CAN WE MAKE IT??
Our planet is on the verge of irreversible climate damage and habitat destruction. It is easy to get discouraged and just want to sit it out. We think THAT is just not an option.
Working together in the Green Party, we can reverse course. Join us, REGISTER GREEN!
WHY A THIRD PARTY?
Because we all know our system is broken and it's up to us to fix it. Our Corporate-dominated duopoly is not the solution, we are! Green, clean and corporate-free candidates who serve the people.
Our 10 key values and four pillar guide everything we do.
