A Revolution of Values: The West/Abdullah Administration‘s Blueprint for Transformative Change in 100 Days

The West/Abdullah administration‘s first 100 days in office would usher in a paradigm shift in American politics, rooted in the tripartite pillars of truth, justice, and love.

Key initiatives include:

Immediate action on economic justice and poverty abolition
Radical education reform and environmental protection measures
Bold steps on healthcare access and gender equality
Transformative foreign policy and immigration reform
Concrete actions on racial justice and democratic reform
Prioritization of workers‘ rights and labor protections

How Jill Stein‘s Muslim Surge Could Sink Kamala Harris

(September 21, 2024)

Recent polls show Stein ahead of Harris among Muslim voters in several battleground states, including Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin, giving her Green Party a potentially pivotal role in swinging the election away from Harris in favor of former President Donald Trump.

„We‘re grateful for the strong support of Muslim voters who share with us the determination to end genocide in Gaza, and the injustice faced by our Muslim friends,“ Stein told Newsweek in a statement. „We urge all people of conscience to resist the propaganda telling you to hold your nose and vote for genocide.

Stein-Ware for President Field Map

Minor party and independent presidential candidates must obtain or maintain ballot access in each state before every presidential election. This requires a coordinated nationwide ballot access plan, and state-wide petitioning processes to collect hundreds of thousands of signatures and pay various fees for that candidate to appear on a state ballot and allow people to vote for them.

YOU can help us get on the ballot across the country by volunteering to petition in your state, making a financial contribution, and registering to vote so we can turn this entire map Green!

Jill Stein on Supreme Court decision keeping Greens off Nevada ballot: “another win for Democrats’ war on democracy”

(September 20, 2024)

“The Nevada Green Party submitted more than 29,000 signatures for ballot access, almost three times the required number, yet the Nevada Secretary of State, the Democratic Party, and the supreme courts of both Nevada and the United States believe they should be disenfranchised because the Democratic Secretary of State provided us with incorrect petition forms. This is a slap in the face to democracy, to the rule of law, and to the millions of voters in Nevada who are being denied a real choice in the presidential election.

“To quote our legal brief to the Supreme Court, ‘there is only one Due Process Clause. [The Nevada Green Party] contends that it violates that Clause for the government to tell someone to stand on a carpet and then pull that carpet out from under them.’

American Muslim 2024 Election Task Force Calls on Muslim Voters to Turn Out, Support Candidates Who Back Permanent Ceasefire, Arms Embargo, and Other Just Policies

Our message for the American Muslim community

Disagree respectfully: we understand that voting is a personal choice, and our perspectives and personal analysis can lead us all in different directions. Thus, there may not be a definitively right or wrong answer to the question of how American Muslims should vote in 2024. We expect disagreements to occur.

Although healthy debate is valuable, our community members should not disparage each other or assume the worst of each other’s intentions—especially of leaders and groups that have a history of doing good work and acting in good faith.

We must also reject those voices on either side of the 2024 debate who attempt to turn political and strategic disagreement about how to vote into a racial or religious conflict that divides our community.

WATCH: Biden-Harris Worked ‚Around the Clock‘ for Months on Gaza Ceasefire Deal That‘s Never Going to Happen

(September 20, 2024)

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have claimed for months to be working „around the clock“ on a Gaza ceasefire deal that is „close“ to happening. Spoiler alert: It‘s not going to happen because Hamas, the terrorist organization that massacred Israeli civilians on Oct. 7, doesn‘t want to release their hostages.

Despite their reportedly tireless efforts to negotiate with the terrorists, the Biden-Harris administration has privately conceded that a ceasefire deal won‘t happen before the end of Biden‘s term in January 2025. „No deal is imminent,“ a Biden-Harris official told the Wall Street Journal. „I‘m not sure it ever gets done.“
