February 8, 2025 | In person & Zoom

The Green Party of Michigan (GPMI) invites you to our first Quarterly State Membership Meeting (SMM) of 2025 and State Central Committee (SCC) elections

As you all know 2025 will bring new challenges and we need your help to face these challanges together. This is your opportunity to join us in our bi-annual elections for GPMI officers, committee participants, and national delegates. We encourage all members to attend in person or on zoom to nominate yourself or a fellow member to volunteer their time and skills to help our party move forward and keep us on the ballot.

We do plan to have a special speaker at this meeting, yet to be confirmed, so as the date approaches please keep an eye out for agenda changes. As always you can find links to our meeting and the agenda on our website migreenparty.org under the Events tab or follow the links below.

Please also join us for our upcoming monthly working group meetings which will be planned for March 8 and April 12

The Green Party of Michigan is constantly searching for new and innovative ways to continue serving Michiganders, keeping candidates on the ballot, and to move our party forward without corporate money which invites corruption.

We need the support of the people like you. Consider making a donation today (or become a monthly donor in the amount of your choice!) to help sustain our fight for Green politics and against our broken two-party system.
