The Wisconsin Green Party Coordinating Council was dismayed by the actions of Cynthia McKinney, former Democratic U.S. House Member from 1993 to 2003 and 2008 Green Party presidential nominee, who on the morning of September 11 promoted an event hosted in part by white supremacist David Duke which characterized Jewish people as a “common enemy.”In no uncertain terms, the Wisconsin Green Party condemns this event, its organizers, its promoters, and the vile hatred at its core.The Wisconsin Green Party, as part of the Green Party of the United States, holds respect for diversity and anti-racism as a core value. Cynthia McKinney has no current relationship or affiliation with the Wisconsin Green Party or the Green Party of the United States, and has not for years. We condemn her promotion of this event and call on all parties and organizations, including the Democratic Party with whom she served for a decade as a US House Representative, to do the same.

Even as Wisconsin continues to experience the sweltering ramifications of a changing climate, the Republican debate in Milwaukee was shockingly silent on the most urgent crisis of our time: climate change. The recent heat wave, which was at the center of an alarming heat dome, should have been a wake-up call to our leaders. Yet, the majority of Republican candidates chose to turn a blind eye to the dire consequences facing our state, and by extension, our world. Continue reading

Black asserts that Nader "took enough votes away from Gore to elect Bush," attributing Gore's loss in Florida, and consequently the election, to Nader's influence. Continue reading

Today we celebrate the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced that all slaves in Texas were free, over two years after President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation went into effect. Let's use this day to reflect on and honor the sacrifices and contributions of Black Americans throughout history. We fight to end the root causes of these issues through education and empowering people through collective action. We envision social justice in which people are treated equally before the law and in their daily lives. To that end, we aim to fight for the rights of Black people at the intersection of oppression, which means addressing the racial achievement gap, having a universal, single-payer system that will be funded through state taxes to meet racial health care, getting back union power in Wisconsin for Black workers, and reaching for economic democracy for maintain an essential quality of life.
