Dr. Butch Ware. Professor of History, lifelong educator, activist, scholar, and organizer.

Theories of anti-capitalist and decolonial transformation must inform our efforts, but revolutions are built in practice, not on paper. History must be our guide, but this moment in the collapse of Western imperialism has no precise precedent, so our freedom dreams must surpass our ancestors’ in their audacity. Revolution is evolution; it is a dynamic process that must be given new life in each age and epoch until freedom is finally seized. We must cultivate the radical imagination, ingenuity, and empowerment to light our own way to liberation. Join Dr. Butch Ware, and a host of artists, intellectuals, activists, and organizers for an afternoon of political organizing, cultural production, spiritual communion, and solidarity building.  There will be panel discussions, musical performances, free food and drink, poetry, live podcast recordings, mutual aid activations, direct action and electoral power building sessions. The goal is to connect comrades, creators, and communities so that together we can chart our next steps in building revolutionary culture, love, and political power.

Netanyahu is desperate to occupy Gaza because he wants custody of the crime scene. Zionists want to sanitize the carnage because they know that if international observers are ever given unfettered access to Gaza, they will find an Auschwitz on every block, and that will be the end of Isra*l. Western powers are committed to enabling such an occupation because they are full partners in every last war crime. They continue to throw around 60K+ as the death toll. Population based data and public health research indicates the real toll will be in the hundreds of thousands. If they lose control of the crime scene, Gaza will be the graveyard of not just Zionism, but Western Imperialism itself.

I am neither a Pro-life ‘abortion banner’ nor a transphobe. I believe firmly in the sacred dignity of every single human being. It saddens me to have to announce this, because I have NEVER - in public or in private - taken a position against a woman’s right to choose, or against the rights of the lgbtq and trans communities to live the lives they choose.   Yesterday I was made aware of the hurt caused by the proliferation of two shorts clip of my recent comments on a political interview program. These comments were taken out of context and used to paint me as holding views I fundamentally reject. Let me be clear: the values I stand for and the principles I uphold are rooted in full inclusion, respect, and justice for all communities, especially our LGBTQAI2S+ family, who have long been at the forefront of the Green movement for equality. The remarks in question, presented in a hostile interview, were misrepresented through selective editing to suggest otherwise. In context, I was engaging in what I thought was a discussion of a nuanced policy on Olympic inclusion based on information shared by the IOC, not making a statement against trans inclusion. Unfortunately, certain individuals have chosen to distort my words, weaponizing them to undermine our movement and campaign. In my eleven-week crash course into the world of electoral politics, I have learned that unethical people are paid good money to twist the words and sully the name of good people. They turn midnight into high noon with selective editing, cherry-picking sound bites to produce ‘gotcha’ moments that never were. The fear and desperation of democrats to drive a wedge into the Green Party base has driven this process into overdrive. They have now been caught multiple times trying to utilize black talk radio to further this agenda.   Throughout my career, I have been a vocal advocate for queer rights, and I remain committed to the liberation of all marginalized communities. It is a priority for me to stand alongside trans and queer individuals in every fight for equity, including the urgent struggle against violence targeting queer and trans women of color. I know that the misperception caused by these comments has hurt members of the LGBTQ+ community, especially those who have felt misrepresented or unprotected. For that, I am truly sorry. I have already spoken with the officers of the National Lavender Greens Caucus and appreciate their willingness to engage in open, honest conversation on this matter. I am committed to continuing this dialogue beyond the immediate demands of this election season, to ensure that our party's values and my own are as clear and unwavering as ever.

Only MASSIVE civil disobedience is going to save us now. Electoral politics alone CANNOT save us. Team Red is staging a full authoritarian takeover, and Team Blue cannot and will not fight it because to do so would alienate their donors and end their party. Meanwhile, the media is normalizing every successive step in the collapse of even the pretense of democracy. The massive repression is being fueled by an acute fear of the people’s organization. Only a commensurate escalation in our direct action will stem this tide. I am running for office in California (not as a Dem or Repub) because my heroes Malcolm, Huey, Fannie Lou, Kwame; all used electoral politics to organize. But not one of those Black revolutionaries believed that elections alone could save us. And at this rate, even the sham elections Blue & Red have been staging will soon be a mere memory. If you want freedom, liberation, basic human rights for ALL human beings..:if you want an end to genocide abroad and fascism at home, you better be ready to organize for direct action. NOW.
