  • Growing Up Targeted: the Expose COINTELPRO Education Series

    Growing Up Targeted, postponed due to death in family
    An episode of our Expose COINTELPRO Education Series

    The Georgia Green Party is a founding member of the COINTELPRO Full Disclosure Coalition to pass HR-2998.

    This event features a panel including the now grown children of former political prisoners Fulani Sunni-Ali (may she be well rewarded for her many contributions) and Georgia resident, Baba Bilal Sunni-Ali who survived Sr. Fulani’s untimely death, perhaps six or eight years ago now. Sr. Fulani for many years co-hosted with Sulaiman Mahdi, (who was himself a founding member of the Georgia Green Party, may he too be long remembered and well rewarded), a weekly program on Radio Free Georgia (WRFG-89.3FM).

    Please mark your calendar and plan to attend this event. Use this link to RSVP your intentions and to register with the zoom platform for connection credentials.

    COINTELPRO is not just about history, but about the police state tactics which continue to be used by law enforcement to undermine the Constitutionally protected activities which constitute legitimate political organizing in service of our communities.
    We will know neither democracy nor justice so long as political dissent is criminalized. We will never know freedom when the police powers of the state constrain acceptable political opinions or the boundaries of debate on matters of public policy, when it is acceptable that they neutralize effective organizing. The First Amendment is empty under the chill of law enforcement surveillance of political debate in public fora.
    The Church Commission may have advanced this work. Yet we now live in an age of the PATRIOT Act, with the FBI targeting ‘black identity extremists’, and operating a countering violent extremism program which targets muslims gathered for prayer while ignoring white supremacist organizing. Our public fora are hosted by a corporate surveillance state. There remains much work we have left to do.
    We hope to see Greens from across Georgia and beyond on the call this coming Sunday afternoon!
  • Georgia Green Party 2022 Additional Annual Meeting, September 23rd and 24th

    Notice is given of, and Greens from across Georgia are urged to gather for, the 2022 Additional Annual Convention of the Georgia Green Party. We will convene on Friday, September 23rd, at 7pm for two hours; then again on Saturday, September 24th at 10am, with plans to adjourn at 4pm that afternoon. Please ignore notice of an earlier August date for this event.  The July 17th meeting of the state committee were agreed to roll back the dates to allow more time for platform work in advance of this annual opportunity to amend the state party’s governing policy document.  Green Party members and others registered to participate in the Convention are invited to schedule at one hour intervals, opportunities for Greens from their counties to caucus for the purpose of naming delegates from their county to the additional Annual Convention for 2020 of the Georgia Green Party.  This virtual event will be hosted on an online conferencing platform and pre-registration is required.

    This meeting will consider nominations for internal party offices, including eight two year seats and two one year seats on the state committee, plus two two year seats on the state party’s Delegation on National Green Party Affairs.  The Annual Meeting will also consider proposed amendments to the state party platform and proposed changes to the bylaws as such may have been previously reviewed by the state committee.

    Our Party has traditionally held its nominating convention on the first Saturday of June in each election year. But the 2017 session adopted HB-268 ignoring case law finding that an early qualifying deadline for emerging political parties is unconstitutional in order to align for the convenience of the office of the Secretary of State, the qualifying period for candidates of a political body (like the Green Party, who nominate by convention and petition) with the qualifying period for candidates of the political parties (Republicans and Democrats which nominate by Primary). This calendar change has cost our party 130 days or more for its candidate recruitment efforts. The officers of the Georgia Green Party welcome queries from Georgia attorneys willing to help us litigate this and other issues related to ballot access for Green Party candidates in Georgia.

    In March of this year, our slate of two candidates for the Georgia General Assembly qualified with the Secretary of State.  They are busy finalizing their ballot access petitioning efforts to secure their place on the ballot.  Bradley Smith in Georgia 106th District and Jimmy Cooper from Georgia’s 145th District are each expected to attend.  Party officers remain eager to speak with you about opportunities to run in subsequent election cycles for public office in your community as well.

