What turned me away from the Green Party (as a Cuban)

I voted for Jill at least once. I'm also a vegan, environmentalist, believe factory farms should be banned and that we should re-enter the Paris Climate Agreement. I've done lots of environmentalist and pro-immigrant work throughout my life.

I thought the focus of the Green Party was supposed to be environmentalism and fighting any economic systems that hurt the environment (and I presume, animals.)

Why do Green Party candidates admire Fidel Castro? As a person with a Cuban parent and family that still lives in Cuba, this hurt.

We shouldn't praise just anyone who claims they are a leftist. We shouldn't "admire" the greedy and violent.

Hi! I don't know if this is the right place to post this, butI was wondering has anyone here ever attended the previous FYEG FEM Camp? I am attending this summer and a little nervous: I just want to know what to expect. Thank you!

Young Greens of Austria: "Zero Points for Antisemitism"

The youth organization of the Austrian Green Party takes a clear stance against antisemitism, calling for strengthening progressive forces in Israel and Palestine instead of excluding Israelis from the arts.

EDIT: For context: The Eurovision song contest takes place this week in Vienna, Austria and there have been calls to exclude Israel.
