Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Reparations & a Black Agenda

Green Party Position

The development of the United States was tainted by the displacement of Native Americans and the barbaric institution of slavery, built upon the belief in white supremacy, which we as Greens condemn. In slavery’s aftermath, people of color have borne the brunt of violence and discrimination. The Green Party unequivocally condemns these evils, which continue to be a social problem of paramount significance.
