Last Friday, I addressed the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Below is the video of my statement, along with a transcript. My friend Aymenn Jawad Al-Tamimi also provided an Arabic translation of my comments. As an aside, Aymenn is one of the best Middle Eastern and geo-political analysts I know. You can follow him on his substack, Aymenn’s Monstrous Publications. Continue reading

Say Free Palestine on Saint Patrick's Day By Matthew Hoh, April 17, 2024 I gave a Saint Patrick’s Day speech at a rally for Palestine today. Last year, I spent Saint Patrick’s Day standing in a bar with a fellow Marine veteran. In 2010, he had been a mortar man with Third Battalion, Fifth Marines, in Sangin, Helmand Province, Afghanistan. In a few months, more than one in five of those Marines and sailors were casualties. Thirteen years later, he still didn’t know what it was for. Continue reading

By Joe Conn, Northwest Indiana Green Party chair The U.S. role in the slaughter in Gaza is massively worse than you might think. As two-time Green Party presidential nominee Ralph Nader has written recently at Naked Capitalism and Common Dreams, the Palestinian death toll in the Gaza strip is likely being under-reported by a factor of ten.

By Justin Paglino In the Democratic Party, the leadership is fighting against progressives. The DNC, the DCCC the DSCC, there are myriad examples of them throwing their weight into primary races to thwart the more progressive, less donor-pleasing candidate. They use every trick under the sun and they’ve been doing it a long time (see below). They are fighting against you. Then, when the moderate wins, they implore you to vote for the moderate (corporate) nominee. This is almost invariably done by extorting your vote with fear of the greater evil. They are using you.

The TL:DR - Helps w Ballot Access and I was No Party Preference Anyway Recently, I decided to Green Enter. It was not a decision I came to immediately or haphazardly. I thought about it for a long time, and decided it was the most constructive thing I could do in the electoral sense. Here’s a list at to why, as well as some of the common responses you’ll get from Naysayers. Continue reading

By Laura Wells How can it be that those of us who do not want war are not getting what we want? We who do not want war are the majority. When South Africa brought its case to the International Court of Justice, there was some doubt that the court would rule in its favor, but the court did hand down a near unanimous ruling that there was a “plausible” case that Israel was violating the Genocide Convention. So now what? Continue reading

Two press reports stood out to me this week: the release of the names of two US Navy SEALs who drowned two weeks ago in the Arabian Sea and the Air Force’s production authorization for the B21 Raider bomber. Both stories symbolize an imperial inertia that defines American national security policies, an inertia that is damaging our democracy and jeopardizing futures. Continue reading

We should encourage activists to come forward to run campaigns … at all levels of offices. Robust Green campaigns are inspiring; they get publicity and they help build the party. This year they’ll also increase visibility for the Jill Stein campaign. In my state, specifically, fielding down-ticket candidates results in better ballot placement for all Green Party candidates. Continue reading

Sign a petition urging Congresswoman Stefanik to resign Dear Congresswoman Stefanik, We, the undersigned, urge you to resign immediately for your aiding and abetting genocide of Palestinians in Gaza by voting to send arms to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to perpetrate the crime in violation of the Genocide Convention. It is altogether fitting and proper that you do this. Continue reading

As a potential 2026 candidate for Governor of Maryland, as a human being, and as a member of the Maryland Green Party, I am committed to peace, justice, and democracy for Palestinians and Israelis alike. I am deeply saddened by the violence, the occupation and the system of Israeli apartheid. I am angry at the United States federal government, and numerous state governments, for the direct and material enabling of Israeli regimes that continue to defy international law and make peace impossible.
