At the July 5, 2026 meeting of the Georgia Green Party Coordinating Council, the council approved a motion to endorse a statement initiated by the SanctionsKill Campaign entitled Return Venezuela’s Stolen Wealth for Full Quake Recovery. The council encourages Greens to endorse the statement as individuals and as members of other organizations in which they participate.

Georgia Greens Demand Congressional Commission to Investigate Epstein Pedophile Network
The Georgia Green Party encourages all Georgians to demand of their Congressional Representatives that they investigate, expose and prosecute the entire Epstein network of pedophiles and traffickers.
The party is proud to join the demand of Epstein Justice (https://epsteinjustice.com/) for a Congressional Commission for this purpose. And we would be remiss were we to fail to note that policies advocated in our platform for twenty or more years would have been vital to preventing the obscene levels of corruption we now witness in public affairs, which we suspect will be unearthed by any honest investigation.
In 2004, the national platform endorsed the Swedish model, now known as the Nordic Model, described now in the Georgia party platform as:
Greens support a goal of abolishing prostitution, with the adoption of Nordic-Model inspired reforms which: (1) criminalize pimping and pandering, (2) protect those prostituted by the industry from prosecution, (3) offers survivors social support sufficient to an exit strategy, and (4) leverage public educational resources to address men’s sense of entitlement to sexual access to women’s bodies.
Our platform has, since 2001 advocated for sex and health education in public schools to “encourage self-confidence, self-esteem and self-worth among young women, . . . (to) teach young people to respect each other’s choices”.
Since our original nominating convention in 1998, the party’s platform has called for a meaningful recall procedure to challenge and hold accountable sitting elected officials. We have fought for reasonable access to the ballot for our candidates as well as for voter initiatives necessary to set policies that elected officials ignore or refuse to enact. We have supported the right to referendum. Perhaps most fundamentally, our platform has demanded that we, . . .
. . . provide public financing of election campaigns so that a candidate’s meaningful access to the electoral system is not determined by money; and where candidate viability is determined by their appeal to the electorate not their appeal to wealthy contributors. (And that we prohibit the use of p)rivate money in public elections.
As a party brought together by a shared commitment to green values, among them democracy, we ask Georgians to confront the moral implications to the nation of allowing this corruption to go unchecked. The future of our children, our communities, our congregations, and our nation’s politics are at stake. We cannot ignore the grave miscarriage of justice, nor the corruption in the land. Our failure to demand accountability leaves us vulnerable. We have been warned that, “Whoever rewards evil for good, evil will not depart from his house.”
The Georgia Green Party urges that every Georgian reading this use the links on this page to find the contact information for your Members of Congress. Then use those phone numbers and email addresses to let yourself be heard on this issue.
While you have their office on the line, remind them you still oppose and condemn our nation’s complicity with the Occupation’s genocide in Palestine.
890 British pensioners were arrested on terrorism charges this past month for holding a silent vigil on Parliament Hill in London. They came together in solidarity with Palestine Action, for the humanity of Palestinians and in opposition to their nation’s complicity with the genocide in Gaza and the rest of the Occupied territories. Most of them face up to 14 years in prison for their action.
If we cannot end this corruption with our hands, let us at least speak against it with our voice.
On behalf of,
the state committee
of the Georgia Green Party
meeting Sunday evening, 2025-Sep-07P.S. If you have figured it out already, that you really could do a better job of serving your community than is the incumbent now in office, please contact the party. Preparations are already underway for our February 2026 Nominating Convention and the qualifying window the next month for candidates for public office. Let us explore together if there might be a seat for you on our 2026 slate.

Ask Your Friends If Their Political Parties Support Israel’s Genocide in Palestine
Without further research we cannot pinpoint the date when Green Party activists first started calling the Occupation’s response to the October 2023 Operation al-Aqsa Flood a genocide. But we know that the Georgia Green Party’s annual convention on May 18th, 2024 acknowledged with the addition of Plank 13 to the Foreign Policy Chapter of its platform that “the International Court of Justice (had found) that a ‘plausible genocide’ is being conducted by the state of Israel against the Palestinian people, particularly with respect to its actions in Gaza”.
We point this out not for we-told-you-so points. As with so many of our policy warnings, we really wish we were wrong about this.
Rather we seek to urge Green Party activists to challenge their friends still voting for the corporate parties. We must each ask how can they justify their support for these policies when they clearly have options. Even if they continue to pretend that Palestinian lives do not matter, they might choose to work with us at least for their own liberation from the oligarchs governing our own nation. Only a political strategy, independent of those oligarchs can deliver on such a promise.
Its hard to image a human heart so inured to suffering to not recognize what our tax dollars are paying for right now in Gaza. Which leads one to the conclusion that they know, and either (1) they do not care; or (2) they cower in fear from what Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer calls the Israeli Lobby. Neither possesses the integrity required for position of trust among our elected leadership.
We cannot resolve an issue we refuse to face.

