Green Party of Seattle: Homepage
Description
Our Roots
Inspired by the sucess of the German Green Party, a group of U.S. activists came together in 1984 to form the first U.S. Green organization. Growing rapidly, the group soon encompassed scores of locals across the country.
Successes Nationwide
Activity at the grassroots level has blossomed, with Green organizing in almost every state plus the District of Columbia. Greens are creating sustainable alternatives to polluting industries, supporting labor unions, helping to rebuild inner cities, fighting nuclear waste dumps, seeking electoral and finance reform, and educating communities about environmental and social justice. More than 200 elected Green officials, including three in Seattle, now hold office from Hawaii to New England.
The Green Party of Seattle
Inspired by the 1996 Ralph Nader presidential campaign, the Green Party of Seattle organized to promote the Ten Key Values of the Green Party and to offer an alternative to the two major parties. The entry of the Greens into the traditional two-party system is changing the nature of political debate -- injecting new ideas into what has become a stale repertoire. Greens work to improve society through electoral politics, community organizing, personal responsibility, and direct action.
