The Green Party of New York City is a political organization that promotes a more equitable society in our urban political ecosystem.
We confront the two-party system and the corporate power behind it by linking the electoral process to struggles for peace, and environmental and social justice, especially for the underresourced and the underserved.
We base our action on political principles — the four pillars of our international movement — that truly reflect the needs of all.
Our purpose is to be the vehicle for electoral change, and to work in the courts and the streets to create a just and sustainable society.
The Green Party of New York City Committee is a group of representatives from the boroughs of New York City. Our purpose is to grow the Green Party and its locals in New York City by connecting with the Green-curious and current Greens; creating a consistent and positive Green image citywide; providing technical coordination, such as this website; putting on events; and working with other groups in the city on key issues.
We will take a strategic approach to our activities, and seek to bring in more young people and people of color.
See "Join A Local" for details on local Green groups.
We also have an Issues and Actions Committee which coordinates Greens to work together and participate in coalitions around a specific issue. Currently we are part of the Living Wage NYC Coalition, working to pass a Living Wage in NYC, and a current bill called the Fair Wages for New Yorkers Act.
There are other Green groups throughout the state, as well as a state-level organization, the Green Party of New York State. GPNYS is an affiliate of the Green Party of the United States (GPUS)
The Green Party of the United States is a federation of state Green Parties, currently in 35 states. It is associated with the European Federation of Green Parties and the Federation of Green Parties of the Americas.
There are several hundred elected Greens around the US, including city council members in San Francisco, Boston, and Minneapolis-St. Paul.
