 22-24.

Matthew Hoh for Senate Blasts NC Board of Elections’ Corrupt
Decision to Deny Green Party Ballot Petition
Matthew Hoh, presumptive North Carolina Green Party nominee for US
Senate, has blasted the decision by the North Carolina State Board of
Elections (SBOE) to deny the Green Party’s ballot access petition.
“The NC State Board of Elections decision
to deny the Green Party our rightfully earned place on the ballot is a
corrupt, lawless, and blatantly partisan attack on democracy,” said
Matthew Hoh. “It’s a slap in the face to the thousands of people who
signed, to our grassroots organizers who worked tirelessly to collect
thousands of signatures during an ongoing pandemic, and to everyone
who believes in democracy itself.”

Candidates

the independent nominating petitions of the Green Party and all four
other gubernatorial candidates who are not already on the ballot as

insufficient signatures. The other petitions were for the Libertarian,
Unite, Freedom, and New Visions candidates.
