Stein and Ware secured the nomination on Saturday with 267 of 287 delegate votes at the Green Party’s national convention held online.
“This is a historic moment of unprecedented, divergent crises for the American people, and it is a great honor to be here with my running mate — Butch Ware — to bring the solutions that the American people are truly longing for,” Stein said in a press conference after the vote.
The nomination came just a day after the presidential candidate announced activist and educator Ware as her running mate. Ware is an associate professor at UC Santa Barbara and focuses her research and advocacy on black liberation, African and African-American history, and Islamic intellectual history.

“I see a wave of freedom sweeping across America, and I see the Green Party as an unprecedented, powerful tool to bring real democracy back to the United States of America and free us from genocidal imperial wars and oppression here at home,” Ware said. “And Jill Stein and I are ready to give Team Blue and Team Red the fight of their lives from the green side.”
The Stein-Ware campaign advocates for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and an immediate end to all U.S. military aid to Israel, as well as a Green New Deal, Medicare For All, an Economic Bill of Rights, reparations for black Americans, and more.
