Watch Now: Dr Butch Ware On Building Revolutionary Change Through Electoral Politics

In this powerful and insightful interview on "The Green Livestream" with hosts CD Ardell and Scott Free, Dr. Butch Ware discusses his vision for revolutionary change through the Green Party.

As a public intellectual, activist, associate professor at UC Santa Barbara, former Green Party VP candidate, and now California gubernatorial candidate, Dr. Ware articulates how electoral politics, mutual aid, and direct action can be combined to challenge the duopoly and return power to communities.

The conversation explores how revolutionary movements throughout history, from Malcolm X to the Black Panthers, have utilized electoral politics alongside other strategies.

Dr. Ware quotes revolutionary leader Kwame Ture, explaining that "revolutionaries don't just mobilize around issues; revolutionaries organize against systems." This philosophy guides his approach to building Green Party strength as a tool for systemic change.
