GPSCC Endorses Dr. Jill Stein for Green Party Presidential Nomination in 2024
November 17, 2023 – The Green Party of Santa Clara County has enthusiastically endorsed Dr. Jill Stein for Green Party Presidential Nomination in 2024, and we are proud to support her campaign.
Jill launched her 2024 presidential bit as a Green Party candidate on November 9th, a few weeks after Dr. Cornel West announced he was switching from running for president as a Green to running as an independent.
Dr. Jill Stein is well known to Santa Clara County Greens who supported her presidential run in both 2012 and 2016 and widely supported her campaigns that championed the Green New Deal, addressing income inequity, reducing the war budget, canceling student debt, universal healthcare, and strengthening social safety nets.
As a committed Green, Jill has been a strong voice in growing the Green Party by highlighting the role of Greens in challenging empire and demanding that our government serve US, the people, and not the corporations that own our so-called representatives from the parties of war and Wall Street.
As a Harvard-educated doctor, a pioneering environmental health advocate, and an organizer for people, planet, and peace, Jill has helped lead initiatives to fight environmental racism and injustice, to promote healthy communities, and to revitalize democracy in her 30-year span of activism and political career.
Jill has also helped win victories in campaign finance reform, racially-just redistricting, and the clean-up of incinerators, coal plants, and other toxic threats. She was a principal organizer for the Global Climate Convergence for People, Planet, and Peace over Profit. She lead the “Secure Green Future” ballot initiative in Massachusetts to move subsidies from fossil fuels to renewable energy and to create green jobs. The measure won over 81 percent of the vote in the 11 districts in which it was on the ballot.