  • Georgia Green Party condemns corruption of Biden Administration and State Department to overturn the democratic will of the citizens of Pakistan


     

     

    IDB #2022-5:3
    as adopted, April 17 th , 2022

    A Resolution of the
    Coordinating Committee of the
    Georgia Green Party

    Whereas, in the early morning hours of Saturday, April 9th, 2022, Pakistan’s National Assembly in Islamabad, adopted with a narrow majority, a motion expressing no-confidence in the Coalition government led by Prime Minister Imran Khan; and

    Whereas, as a result of this vote, Imran Khan lost his seat as Prime Minister and caused to be scheduled for the following Tuesday, an parliamentary election to name a new Prime Minister; and

    Whereas, it was broadly speculated that Shebaz Sharif was expected to assume the role as the Prime Minister; and

    Whereas, Sharif is the younger brother of a former Prime Minister of Pakistan prohibited by judicial order from assuming political office due to his past convictions for public corruption; and

    Whereas, Khan’s Coalition government consistently pursued foreign policies seeking independence from the Washingon Consensus of imperial agression around the world, refusing the use of Pakistan bases for US CIA operations in Afhanistan and seeking closer trade relationships with China and Russia; and

    Whereas, in the midst of the Ramadan fast, millions of supporters rallied and marched in cities, large and small, across the South Asian nation; and

    Whereas, it is common knowledge among Pakistanis, though under reported in the Western media, that:

    • members of the coalition organizing the vote of no-confidence, including specifically Shebaz Sharif, were facing imminent corruption convictions in prosecutions now largely suspended following the ouster of Prime Minister Khan;
    • the ascendacy of Shebaz Sharif as Prime Minister provides him immunity, as a matter of law, from prosecution for the charges he faced until his election;
    • that the Biden Administration had used economic incentives and heavy handed threats of U.S. retaliation in the event that the Parliament in Islamabad failed to overthrow the Khan Coalition government; and
    • that large sums of U.S. dollars and foreign policy incentives were used to grease palms to build support for the no-confidence vote.

    Resolved, that the Georgia Green Party condemns as despicable, the actions of the Biden Administration to interfere in the democratically elected government of yet another sovereign nation.

    Resolved, that the Georgia Green Party calls on Congress to investigate the corrupt practices of the Biden Administration and its State Department to overturn the democratic will of the citizens of Pakistan to form their own government and to pursue public policies in the best interests of the Pakistani people.

    idb2022-5.3–GaGP_condemns_Biden_Administration_interference_in_Pakistan


    In the midst of the Ramadan fast, Imran Khan, Member of Parliament recently ousted
    as Prime Minister in a U.S. State Department financed coup, has drawn crowds of millions
    at political rallies held after taraweeh prayers observed late at night during the Muslim fast.

     

  • Georgia Green Party endorses BLM Joint Statement on Ukraine

    The state committee of the party has agreed to endorse the Black Liberation Movement Joint Statement on Ukraine

    US War Record -- 6m dead, no sanctions
    US War Record — 6m dead, no sanctions

    Ms. Binta:

    Ramadan Mubarak. I pray this finds you and your family doing well.

    It is my privilege to report, that on a conference call of its state committee, held this evening, April 2nd, 2022, the Georgia Green Party was agreed, without objection, and with one member standing aside, to endorse the Black Liberation Movement Joint Statement on Ukraine. We do so with a single caveat that our existing platform gives us no authority to speak in support of ‘universal childcare’, but that otherwise the foreign and domestic policy aims advanced by this statement are well within the framework of the existing policy of the party. Further, the historical analysis of this paper is in keeping with our perspective on the U.S. imperial aggression driving this conflict with potential nuclear consequences.

    Thank you for this initiative by the NBLM National Unity Initiative.

    In your publicity, please identify our support as:

    Georgia Green Party
    Kweku Lumumba and David Josue, co-chairs

    Please be sure to advise us of how we might support the promotion of this statement and the policy goals it outlines.

    Yours sincerely,
    — Hugh Esco, Secretary
    Georgia Green Party

  • Support HR-2998: Release the COINTELPRO Papers

     


    The FBI’s COINTELPRO remains one of the darkest chapters in our nation’s history. For decades, the FBI carried out covert actions and dirty tricks against social movements. COINTELPRO (Counter Intelligence Program) included among the program’s many targets, organizations such as the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the anti-Vietnam War movement, and individuals such as Martin Luther King, Jr, as well as local, state, and federal elected officials.

    There’s a bill in Congress that will open up the FBI’s files.  HR 2998 would require full, public release of the FBI’s COINTELPRO files. This historic bill is an important step to reconciling with the FBI’s continued legacy of undemocratic abuses of power.

     

     

    Please help us make history and expose FBI dirty tricks. Please write your member of Congress today to ask them to support this bill and to support efforts to broaden it to cover the full scope of FBI files.