Now is the time! Ask those Vote-shaming Democrats: Is Trump Really A Greater Evil? Greater than Genocide?
Two days ago, a two-plus decade long supporter of our efforts to build a new political party in Georgia called me with a great deal of anger and fear for another Trump administration to argue that ‘now is not the time’ for us to put at risk the chances for the Party of Genocide to retain the White House.
Yet, every election cycle is an opportunity to build political power independent of the corporate duopoly parties. Any election cycle not used for that purpose is wasted and sets back whatever progress we have made in previous election cycles. To demur at this time is to shrink from the challenge put before us. No one else will build this party but us.
When we registered on May 8th, 1996 with the Secretary of State as a political organization in Georgia, we said in our registration statement that our Party “is being organized to provide an electoral tool for the grassroots movement for social justice, peace and non-violence, participatory democracy and ecological sustainability”. In this year, the movement for peace and opposed to genocide has rallied around the campaign we mount as a vehicle vital to the expression of their political aspirations for this country. It would be a tragic abdication were we, at this late date, to withdraw from the field, to decline to participate or to deny the peace movement an opportunity to use the party we have built as a vehicle for their efforts.
We are hearing from the muslim supporters of our campaign that this is a time for sacrifice; that the sacrifices we are asked to make pale in comparison to the sacrifices being endured by our neighbors in Gaza and Palestine, in Syria and Libya and Yemen. They are urging us to take the risks demanded by our desire for change. We are listening as muslim advocates for the the Stein-Ware 2024 campaign push back against the bullying by democrats who express entitlement to our votes, reminding our communities that now is the time that we must play the long-game.
If our muslim neighbors are willing to risk another Trump administration, with its muslim bans and moving the US embassy to the contested city of Jerusalem and the heightened islamophobic rhetoric, certainly we can share that risk. Solidarity requires that we overcome the fear, that we share the sacrifice, that we face threats together.
And ultimately we can push back against the blue team’s bully tactics with a show stopping question of our own: what evil could possibly be greater than genocide?
The following was authored by a coastal Texan active with the Abandon Harris campaign.
Is Trump really worse?
In August 2024, just DAYS after Kamala announced she was running for President, the State Department, under Biden/Kamala, announced that the U.S. had approved another $20 billion weapons package to Israel to kill more innocent children and elders, to be sent to Isreal over the next 3-5 years
Again… how much of this money could be used here in America for homelessness, healthcare, education, and more domestically?
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/08/13/politics/us-military-sale-israel-20-billion-fighter-jets
‼️Kamala is in office as VP and just announced she’s running for President and has no influence over her own President and state department, and somehow expects to influence others after the election…
If she wants us to vote for her, influence her own President to overturn this before the election
‼️ Listen to the hypocrisy in Kamala’s speech at the Presidential debate
“Hamas, a terrorist organization, slaughtered 1,200 Israelis. Many of them young people who were simply attending a concert. Women were horribly raped…*.
Compared to when she followed within minutes with…
“far too many innocent Palestinians have been KILLED” …In which case
1) she had no mention of the numbers…let’s do the math…I believe 30,000+ far exceeds 1200 based on what I learned in kindergarten so I would expect the shock and awe to be around the larger #… and let’s not even start with the Hannibal Directive that was issued which caused who knows how many of the 1200 Isreali deaths…
(May God have mercy on all those who have been martyred on all sides, as not a single civilian death is acceptable)
2) She had no mention of murdered or slaughtered or bombed when she referred to the Palestinian deaths in her speech, whereas minutes earlier she personally chose to use the word “slaughtered’ in reference to the Israeli deaths (God have mercy on all)
3) No mention of proven rape of Palestinian prisoners, while she chose to emphasize the unfounded allegations of Israelis who were as she said “horribly raped”
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/israel-sexual-abuse-palestinian-prisoners-rcna165811
‼️At the DNC, Kamala and the Democratic party chose NOT to give equal rights to a Palestinian to speak while they allowed an Israeli to speak
https://www.axios.com/2024/08/22/dnc-palestinian-american-speech-denied
—On top of that…
‼️ In Dec 2023, Biden bypassed Congress twice to sell arms to Isreal (which Israel paid for with the annual $3.8 Billion in aid we’ve been sending every year)…
Had Trump done this, we would have all gone wild saying there was a fascist dictator in office but we stayed quiet since Biden was a Democrat

