Visioning & Strategy 2022, Call for Candidates

You need to register to attend the convention (free, but registration required). At this convention we will review key races and initiatives in 2022, with presentations from greens at the local and national levels showcasing tools and resources to run effective campaigns.

We are calling for candidates to run for office in 2022, as well as for roles on the State Coordinating Committee (positions up for election in December) and the National Committee (current positions open).

Check out the agenda, spread the word and register. For more information and registration please go to pacificgreens.org/events.

Update on Campaign Finance Reform

Even though Measure 107 passed with 78% voter approval in 2020 paving the way for campaign finance reform; nothing was passed in 2021 by the legislature. Surprised? Not really, if we want change we must take charge ourselves.

The Honest Elections coalition is drafting the text of an initiative to be placed on the ballot for approval by voters in 2022. We need to start collecting signatures immediately starting in September. We need 30 people to commit to collecting at least 10 signatures each.