    Email Script:

    “I am a constituent. I want my representative to support HR 2998 that will require full, public release of the FBI’s COINTELPRO files and to support efforts to broaden it to cover the full scope of FBI files records subject to disclosure. This historic bill is an important step to reconciling with the FBI’s continued legacy of undemocratic abuses of power.”

    “I am a constituent. I want my representative to support HR 2998 that will require full, public release of the FBI’s COINTELPRO files and to support efforts to broaden it to cover the full scope of FBI files records subject to disclosure.”

  • National Black Caucus Supports Freedom Convoy and Black Truckers

    The Green Party of the United States Black Caucus (GP-BC) has announced its support for the Freedom Convoy, an educational effort to help the public learn more about vaccine mandates and the best way to respond to government overreach.

    “We are calling on all people to unite in solidarity.” says Philena Farley, National Media Co-Chair & Black Caucus Media Coordinator “The time to be divided is over. This is a time to stand together with our sisters and brothers, regardless of race or gender, in this struggle against tyranny. We are under attack by the corporate elites on every level of government. They are robbing us blind. The one thing the elites hate is unity among the working class because they thrive in dividing us by race, gender, politics, religion, class and more.”

    Truckers against vaccine mandates is an international movement of citizens and truck drivers who are opposed to the forced use of government vaccines.  “Long-distance trucking has been part of my family history since 1975.” Black Caucus Co-Founder George Friday states in remembrance,  “My father was a long-distance trucker throughout my high school and college years and all of my brothers have also been truckers. Independence was the reason they chose that profession. A high amount of personal freedom and not too many interactions with racism or discrimination. They got to do things on their own terms and make their own decisions which is important for any of us.”

    From Jamil Jivani  – debut in Newsweek – Stop Calling Truckers Racist –  to correct the record on the trucker convoy in Ottawa, Canada.

    “We have no reason to believe the majority of truckers in the convoy are racist. In fact, appropriate for the month of February, the trucker convoy is actually a Black history moment.

    Countless trucker convoy participants and supporters are Black. A popular Instagram account called “poc4freedomconvoy” (shorthand for People of Color for Freedom Convoy) with over 60,000 followers has documented the outpouring of support that the trucker convoy received from members of Black communities across Canada. The account’s first post is a picture of Chanceline Rukundo that reads, “I am Burundian/Canadian and I support the #freedomconvoy2022.”

    This year’s Black History Month is a chance to see that Black people are not merely victims of history, but makers of it—exactly as Dr. Woodson intended. The trucker convoy is an example of Black people playing a meaningful role in shaping their countries. Don’t let liberal politicians or mainstream media corporations convince you of anything less.”

    A post shared by POC 4 FREEDOMCONVOY ???????? (@poc4freedomconvoy)

    The Green Party of the United States Black Caucus calls for the end of vaccine mandates and demands an immediate suspension of all state and federal mandates for vaccinations, including those for children and adults.

    Personal & Global Responsibility • Future Focus on Sustainability

    On the 10th of February, women were brutally attacked by the police for daring to ask for better working conditions and a liveable wage. During two consecutive days, the National Society of Industrial Parks (SONAPI) brutally responded to a crowd of predominantly female workers because of their demand of 1,500 Haitian Gourdes ($14.53 USD) for a full day of work. The current salary is 550 Haitian gourdes ($5.33 USD) for a twelve hour work day. That is about .60 cents an hour. The workers were demanding less than $2.00 USD an hour, when they were met with live ammunition from the Haitian National Police (PNH) under the command of Frantz Elbé.We were happy to learn from journalist Herve Noel that citizen Minalda Pierre from Building 51 in DMS at SONAPI isn’t dead, but we are awaiting an update on the condition of her unborn baby.

    The Georgia Green Party stands in solidarity with the workers of SONAPI in Haiti and all workers in the Republic of Haiti. Citizens and consumers in the USA should play a vital role in supporting Haitian workers as 80% of all Haitian exports are to the USA. Therefore, it must matter to us to support a liveable wage for workers and to boycott all merchandise created with slave labor.  Stores like Walmart and Target, and brands like Hanes are selling Haitian-made merchandise to consumers in the USA, while the workers are facing certain death to earn a liveable wage.  Among the list of companies operating in SONAPI are: Blanket America, Willbes, One Apparel, Gap, Jos.A Bank, FCGI, The Men’s Warehouse, Tommy Hilfilger, Nautica, Bureau Veritas CSCC, Fishman & Tobin, Fishman & Tobin Landau, Van Heusen.

    Let us rally all our resources and allies to aid Haitian workers. Let not the workers of the world remember the silence of their friends.
