After a freakin’ out over the corporate party’s candidates, Green Cat is feline good about Voting Green!
From the Green Party of Minneapolis: We think #divesting from #fossilfuels is sustainable. We think #dismantling racist #JimCrow misdemeanors (and restoring the right to vote) are just. That’s why our elected Cam Gordon - Minneapolis City Council Second Ward has fought for both. Green Party Minneapolis Green Party (5th CD)
Green Cat says Vote Green for Single-Payer Healthcare! The Green Party supports Medicare For All and opposed Obamacare, because we believe a health care system should guarantee all Americans high-quality, low-cost medical care rather than sustain the health insurance industry.

Green Party leaders and candidates are calling for the demilitarization of civilian U.S. police departments, asserting that military police tactics have created an “occupation mentality” in many communities.
Greens said that abuses of police power and disregard for the lives of young black people were on display in the shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a white police officer, threats against reporters, and a display of force that turned peaceful protest into a violent confrontation in Ferguson, Missouri. Greens expressed support for the protesters.
