Jill Stein at the Mercury Cafe August 28, 2016
In Project: Election 2016

Green Party Presidential Candidate Jill Stein, hosted by the Colorado Green Party, presents her vision for a Green New Deal to create an "economy that works for everyone" and addresses climate change with a transition from a fossil fuel economy to 100% wind, sun and water power by 2030. Advocating an economy for the future that ends dependence on endless wars and U.S. as the largest supplier of weapons worldwide, Stein lays out her vision for a "Peace Offensive," a massive jobs program that addresses the climate crisis, decreases military weapons programs that consume 55% of discretionary budget spending, and the erasure of predatory student loan debt as part of an economic stimulus package, even as we erased the debt of Wall St. in 2008. Stein addresses a range of issues, from racism and police violence, improved Medicare-for-All health care as a right, and "fair trade" not "free trade" that has damaged many economies.
