Howie Hawkins is an activist and co-founder of the Green Party of the United States. He is currently seeking the presidential nomination of the Green Party in 2020.

Howie Hawkins’ campaign is about taking power from the super rich and the giant corporations and their paid for political representatives in the Democratic and Republican parties. “Our campaign is about putting power in the hands of the working class majority through new institutions of economic and political democracy that will give the people the power to enact policies that promote human freedom, social justice, economic security, ecological sustainability, and world peace.”

Howie’s Green New Deal encompasses an Economic Bill of Rights and a Green Economy Reconstruction Program. The Economic Bill of Rights starts with a Job Guarantee—a WPA-style program of public jobs for the unemployed planned locally and funded federally. We are campaigning for decent homes for all. We want to build quality public housing until everyone has access to affordable housing.
