As Earth Day celebrations continue into this week, please consider making a contribution to GPNY so we can produce more competitive campaigns, more compelling and inspiring resources and events, and be a more powerful ally to social movements. Registered Greens can contribute Supporting Member Dues to strengthen local organizing, and we are grateful to allies who are monthly Sustaining Donors. It's up to us to win Real Solutions that can't wait!
April and May are not just the peak months of spring, but a time when Greens give thanks to Mother Earth and its working people. As eco-socialists, we know capitalism seeks to exploit nature and workers, but Greens are working hard to build social movements and elect candidates who will change the system.
We’d love to know how you and your local Greens and allies celebrated Earth Day (or Earth Week...or even Earth Month). Share pics or videos of your events and actions to [email protected] or to GPNY on Facebook.
Earth Day To May Day
We also encourage Greens to join with allies in solidarity with and celebration of worker struggles on May Day (Wednesday, 05/01), aka International Workers Day. If you’re not aware of any events in your area, call up your local worker rights center, central labor council and other groups dedicated to worker power and see if they have any plans...or it’s not too late to host your own event like a cook-out, movie night or even a rally in your town square or downtown!
And don’t forget to share those pictures and videos from your day ;)
