Nevada Green Party Newsletter – February 2024 Edition

The upcoming dates for the Nevada Delegate Convention: Mark your calendars! Our Delegate Convention will be held, on Zoom, Monday March 25th through Saturday March 30th, 2024. Which coincidentally is also when our Steering Committee elections take place for Co-Chair and Historian. We will need all your votes!

At this last meeting, it was decided by unanimous vote, all volunteers for the upcoming Presidential Nominating Convention, held by GPUS, will be honored. Therefore Daniel Alves, Margery Hanson and Paul Malikowski will be our representatives at the PNC. Due to the inactivity of one of the other volunteers, we will have one open seat for the PNC, which will be decided at our Delegate Convention.

Lo and behold! We have a QR Code for Voter Registration! Which will be distributed for use as soon as next week. Thank you Co Chair Daniel Alves for your work on this and thank you Andrea Warzlow for all your work on our necessary documentation!

We have also discovered an app entitled “Mobilize Me”. We’ll be joining their forum to broadcast our events over the upcoming election cycle and beyond. We were invited to join and best of all, it’s FREE.

Rick Lass, Ballot Access Director from the Jill Stein campaign, has informed us, we have a little over 7000 signatures towards Ballot Access in Nevada … 5000 to go! As it stands at this moment, we will be sending all the Nevada Ballot Access Petitions, to each respective County Clerk’s office via Certified Mail. That way we save on travel expenses and we have a record of receipt.

Over the next few weeks, we will be sending out a  list of Open Political Offices. Do YOU want to run for office? We want to support YOU! To that end, we are currently working on becoming a 501C4. Hopefully that effort will be completed before the end of March, that way we’ll be a non-profit and be able to offer our endorsement to Green candidates running for office. Just remember, if you do want to run for office, the final day to file for office, in the state of Nevada, is March 15th, 2024.

Look for new swag here.

And as always, we value your input and your support. No contribution is too small. Thank you for all you do!

Nevada Green Party January 2024 Edition

More People
We love when more people come to our meetings! Whether you talk more than Margery, or stay muted the whole time, you are welcome to join!

Canvassing
We need ideas for local events because googling will only do so much. If you have any ideas, like local theater events or farmers markets or, well any event, please let us know. We are also asking for volunteers to come sit with us when we’re tabling and help us to gain Ballot Access signatures, as well as register voters. We have our tent and banner, and we are not afraid to use them! Our Green Party Canvassers are doing a great job but, we’ll take any help we can get. If you have an event you’d like us to attend, or would like to help in any way please reach out to:

Very Cool Pamphlet
We have a tri-fold pamphlet, which can be printed at home, featuring GPNV member artwork (which we can rotate through, to show off our wonderful members) and information, to be handed out or pinned on a local board, to spread the Green Party word!

Illegal Border Dispute
In other news, The Green Party of Nevada does not agree with governor Joe Lombardo, who supports allowing an illegal and dangerous blockade at the Texas border. The actions taken by Texas are abhorrent and should be stopped immediately. We also condemn president Joe Biden for failing to implement the action he stated he would .
The Nevada Green Party does not support the oppression of the most vulnerable people of our planet.
The way to resolve immigration, is by updating immigration laws, not using punitive and archaic laws to justify harming any people, who are seeking legal sanctuary in the United States.

Free Palestine
We of The Nevada Green Party deplore all violence, except in the matter of self defense. We find the blockade of food, water, electricity and medical care, to the indigenous people of Palestine, unacceptable. The Nevada Green Party also rebukes the Zionist Government for allowing the displacement of Palestinians since 1948. We abhor the collective punishment of Palestinians by Zionists and condemn the United States Government for being willing participants, by sending more weapons of death and destruction to Zionists, to continue attacks on innocent civilians, in the name of Capitalism and Colonialism, a violation of not only International Law, but also of the Geneva Convention. We find the bombing of hospitals and refugee encampments reprehensible. We find the blockade of vital food, water and medicine by the Zionists to be iniquitous. We stand with a Single State Solution, a return of Palestine to Palestinians and the dissolution of Zionist Settler Colonialism in all its forms and fashions. We join the call to have the United Nations implement measures to end the genocide in Palestine.

Be Seen Going Green!

Change Can Be Made

Some years feel like 365,000 days, don’t they? Multiple house speakers, train derailments, bank failures, interest rate spikes, wildfires, and multiple wars later, we have just now, finally reached the end of the year. So many things are happening, sometimes it’s hard for us to keep up. Some happier things happened as well, strikes improved labor conditions, politicians are being held accountable, Minnesota showed that progressive policies work, and Nevada Republican Governor Joe Lombardo, signed a legislature passed bill, to increase the purchasing and possession amount of Cannabis.

Change can be made and we can be a part of it. I would like to personally tell you that you’re doing a great job in life and thank you for showing interest in our party. It makes me happy that so many people believe in us and our message. We always ask for your financial help, which we appreciate greatly and can’t survive without. Thank you!

This next year I ask for something else, your time. 2024 is an election year and I think we can all agree, we do not like the two front runners. To have an election we Nevadans can be proud of, we need your help, if you can offer it. If you would like to help with signatures, planning, or some cold calling just let us know, we would be eternally grateful. With your help we are getting closer to our goal of getting on the ballot. I might be one of those people on the ballot.

If you would like to volunteer, please contact us here:

I hope the new year brings you joy, health, and most of all peace.

Co-Chair Daniel Alves
