Jill Stein has signed on as Cornel West's campaign manager. Are there Howie Hawkins and Jill Stein factions within the Green Party?

Chris Hedges is a former war correspondent for the NY Times, and worked as a speech writer on Ralph Nader's 2000 Green Party campaign. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i9BKJR9Nro&list=PL1VUdX8wJjBxEfJGjT6HI9_NEWr-tvl5x The Green Party USA and the Green Party of TN need to attract younger voters -- the kind of highly enthusiastic voters for Bernie Sanders in 2016 & 2020.

What does your brain tell you? Homelessness is a manifestation of massive poverty in the USA. Most unsheltered people were in stable housing but due to a loss of income, they were evicted or otherwise lost their housing. If most of these people had been given $300/month, they could have bridged the gap until they were able to start earning income again. Income loss, rent drove CA homeless growth: survey CalMatters https://calmatters.org › housing › 2023/06 › california... 4 days ago — Losing income is the No. 1 reason Californians end up homeless – and the vast majority of them say a subsidy of as little as $300 a month could ... The biggest survey of homeless Californians in decades ... Orange County Register https://www.ocregister.com › 2023/06/20 › the-bigges... 3 days ago — Losing income is the No. 1 reason Californians end up homeless – and the vast majority of them say a subsidy of as little as $300 a month could ... $300 a month rent for life for residents of Eden Village WECT https://www.wect.com › 2021/12/10 › community-spotli... Dec 9, 2021 — It's an investment with big returns. Eden Village of Wilmington is a non-profit that builds homes for the area's homeless.   From Robert Reich, former U.S. Secretary of Labor: " 65% of Americans approve of labor unions, the highest percentage in decades, according to an analysis by the Economic Policy Institute. And nearly half of all non-union workers say they would vote for a union if they could -- a 50% increase over the results from a similar survey taken 40 years ago.. Yet in 2020, only 12% of all American workers were represented by a union. Why is there such a huge disparity between those who want union representation and those who have it? Too many loopholes in current labor law make union busting way too easy. Not only are there many currently legal ways for companies to intimidate workers and slow-walk the process, but also when companies resort to illegal tactics such as firing workers, they face no real consequences beyond having to rehire the workers and pay them back pay. Workers cannot sue companies or individuals, and there is no means to assess civil damages. Fortunately the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act introduced in Congress is designed to address this and other union-building issues. Show your support for legislation that will enhance workers’ ability to organize and bargain collectively for improvements in working conditions and pay by signing on now." Deficits, deficits, deficits -- for months the Republicans claimed this was their concern, and they held the nation hostage refusing to raise the debt ceiling and demanding massive cuts to programs that help working families. But now they’ve easily passed out of committee a bill that will yield billions of dollars in tax cuts for wealthy corporations, private equity firms, the richest 1%, and investors from other countries. Suddenly increasing the deficit no longer seems to be a concern for them. They will partly pay for their taxpayer giveaway to the ultra-wealthy by rolling back the green energy tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act. Never mind that that money was intended to modernize our economy, help break our dependence on fossil fuels, and fight climate change -- it’s more important to Republicans to line the pockets of corporations and millionaire donors than it is to save the planet from climate catastrophe. Republicans are trying to pass this new Tax Scam off as a one-time deal -- $80 billion here, $80 billion there. But they haven’t exactly been hiding that their real goal is to make these tax cuts permanent in the long run. It’s estimated by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget that the costs would multiply to more than $1.1 trillion over the next ten years. And that’s not even counting the $3.5 trillion from extending the Trump tax cuts already in place. There’s some overlap, but when we add it all up, the total costs could be over $4 trillion. Any way you sum it, that’s a significant chunk of change to give away to the already ultra-rich. In the end, it comes down to the continued concentration of wealth at the very top that would exacerbate economic inequality more and more year after year. The GOP Tax Scam 2.0 takes money from programs that help the most and privatizes it into the pockets of those who already control more than their fair share of the economy. All of society benefits when we manage greenhouse gasses, when we make sure people have access to quality healthcare, and when Social Security stays stable and secure.
