Transgender Day of Visibility

The Green Party of the United States stands in solidarity in honoring Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV), March 31st. Since 2009, TDOV has been a day to celebrate the lives, contributions, and resilience of transgender people, and to recommit to the ongoing struggle for their rights.

This year, that recognition comes at a time of intensifying attacks.

Across the country, transgender people, especially trans youth, have been targeted by an unprecedented wave of legislation, executive actions, and political rhetoric aimed at restricting healthcare, education, and even the basic right to exist openly and safely.These are not abstract policy debates; they are direct assaults on human dignity, safety, and survival.

Too many elected officials in the parties of War and Wall Street have failed to meet this moment with the clarity and courage it demands. While conservatives have driven these attacks, leaders in the so-called opposition party have too often stayed silent—or worse, treated the rights and safety of trans people as politically expendable.

The Green Party of the United States rejects compromise when it comes to fundamental human rights. We stand firmly with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, and all gender and romantic minority communities; not just in words, but in policy and action.

Our National Lavender Green Caucus represents LGBTQIA+ members and allies within the party. If you’re eligible, we invite you to join and help strengthen this work.

We believe that meeting this moment requires bold, systemic solutions, including:

A comprehensive national healthcare system that guarantees full access to gender-affirming care, as well as behavioral, dental, hearing, and vision services.
Explicit protections against discrimination in healthcare based on gender identity, sexuality, race, nationality, or income
Increased funding for HIV/AIDS research and prevention
A guaranteed living wage and a serious commitment to ending homelessness, which disproportionately impacts LGBTQIA+ youth
Inclusive, affirming K-12 education and free public education through college
Ending mass incarceration and the War on Drugs, which disproportionately harm queer and trans people, especially in communities of color

At a time when trans people are being pushed out of public life, we affirm something simple but powerful: trans people belong everywhere. Visible. Valued. Liberated.

No other national political party matches the Green Party’s commitment to the liberation of all people, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or sex.

Your continued support helps ensure that candidates and organizers committed to these values have the resources to fight—and win. Please consider supporting or getting involved today.

In Solidarity,

Daniel Bumbarger
Co-Chair, National Lavender Green Caucus

Remembering the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire

On March 25 we marked the anniversary of the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, where 146 garment workers, mostly young immigrant women, perished due to locked doors and corporate greed. Their sacrifice ignited the modern movement for workplace safety and the right to organize.

Garment workers take to the streets in mourning and solidarity following the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire on March 25, 1911.

As we honor their memory, we see history’s chilling echoes in today’s escalated ICE attacks on our immigrant neighbors. These raids and enforcement actions create a climate of fear that corporations exploit to suppress wages and silence workers.The Green Party of the United States stands in firm solidarity with all workers, regardless of documentation status. We recognize that the same corporate greed that locked those doors in 1911 continues to threaten workers today through the criminalization of immigrant communities and the erosion of essential labor protections.

We believe a healthy and just economy must serve people over profit. We demand:

An end to ICE raids and deportations that tear families apart and leave workers vulnerable.
A living wage and safe workplaces for every worker, regardless of documentation status.
Strengthened unions and the protected right to collective bargaining for all.

The 1911 tragedy was a failure of a system that prioritized profit over human life. The Green Party is dedicated to replacing that system with one rooted in social justice and dignity for all workers.

The Green Party of the United States has unwavering solidarity with workers and vulnerable immigrant communities because we don’t accept money from the billionaires and corporations that fund the two parties of war and Wall Street. It’s supporters like you who make this possible. Please consider a donation or even a becoming a monthly sustainer so that we can keep challenging the duopoly as the party that always puts people and planet over profits.

Let us honor the memory of those lost in 1911 by continuing the fight for a future where every worker is treated with the respect, protection, and dignity they deserve.

In Solidarity,
Green Party of the United States

Dump the Duopoly: Power Up For Peace July 10!

Join Jill Stein, Medea Benjamin, Briahna Joy Gray and Butch Ware in the Dump Duopoly rally on July 10 at 8 PM ET! With the stakes higher than ever, they are coming back stronger, more fired up, and ready to build the future we deserve.

Message from Jill Stein:

“While the Trump administration wages war on people and planet, Democrats are busy bowing to Republicans. With Democrats like Chuck Schumer playing performative politics by just changing the name of the “Big Beautiful Bill” but not actually fighting to keep it from passing, it’s clear that an actual opposition party is more urgently needed and more possible than ever.

Thanks to your incredible support, we emerged from 2024 as the leading people-powered party, doubling our vote share over 2020 despite unprecedented political repression. We’re the only pro-worker, anti-genocide, pro-democracy party fighting its way onto ballots for a majority of voters.

Now, as the duopoly doubles down on genocide and censorship, the environment unravels, recession looms and fascism grows, the ruling elites are losing their grip. With both Democrats and Trump polling at historic lows, America is closer than ever to dumping the duopoly and powering up for peace.

But only if we seize this moment.

To harness this momentum, join me for our rally & fundraiser on Wednesday, July 10 at 8 PM ET featuring incredible guests: Medea Benjamin, Butch Ware, Briahna Joy Gray, and yours truly.“
