About the Green Party

 

The Green Party is a political party and a global movement. Our goal is to elect people to office and to implement electoral and social reform to reverse the immense role big corporations and money play in world politics, in particular in the US. Our members are advocates for social justice, environmentalists, small business owners, grassroots activists, students and regular citizens. The Green Party provides a political alternative for those committed to building a sustainable and just society.