‼️*Obama averaged a bomb ???? EVERY 20 MINUTES* in 2016 while he was President
‼️We don’t say a word when Dems cause evil, and then when the Republicans do it, we yell and scream…
I definitely hate Trump and have always, but after learning about the hypocrisy of the Democrats in the executive branch (not necessarily the case with Congress etc), I’m having trouble seeing what makes them “the lesser of 2 evils” when the evils are as horrible as they are…

Abandon Harris to Launch Georgia Campaign
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tuesday, October 15th, 2024For further information, please contact:
press-secretary@georgiagreenparty.orgAbandon Harris to Launch Georgia Campaign
Georgia Green Party welcomes national effort, endorsementA Media Advisory
Event: Press Conference
Date/Time: Thursday, October 17th, 2024 at 11:30 am
Place: Martin Luther King Center; 449 Auburn Avenue; Atlanta GA 30312As their website puts it, “The Abandon Harris Campaign (formerly the Abandon Biden Campaign) seeks to empower people of conscience to leverage their vote for the US presidency and, consequently, effect moral change in the United States and around the world.” The strategy is simple: encourage voters to reject Harris and Trump, and any party complicit in war and genocide, by supporting candidates like Dr. Jill Stein who stand firmly against these atrocities. Last week, Abandon Harris officially endorsed Dr. Stein.
This endorsement reflects a significant shift, showing that people of conscience are moving away from traditional party lines to support leaders who align with their principles against genocide. Polling among Muslim voters shows that the non-Trump vote among Muslims is evenly split between Harris (D) and Stein (G). Dr. Rudolph (Butch) Ware, Dr. Jill Stein’s Vice-Presidential running mate, noted, “The Democrats have lost the Muslim vote. And we are never coming back”.
The Muslim vote in Georgia is estimated as at least 6 or 8 times the margin of victory which gave Biden the Georgia electoral college votes over Trump in 2020.
Dr. Hassan Abdel Salam, founder of the Abandon Harris effort, is expected to travel from Michigan to join this press conference in Atlanta.
The Georgia Green Party, since 1996, has been dedicated to building a political alternative that opposes imperial aggression, supports critical election reforms, demands universal healthcare access, addresses the climate crisis, and tackles the wide range of crises facing Georgia communities.

U.N. Special Rapporteur Asks Questions About “Altruistic Surrogacy” in Greece
The United Nations Human Rights Council appointed Reem Alsalem as Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, its causes and consequences. On July 8, 2024, she publicized her communication to the government of Greece regarding her concerns about “altruistic surrogacy” in its jurisdiction.
Ms. Alsalem wrote:
the regulation of surrogacy in Greece appears to disproportionately focus on the protection and security of the commissioning parents, while lacking effective safeguards and due considerations to the rights of the surrogate mother, and the children born through surrogacy.
The letter describes many ways in which the rights of surrogate mothers and the children born of these procedures are violated, and it is worth reading in full. Perhaps the most alarming questions revolve around the economic coercion practiced under the legal fiction of “altruistic surrogacy.”
[T]he regulation of surrogacy in Greece also has gaps concerning the protection of women living in situations of economic vulnerability. Indeed, according to information received, poor or migrant women are selected to be surrogate mothers precisely because of their vulnerable situation. Hence, according to data received, more than 60 per cent of surrogate mothers are not citizens of Greece. A study noted that most of them are from Bulgaria, Poland, Georgia, Albania, and Romania. This was intensified by the regulatory change in 2014, which allows surrogate mothers to not be Greek citizens, or even have permanent residency, placing migrant women at greater risk.
Additionally, I share the concern that, although according to Law 3089/2002 surrogacy should be carried out exclusively for “altruistic” purposes, there are allegations that surrogacy and egg “donation” are, in fact, carried out for financial reasons. It is possible to observe surrogate mothers who pretend to be the commissioner’s best friends (in accordance with the principle of altruism) but in reality, are usually younger non-Greeks than the commissioning parents or, in some situations, their foreign-born domestic workers.The Georgia Green Party Platform supports the Declaration on Women’s Sex-Based Rights and endorses the Draft International Convention for the Abolition of Surrogacy to protect women locally and globally from the exploitative surrogacy industry. The party commits to “protect women in Georgia and globally from the predatory domestic and global surrogacy market and its reliance on the trafficking of impoverished women’s bodies.”
In the discussions party members had prior to adopting this position, the question of “altruistic surrogacy” attracted focus. Evidence showing how jurisdictions which allowed surrogacy under this label had abuses like those Ms. Alsalem suspects are happening in Greece persuaded the party that abolition was the best policy.
Join the Georgia Green Party and help it promote this important human rights issue.
