Greens Stand with Students at #FreezeTheFuels Climate Strike, Green Candidate Arrested

  Image Credit: Brian Eisold Milwaukee - Friday, December 6th, 2019 hundreds of students and other local activists rallied in Zeidler Union Square Park to demand action against global warming.  Students from all walks of life joined the strike including elementary and college students.  North Division High School brought student speakers and a drumline which led the march.  Among the speakers was Cheyanne Rupert (Sunrise Milwaukee Coordinator), and prior Green mayoral candidate for Racine, Fabi Maldonado (who currently serves on the Racine County Board).

Surveillance giants: How the business model of Google and Facebook threatens human rights

Google and Facebook help connect the world and provide crucial services to billions. To participate meaningfully in today’s economy and society, and to realize their human rights, people rely on access to the internet—and to the tools Google and Facebook offer. But Google and Facebook’s platforms come at a systemic cost. The companies' surveillance-based business model is inherently incompatible with the right to privacy and poses a threat to a range of other rights including freedom of opinion and expression, freedom of thought, and the right to equality and non-discrimination. 21 November 2019, Index number: POL 30/1404/2019 https://www.amnesty.org/download/Documents/POL3014042019ENGLISH.PDF

With 2020 elections coming up, now is a great time to think about running for office as a Green to help build the movement for people, planet and peace over profit. If you'd consider running for office, let us know and we'll get in touch to discuss the possibilities! We will be holding a Green Campaign School this Saturday November 9th in Madison for prospective candidates, campaign managers, and anyone who would like to gain the skills and knowledge needed to be an essential part of a successful campaign. We highly encourage people who are planning to run for office (or considering a campaign) to attend, as well as prospective campaign managers and other key team members. Continue reading
