The Green Party of Washington was asked by an endorsed green candidate to provide Zoom access for a conversation on reparations with activists involved in the movement for reparations. The Green Party of Washington was made aware of racist and anti-Semitic comments made in the past by an activist who was invited by another activist to attend this meeting. The Green Party of Washington supports full reparations for all colonized people and encourages conversation on this topic. The opinions expressed by activists in the meeting are not necessarily those of the state party.

We encourage continued discussion on this important topic and ask you to join us on Tuesday, September 19^th, 2023 for our monthly reading group discussion on Reparations.

Join us for an inside look at what is happening in the West Bank and Gaza —

Webinar at 5 pm PT, Wednesday, August 4, 2021

The ugly truth of what is happening to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza has been effectively hidden by media silence. Israelis don’t want to look, and the West doesn’t know. The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) and police protect and reinforce attacks by “settlers” which are increasingly vicious and frequent. Israeli courts, police, and settlers have worked with the  IDF and Civil Administration for de facto annexation of most of the West Bank. What is happening to Palestinians exemplifies colonialism throughout the world.

Hear from:

• BOB SUBERI, Veterans For Peace, Green Party of St. Louis.
• ZAKI BARUTI, Universal African Peoples Organization, Green Party of Missouri.
• AWDAH HATHALEEN, Palestinian Activist, Victim of home demolition.
• YONATAN SHAPIRA, Former Israeli Air Force pilot.

Moderator MADELYN HOFFMAN is Co-chair of the Green Party Peace Action Committee.
