In Baltimore, the Green Party wrapped up its convention with the nomination of its presidential candidate, the physician and activist Jill Stein, and her running mate, the anti-poverty activist Cheri Honkala. Stein called her ticket a viable third-party challenge to corporate-beholden Republicans and Democrats.

Dr. Jill Stein: “I strongly agree that grassroots democracy grows from the local community up, but at the same time, we have a state of emergency, I think, at the national level. And to silence the only hope of an opposition voice in this election, when so much is at stake, I think would be just a terrible loss for the American people. There’s no reason why Americans should have to walk into the voting booth in November and have only, effectively, two Wall Street-sponsored choices.”
