butchflirt: Happy birthday, Howie Hawkins! (December 8, 1952)A co-founder of the Green Party of the United States, Howie Hawkins, who also holds membership in the Socialist Party, has been a frequent candidate of the Green Party for public office, including for Governor of New York and President of the United States. A former Teamster and member of the IWW, Hawkins has been an activist for decades, and was an early proponent of the Green New Deal. An ecosocialist and syndicalist, Hawkins’ leadership has taken the Green Party to a more explicitly socialist position, as opposed to “plain and simple” environmentalism and progressivism. -- source link
