The+Green+Party



The Green Party of the United States is a federation of state Green Parties. Committed to environmentalism, non-violence, social justice and grassroots organizing, Greens are renewing democracy without the support of corporate donors. Greens provide real solutions for real problems. Whether the issue is universal health care, corporate globalization, alternative energy, election reform or decent, living wages for workers, Greens have the courage and independence necessary to take on the powerful corporate interests. The Federal Elections Commission recognizes the Green Party of the United States as the official Green Party National Committee. We are partners with the European Federation of Green Parties and the Federation of Green Parties of the Americas. The Green Party decision making body is the National Committee, composed of delegates from each accredited state party. State NC representatives and other committee participants are chosen by each state party. The Green Party of the United States was formed in 2001 as a reincarnation of the older Association of State Green Parties (1996-2001). Their initial goal was to help existing state parties grow and to promote the formation of parties in all 51 states and colonies. Helping state parties is still their primary goal. The Green Party National Committee will devote their attention to establishing a national Green presence in politics and policy debate while continuing to facilitate party growth and action at the state and local level. Green Party growth has been rapid since our founding in 2001 andGreen candidates are winning elections throughout the U.S. In 2004, the Green Party National Convention nominated David Cobb and Pat LaMarche for the Green Presidential ticket. they are grassroots activists, environmentalists, advocates for social justice, nonviolent resisters and regular citizens who've had enough of corporate-dominated politics.
