From September 15th to 17th, millions worldwide will take to the streets to demand a rapid, just, and equitable end to fossil fuels.

Join us in Seattle to demand President Biden take determined action to end fossil fuels by stopping new fossil fuel projects, phasing out oil and gas drilling on our public lands and waters, and declaring a climate emergency to turbo-charge a just clean energy future.

We need a just transition to a renewable energy future that ensures a liveable planet, generates millions of jobs, and supports workers’ and community rights.

A mass demonstration in New York City, calling on President Biden to take bold action to end fossil fuel production and expansion. The march will occur a few days before the United Nations hosts its annual Climate Ambition Summit calling on world leaders to commit to ending fossil fuel expansion. The march is being organized by a coalition of local and national organizations of all shapes and sizes. The Green Party of New York has endorsed this march and calls upon Greens and allies to participate.

Greens will meet in NYC at the corner of 57th and 8th Ave (southeast corner) at 12:15 PM ET. At 12:45 PM we will go one block east to the corner of 57th and Broadway. This is a few blocks south of Columbus Circle (at the start of Central Park on the west side). Note that this may change again as the police often change things at the last moment. Bring Mark Dunlea’s cell phone number with you in case things change on the day of the march (518-860-3725).

National March on Washington – at the White House on the 20th anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq

• No War in Ukraine! No to NATO! No Weapons, No Money for the Ukraine War

• • Saturday, March 18 at 1:00 p.m. ET | Washington, D.C. | The White House

Coinciding with the 20th anniversary weekend of the criminal U.S.-invasion of Iraq a major set of actions will take place including a demonstration at the White House in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, March 18 demanding “Peace in Ukraine – Say NO to Endless U.S. Wars” and “Fund People’s Needs, Not the War Machine.” Since 2003, the U.S. has engaged in sanctions (economic war) on more than 40 countries. These targets of U.S. economic warfare include the people of Cuba, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Iran, and many other nations. Even in the wake of the worst disasters, like the recent deadly earthquake, Washington keeps its cruel sanctions in place against Syria. U.S. bases and “commands” blanket most of the world. It is a global empire.

The Biden administration is determined to escalate the Ukraine war. The real goal of the massive arming and training of Ukrainian forces has nothing to do with the interests of Ukrainian, Russian or American people. The aim instead is to “weaken Russia” as stated by the U.S. Secretary of Defense himself, even at the risk of a catastrophic nuclear war that could end life on Earth. A U.S. General commanding 50,000 troops in the Pacific also issued a letter to his sub-commanders in recent days informing them that he believes that the United States will be at war with China within two years. The danger of global war is growing! The people must act!

The demonstration will make connections between the human and financial toll of U.S. militarism at home and abroad. Key demands include:

• Peace in Ukraine – Negotiations not escalation!
• Abolish NATO – End U.S. militarism & sanctions!
• Fund people’s needs, not the war machine!
• No war with China!
• End U.S. aid to racist apartheid Israel!
• Fight racism & bigotry at home, not other peoples!
• U.S. hands off Haiti!
• End AFRICOM!

The Republican Party and the Right are waging an all-out assault on the rights of women and LGBTQ people. The ultra-conservative majority on the Supreme Court opened the floodgates for Republican-dominated states to attack abortion rights. And they aren’t stopping there. Republicans are going after transgender rights, voting rights, workers’ rights, and more.

Just last month, 195 Republicans in the House voted against making access to contraception a federal law!  Additionally, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham introduced a NATIONAL ABORTION BAN BILL. And to top it off, the US Supreme Court’s new session starts this week, and one of the cases they’ll be ruling on addresses same-sex marriage.

We need to fight back!

To win bodily autonomy, abortion rights, and LGBTQ liberation, we need to build an independent multi-gendered, multi-racial, grassroots movement of everyday people and young people. That’s why it is so important that every organization and individual actively participates in this National Weekend of Action called by The Women’s March. We need a strong mass movement to beat back the Republicans and pressure Democrats to implement:

• The Women’s Health Protection Act (which would legalize abortion nationwide, overriding state bans)
• The end of the Senate filibuster
• Expansion of the Supreme Court with pro-choice judges
• Medicare for All, including:
  • Free, legal, safe abortions
  • Free contraception, birth control, & reproductive services
• Affordable universal childcare & paid family leave
• Living wages & affordable housing for all
• Free gender-affirming healthcare

On July 30th, the Seattle March for #HealthcareJustice will take place on the 57th anniversary of the passage of Medicare!

You are invited to attend!

Please RSVP here.

Details are still being worked out, so be sure to RSVP to stay up to date.

There are so many reasons to march for healthcare justice this year:

• We are still deeply impacted by the COVID pandemic. A new study estimates that more than 330,000 lives could have been saved by universal healthcare.
• We just lost Roe v. Wade – now is the time to DEMAND universal healthcare with full coverage of abortion be passed immediately to remove all financial barriers to reproductive care.
• Medicare is currently under the attack of privatization through the REACH program – we need the Biden administration to know that we see what’s happening, and we won’t stand for it.
• We have a serious chance at getting statewide single-payer healthcare on the ballot for Washington state!
• The midterms are coming up soon and we need Medicare for All to be a non-negotiable electoral issue!

As with all marches, promotion and turnout are essential. Please share this action with as many people as possible and invite a friend or two to join you. We have just a few weeks before we march so this is an all-hands-on-deck moment!

This event is co-sponsored by Medicare for All EVERYWHERE, Whole Washington, the Seattle DSA Healthcare Working Group, and the Green Party of Seattle, and we expect this coalition to continue to grow. Last year’s event was an incredible success featuring fantastic speakers like Stephanie Gallardo, Nikkita Oliver, and Kshama Sawant!

We know that the community will come out again to march for healthcare justice! See you on the 30th!
