• Election results, August 27 petition training, fundraiser

We have results from our special election and exciting news from our new Ballot Access Coordinator!

The Northwest Indiana Green Party (NWI)  joined the crowds in July and marched in the Portage and the Hobart July 4th parades. Through the rain on Saturday in Portage and the extreme heat on Tuesday in Hobart, our dedicated walkers clocked in the miles for our Green Values. Now that we have recuperated from all the exercise we are turning our focus to even more action right here in the region. From our wave of Green we are getting excited for our movement that is growing environmental and social justice. And above that we have two active political campaigns that are pushing towards the November general elections.

The Green Response
DNC Continues Its Failed Experiment

July 31, 2023  —  By Denise Binion, Mountain Party Chair

DNC Chair, Jaime Harrison, recently attempted to undermine Dr. Cornel West’s “third party” run for President, stating that “this is not the time in order to experiment.” Harrison, head of one of the oldest political parties in the world, conveniently ignores the ongoing 235 year experiment of the American political system. This is the two-party system, which is arguably the greatest failure the United States has still yet to resolve.

2024's elections are right around the corner.  The time to organize is now!  The Green Party of Texas wants you organized & informed before the conventions.

If your area doesn't have an active Green Party group & you'd like to connect, please reach out!  If you already have, you'll hear from us soon.

Our First In-Person State Committee Meeting was held June 10, 2023. The future of the Green Party of New York was discussed and an Eco-Action Committee was approved. The GPNY Eco-Action Committee will complement national work on climate and take action around state-level legislation and campaigns. Mark Dunlea is spearheading this committee. To learn more, contact him at [email protected]. During the afternoon session of the meeting, Marco DaCosta gave a talk and slideshow about Greens in Power in Brazil, and presented some ideas that could be used by Greens in the U.S.

This is an exciting time to be Green in Northwest Indiana! From our focus on grassroots action right here in the region, our local group of passionate environmentalists and justice advocates are working hard to make a difference. We will be out again this year at several festivals and parades to share what we have been doing for our communities and the visions we have for improving the quality of our natural environment and the quality of our local communities. Consider joining us as we plan our summer activities to engage and improve Northwest Indiana.

The Wisconsin Green Party will hold our 2023 Spring Gathering state membership meeting on Saturday May 20, 2023.

The theme of this gathering will be "Housing is a human right" and we will have discussions on the critical issue of housing and its many dimensions, including affordability, sustainability, homelessness, and more.

This Valentine’s Day, we hope that you have the privilege to celebrate love in your community. After all, a LOVE FOR ALL is in the heart of every revolutionary who works to build equitable, compassionate, inclusive, and thriving communities. As Ernesto Che Guevara reminds us:

The Northwest Indiana Green Party (NWI) is getting ready to start the new year and the impact we are prepared to make throughout the region. We are kicking off our year of environmental activism and Green action at our Annual Meeting on January 8, 2023. This is the perfect time for you to get more involved with our movement, so plan on joining us to strategize and grow our campaign for a greener, more sustainable region.
