Green Party Volunteers!
Thank you for your interest in the Green Party! We are a growing community of people who have incredible heart and courage.
We know ecological destruction and intersectional oppression through race, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, and class are a plague on life on this planet. Through democracy in all modes of life — including the workplace and financial institutions — we can begin to correct the power imbalances fueling oppression. Only then can we make just and fair decisions to transform our society to be in harmony with each other and our planet’s limitations.
That’s why we are writing to you today. We want to introduce you to the Green Party of the United States and to our vision of a world and an economy that works for all of us.
We are a grassroots national party. We're the party that stands for We The People, the health of our planet, and future generations instead of the One Percent. We welcome all those who refuse to accept a choice that’s limited only to the Two Parties of War and Wall Street.
We demanded full LGBTIQA+ rights, called for legalization of marijuana and an end to the War on Drugs, and oppose all wars from the beginning -- long before major-party politicians decided that these positions were safe.
This is why we need you. We need to bring grassroots democracy back to politics. We need you to get involved in your local Green Party and join with others to live what we believe.
We’re All in This Together
There is so little time. Greens are addressing many critical and expanding issues — the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences, the corporatism of President Joe Biden, the climate meltdown, the endless wars, families going without adequate healthcare, food, shelter, and schools, the next Wall Street-instigated economic collapse, nuclear devastation, undemocratic elections and more.
The corporate parties will not fix these problems for us. We are the ones we've been waiting for.
Now is the time to take a stand on our convictions — while we still can.
We want YOU to be a leader in the movement — the people's movement — to help fight climate change, replace corporate power with democracy and economic justice for all, end mass incarceration, and stop these endless wars.
The Green Party supports livable wages, universal health care (Improved, Medicare-For-All), repeal of Citizens United, free higher education, student debt forgiveness, full reproductive rights for women, human rights for all immigrants, and racial justice: Black Lives Matter!
We will not be told any longer that the status quo and the duopoly serve our nation or our world. We’re here to tell you: The corporate-money parties do not serve us.
Why?
Because the Green message is one of people, planet, and peace over profit. And that doesn’t sit well with the One Percent.
The Green Party is winning important victories – notably for economic justice and against fossil fuel infrastructure – but the economic elite have only tightened their grip.
People are realizing that if we want to fix the rigged economy, the rigged racial injustice system, the rigged fossil fuel-based energy system and more, we must build a people’s movement to overturn the rigged and corrupt political system.
The Green Party is the political vehicle to do just that.
Greens are leading the way on critical policies like strong local schools, municipal utilities, public banks, and support for worker cooperatives. We’re calling for millions of jobs to achieve 100% clean renewable energy by 2030, Medicare for all, and requiring the wealthy few to pay their share of taxes.
The Green Party is the only political party leading the way on these critical issues. Along with the state Green Parties, the national party grants power within the party to identity caucuses: Black Caucus, Latinx Caucus, Lavender Greens, Young Greens and Women's Caucus. Also, an Indigenous, an Elders, and a Disability Caucus are in the process of becoming accredited. We invite you to consider joining any of the caucuses with which you identify.
There are over 100 Green parties around the world, on every continent except Antarctica. Greens represent a global movement for environmental and social justice, nonviolence, and democracy.
We are on the front lines, and you'll be on the front lines, too, if you join us.
There’s no better time to be involved than the present.
There’s also no more urgent time. The Green Party helps Green candidates who need to win their races and expand Green influence on a state and local level.
Here’s how you can get involved right now.
I want to find my state party!
I want to find and help candidates in my area!
Greens are offering trailblazing solutions to our nation’s (and our world’s) problems. Green candidates light the way and show the working person how to throw off the chains of the establishment corporate parties.
Of course, it’s not right that we must fight so hard and spend so much to help Green candidates, but that’s the reality.
We must fight for the greater good – the good that the Green Party can do for the nation and for the world.

P.S. Remember, with involved activists such as yourself, we can recruit candidates, sponsor campaign schools, and provide direct donations to candidates through the Coordinated Campaign Committee. The CCC holds monthly webinars. Check out this page for more information.
P.P.S. Our plan to get our agenda implemented is by electing Green candidates at every level of government! The first, middle, and last step, as always, is to organize.
