The Four Lakes Green Party chapter of the Wisconsin Green Party passed the following statement on June 17, 2020: In matters of identity, the Green Party takes its lead from the caucuses as experts of their own lived and collective experience. The National Lavender Green Caucus has told us that the “Declaration on Women’s Sex-Based Rights” is "a document intended to deny trans people their bodily autonomy and freedom of expression." AND "The National Women’s Caucus affirms our support of the Green Party platform section concerning Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity. We support our colleagues in the Lavender Caucus in achieving and defending these rights. Our caucus policy is that transgender women are women. We do not support the division and oppression of one oppressed group by further oppressing another." The Four Lakes Green Party stands with the caucuses and other committees of the Green Party of the United States in affirming our support for all women and rejecting oppression.

We expect to do this again soon.Keep an eye out here, in Facebook, or your email. How We Pay for the World We Want! Organizer: Milwaukee Green Party  Howard Switzer is a Tennessee Green Party founder and residential architect who has built healthy homes of earth and straw in 10 states.In 2006 he started the “Moving the Money to Main Street Campaign” which was adopted by the Green Party (GPUS) in 2007.  At the 2006 Green Party National Meeting, Howard learned about Stephen Zarlenga’s vital new exposition of the Lost Science of Money. Over the next decade of study he presented several times at Zarlenga’s lively think tank, the American Monetary Institute (AMI). In 2011, with Howard’s help, the GPUS built two things: a critical plank into their electoral platform calling for a public asset, debt-free money system, and a website to support it, “Greening the Dollar.org".Greens For Monetary ReformIn 2018 GP leadership had to analyze the money question more deeply when advocates of “Modern Monetary Theory” (MMT) attacked the Greening the Dollar plank. Because Howard and three others had the history and science to overwhelmingly defend the plank, the Green Party’s commitment to Public Money was strengthened by that challenge. In 2018 Howard also helped to found a new membership organization aiming to research, educate and organize for real monetary reform, the Alliance for Just Money (AFJM).howwepay.usMonetary Alliance Greens for Monetary Reformgp.org Greenbacks_Not_Bailoutsgp.org GPUS PlatformGP Platform Economic_Justice_and_Sustainability_2016en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_System_(economic_plan) Continue reading
