Voting Green - 2020 and beyond

The Green Party is often perceived as a pitfall. In reality, an overhaul of democracy is overdue. The path Greens follow will ensure our planet is one for every life upon it. For three decades Greens have been building grassroots movements to organize, involve and uplift disenfranchised communities. Generations are awakening, unfortunately many don’t seek participation in a political “spectrum” that force feeds duopolies unrepresentative to them.

Often defeated in vicious cycles; achieving 15% in polling for debate access without equal inclusion and regressive state ballot access tactics; ultimately, 5% of the vote would grant funding and major party status, creating a force to be reckoned with. This is only possible through continuous organizing, rallying, protesting, phone-banking, canvassing and petitioning.

If you are tired of duopolistic platitudes, please vote Green Party candidates Howie Hawkins/Angela Walker for President/VP and consider becoming a Green Party member!
