Statement on the Killing of Daniel Prude
Press release regarding the police killing of Rochester citizen Daniel Prude.
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.

Don't Throw Your Vote Away! Vote Green!
Why is there inaction in New York on climate change, and single payer health care, and real public safety, and all of the things we have been demand
ing for decades? The Democrats are in complete power of our state government and yet nothing of any substance has changed. At what point do we say "Enough!"?
Whether you're a long-time Green, a used-to-be-Green, or an it's-about-time-I-become-a-Green, there are things happening that you can take part in to make actual systemic change take place.
On Earth Day, Friday, April 22nd, there is an Earth Day rally happening in Albany. The Green Party of Monroe County is working with a host of other groups to get people there to demand real action to combat climate change. The bus is leaving Rochester at 6:30am from the Park & Ride in Fairport next to St. John Fisher College. Please let us know if you need a ride to the pick up spot by replying to this email or calling Dave at 585-315-7687.

If you're concerned about climate change, single payer health care, Black lives, over-incarceration, housing, food justice, and on and on, we need people to vote for who will actually fight for these things. The Green Party is proud to announce that Howie Hawkins is going to be the Green Party's candidate for Governor with Gloria Mattera as his running mate for Lt. Governor.
In case you missed it, over the last 2 years, the Democratic Party has waged a war against third parties that their cronies in the judicial system has upheld (for now). You may have noticed that only the smaller parties who pledge fealty to their corporate masters have been allowed to officially exist (for now). You can read
more about this at Green and Libertarian Parties Open Letter to Governor Kathy Hochul.
Our legal appeal will not be heard until the fall, so in the meantime, to get Howie & Gloria on the ballot, we need the increased number of signatures on petitions - 45,000 signatures across the state. We need your help! Don't let the corporate parties run unopposed - let's get Howie & Gloria on the ballot so that they can fight with us for a real climate change fight, to get single payer health care passed, make housing a human right in NY, and more.
Petitioning starts on April 19th and goes through May. We're going to have a hybrid live/remote meeting to talk about the task at hand and to train people on how to get petition signatures. We will be meeting on Saturday, April 23rd from 1 - 3pm. If you would like to attend, here are the details:
In person: We will be announcing the location soon - we're just waiting for the final OK. (You must wear a mask to attend.)
Remote: You must register to get the link...

It's time to show that the Green Party is not an alternative, but the imperative.

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.
