Jill Stein Rally

press release: Madison Rallies For Green Party Presidential Candidate Jill Stein Who Is Recovering from Illness 

Thurs., Oct.27th   noon, UW-Madison Memorial Union Theater, 800 Langdon

The Green Party Rally will go on without candidate Dr. Jill Stein who will not be in Madison Thursday due to medical reasons and is recovering at home in Boston. Her media and appearance schedule has been curtailed this week.

Four Lakes Greens will rally as planned to drive support for Jill Stein for President and Ajamu Baraka for Vice-President and continue the Green movement for political change. Doors open at 11:30 and the program begins at noon with local speakers. The afternoon features YahNe Ndgo, a dynamic youthful party leader and a keynote speaker at the Green Party Presidential Convention who received a long-standing ovation. 

YahNe Ndgo is an African-American mother, writer, singer and Freedom Fighter from Pennsylvania. She works to convey the important message of the Stein Baraka Campaign, help the Green Party Community build itself into the electoral arm of the Justice Movements, promote Global transformation, and help usher in The Better World she believes we are all eager for. YahNe is a surrogate of Dr. Stein.

Dr. Stein has been on the campaign trail since February 2015, the longest of any presidential candidate, and she was hospitalized and diagnosed with pneumonia last week in Austin, TX. Despite her illness, Dr. Stein participated in the final presidential debate via live stream last Wednesday, October 19th, from her hospital room, and reached over 3.5 million viewers.

Dr. Stein will resume in-person appearances and media interviews on the campaign trail as soon as she is fully recovered.

Stein’s campaign aims to put people, planet and peace over profit. Jill Stein says “It's time to build a people's movement to end unemployment and poverty; avert climate catastrophe; build a sustainable, just economy; and recognize the dignity and human rights of every person. The power to create this new world is not in our hopes; it’s not in our dreams — it's in our hands.”
