You can give all of them the boost they need with a single click of your mouse by making a contribution today to the Green Party campaign fund. As you know, America is at the breaking point. Recent polls have shown 60% of Americans want a new political party! Approval ratings for Democrats and Republicans have dropped to new all-time lows of 39% and 33% respectively. Its no wonder, with the continuing pain of a low wage economy, a climate in meltdown, privatization of schools and health care, paralyzing student debt, mass incarceration and immigrant deportations, police brutality and militarization, civil liberties under attack, predatory free trade, war profiteering, chaos in the Middle East, and more. While the political establishment squanders trillions on wars, Wall Street bailouts, and tax handouts to the wealthy these grassroots Greens are pioneering critical policies for priorities like strong local schools, municipal utilities, public banks, and support for small businesses and worker cooperatives. They call for millions of jobs to achieve 100% clean renewable energy by 2030, Medicare for All, and requiring the wealthy few to pay their fair share of taxes. By offering the solutions we need in our communities, these trailblazers are standing up for Americans being thrown under the bus everywhere by politics as usual. In growing numbers, everyday people are throwing off the chains of the corporate parties. They just need to hear about the Green candidates running on their behalf.
