Why are political parties important?
Political parties play a critical role in the development of policy at the local, state, and national level. Greens want fundamental changes in our economic, political, and social institutions, and that means organizing to create change by electing better representatives and mobilizing public opinion to promote Green values. We think any people who are committed to a set of values should be able to build a political party to promote those values, and we want to lead by example.
