Green Party of California joins the ProRep Coalition for Proportional Representation
Supporting multi-party democracy in California
In a nation with a political climate centered around a two-party system since its inception, debate and discourse is consistently raised about effective ways to reform voting so that people of our country can vote according to their values rather than vote for one of the two evils.

Organization Turns Passion into Action
By Beth Scroggin, Green Party of Chester County

I officially joined the Green Party in 2016, founding the Green Party of Chester County after seeing my efforts in the Bernie Sanders campaign sabotaged by establishment Democrats. Since Ralph Nader's presidential run in 2000, I had considered the Green Party to be the "cool party" and decided to devote my energy for politics to a party where my efforts may actually make a difference.

Statement on the Existential Threat of Nuclear Weapons and on The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons
The power to initiate a global apocalypse lies in the hands of the leaders of nine nations, yet their citizens and citizens across the world do have the mass power to create the political will to ban this possibility. As 122 nations of the world indicated when they adopted the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) in July, 2017, it is unacceptable that these few leaders of Nuclear Weapon States should hold such destructive power. We must jointly act to avert catastrophe.
