Emily Good's Bio
Emily Good was born in Rochester and has been a social justice advocate since an early age. After graduating from Webster High School, she spent a year as a Rotary exchange student in Venezuela, and then moved on to Tufts University, where she graduated with bachelor degrees in Community Health and Peace and Justice Studies.
Intrigued by the interconnection among all movements for social, economic, and environmental justice, she has spent time working as a youth mentor in the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest, an elder caregiver and wellness worker, and as a child caregiver.
Since returning to Rochester in 2008, Emily has volunteered at St. Joseph's House of Hospitality as an overnight shelter worker and continues to engage in wide-ranging community activism. She is a founding member of the Flying Squirrel Community Space, a grassroots, low-cost meeting space committed to learning and liberation.
Emily is running for Sheriff because far too many members of this community are wrongly incarcerated. She has been held in jail numerous times without ever being convicted of a crime, and knows that others have fared far worse. Families are broken apart by a heartless system that criminalizes poverty and perpetuates social decay. As a democratically elected official, Emily pledges to target the underlying causes of violent crime, support community efforts to recover from decades of harmful antagonism, and oversee a department that is transparent and accountable to the people.

It has never been a more crucial time for Greens to run for local office than right now. Town Councils, School Boards, City Council, and more are up this year and the the standard "two" parties aren't cutting it. Join us as we discuss what offices are open, how to run, and what resources are available to help.
Also, the Green Party of Monroe County is overdue to elect new officers: 2 Co-chairs, a Secretary, and Treasurer are all up and any local registered Green can run and vote at this meeting. (If you would like to run but can't be at the meeting, please let us know.)
Tuesday, March 23 from 7-9pm.

Folks comment that Greens do not win elections. We know that's not true, but here's your chance to elevate our party. Join us!
NOTE: In spite of what the Board of Elections (and the Working Families Party) says, you are still registered Green. This is another trick of corporate-sponsored politicians to try to take away our power. You ARE still a Green. So please join us on Tuesday.

Conservative Judges on the Green's Ballot Line?
A number of local Greens have gotten their absentee ballot and wondered why there are Conservative Republican Judges running on the Green Party's line. Have we endorsed them? No. The Green Party has not endorsed any of these candidates for Judge in any local race this year. What happened was the result of what played out earlier in the year in which we told you about during the Primary season. Read More.

Green Party of Monroe County Calls for Mayor & Police Chief to Resign
(Rochester, NY) - The Green Party of Monroe County is calling for the resignation of Mayor Lovely Warren and Police Chief, La’Ron Singletary. We also insist that City Council dismantle the Rochester Police Department and replace it with an accountable, public safety-oriented entity that does not routinely injure, and sometimes, kill citizens.
Here is June's Monthly Meeting on the City of Rochester budget. We contacted City Council & the Mayor to make suggestions and they took none of them. Watch the presentation to see what havoc will be wrought.
Did you leave us to support Bernie Sanders in the Primary?
That's OK. Bernie's isn't a Democrat either. You can switch back to the party where you belong by downloading and mailing in this form:
