History

Announcements:

Jill Stein for President

We hope to see you at one of our meetings, and above all, we hope that you will VOTE GREEN in future elections.

• Saturday September 24th, 2016
  • Iowa Presidental Election Planning Meeting, Iowa City Public Library

  • Support Green Candidates

    USA:
    Jill Stein for President - Dr. Jill Stein was the Green Party’s 2012 candidate for President. She holds the current record for most votes ever received by a woman candidate for President of the United States in the general election. She is a mother, an organizer, physician, and pioneering environmental-health advocate. She has helped lead initiatives to fight environmental racism and injustice, to promote healthy communities, to strengthen local green economies and to revitalize democracy. She has helped win victories in campaign finance reform, racially-just redistricting, green jobs, and the cleanup of incinerators, coal plants, and toxic threats. She was a principal organizer for the Global Climate Convergence for People, Planet and Peace over Profit.

    Ohio: 
    Robert Fitrakis has been working for voting justice in Ohio since at least 2004.  He frequently appears with Harvey Wasserman on the radio program Green Power and Wellness  and runs freepress.org. See Fitrakis for Franklin County (Columbus, Ohio) Prosecutor fitrakisforcongress.org

    Dr. Robert Fitrakis, Congressional Briefing on Voter Suppression and Election Defense, April 21, 2016

    Maryland: 
    Dr. Margaret Flowers, Green Party candidate for Senator from Maryland: "The Trans Pacific Partnership is a catastrophe poised to kill what’s left of our nation, says Dr. Margaret Flowers. Long-time activist and Green Party candidate for Senator from Maryland, Margaret works to FLUSH THE TPP and warns that this proposed trade deal is “NAFTA on steroids”. These terrible trade deals turn every ounce power over to giant corporations who rig our economies to the benefit of the super rich. NAFTA utterly destroyed America’s industrial base, and the TPP will be even worse," says Flowers. See: Solartopia Green Power and Wellness Hour - 05-05-16
