Dee Taylor, National Women’s Caucus Co-Chair

On August 26, 1920 — 100 years ago from this very day — the federal government officially ratified the 19th amendment and granted women the right to vote. Even as we celebrate that hard-fought victory, however, we must remember many women were not able to exercise that right because of a pernicious web of laws and regulations designed to disenfranchise voters based on race and country of origin. A series of reforms through the following decades gradually expanded the right to vote to citizens of all races and nationalities, culminating in the Voting Rights Act of 1965. With our foundational commitment to the pillars Grassroots Democracy and Social Justice, the Green Party has always fought for more just participation and representation for all people. Please give to the Green Party today so we can keep winning victories in this multi-generational struggle, which is actively obscured by the Parties of War and Wall Street and their mouthpieces in the media. Your gift today will help us run candidates and win victories to ensure more people can vote while fighting to ensure people’s votes mean more through transformative reforms like Ranked Choice Voting, Proportional Representation and Fully-Public Campaign Finance.

In Solidarity, Dee Taylor National Women’s Caucus Co-Chair Green Party of the United States P.S. A mountain of evidence shows Ranked Choice Voting and Proportional Representation elects more equitable and diverse governments along the lines of gender, ethnicity and other dimensions of historical repreression. Become a Green Party monthly sustainer today so we can win RCV and PR across this country and ensure 100 more years of expanded Voting Justice. Grassroots, multi-party democracy is necessary to winning Real Solutions That Can’t Wait!

Donate to the Green Party’s Ballot Access Committee

Last week we were subjected to the muted spectacle of the DNC’s convention. Promises were made even as previous promises — such as ending subsidies for fossil fuels — were dropped.

All they have to do to scare you in line is compare themselves to Trump, right?

But the parties of War and Wall Street, together, led us to Trump. Their two-party cartel poisoned our democracy over decades and paved the way for a racist, sexist, corrupt demagogue.

And even as the Democrats crown themselves as our democracy’s saviors, they are still poisoning our elections, fighting tooth and nail to keep Green Party candidates off the ballot across the country.

That’s why we need you to donate to the Green Party’s Ballot Access Committee today. Your gift will be earmarked for getting Greens on the ballot by whatever means available: we petition on the streets, we fight in the courts, we fight for your right to choose.

We need support for all Green candidates

In 2020, Green candidates for President/Vice President, Congress, the state legislature, and local offices in New York are standing up with one voice for systemic change that puts everyday people and planet over entrenched power and profits. 

From the top of the ticket on down, Green candidates are truly independent and advocate for innovative ideas that are the necessary choice that New York voters need. They are united behind the Green Party’s Four Pillars of Peace, Ecology, Social Justice, and Democracy -- and the original authentic Green New Deal! This includes:

• Conversion to 100% clean, renewable energy by 2030 with a public employment program to rebuild a more sustainable infrastructure in energy, waste, agriculture, manufacturing, transportation, and housing.
• Loans and grants issued to develop local cooperative businesses and provide assistance for poor communities and workers displaced by the conversion.
• Research focused on sustainable practices and technology with a carbon tax, a stock transfer tax, an end to fossil fuel subsidies, and a minimum 50% cut in the military budget to fund it. 

In order to enact this change, we need voters to support all of the Green candidates running in New York this year. The campaign platforms of each of them is a reflection of this unified message as it is applied to every local community in the state. Just as the candidates are united by this message, voters need to be united in their support to ensure that the future we want in this state can actually happen.
