Seattle Greens were out, despite the blustery weather, to protest the Citizens United Supreme Court decision on its second anniversary, Jan. 20 2012.

Help take action on getting Big Money and Big Business out of politics!

At our monthly meeting on April 4th we explored, along with a panel of experts, just what can be done to fight the gains Big Business and Big Money have made in altering our social, political and economic structures for their own benefits. The conversation was inspiring and driven by a commitment to intellect, curiosity, and a desire to make a difference.

Green Party of Seattle members join the Occupy movement to peacefully protest further budget cuts in Olympia Monday Nov 28th.

Some members of the Green Party of Seattle will be participating in the Occupy Olympia action during the special session of the state legislature beginning on November 28th. We will strongly oppose the budget cuts being put forth by the governor and legislature while countering them with proposals to end outrageous corporate loopholes and to fund programs for those in need, as well as education and jobs for the 99% majority. All of those participating are very committed to non -violence and all of our actions will be non-violent under all circumstances.

We will be leaving at 8 AM from Seattle Central Community College with Green Party banners, signs and supplies (food, drink, sleeping gear etc.) to help ourselves and our brothers and sisters keep going. If you would like to go, please call Joe Szwaja at 523-3278 or email him at joeszwaja@earthlink.net.

Westlake Park SAT October 16

Green Party of Seattle members unanimously agreed to endorse the Occupy Seattle and the broader Occupy Wall St. movement at our October 5 meeting. Seattle Greens agree that the 2 corporate parties are not representing the interest of citizens. The 99% should work together to take our democracy back back from the corporate elite. We encourage Greens and all Seattle citizens to join and support the protestors in every way possible. See you at Westlake!
