    Platform 2014 Green Party of the United States Approved by the Green National Committee July 2014 About the Green Party The Green Party of the United States is a federation of state Green Parties. Committed to environmentalism, non-violence, social justice and grassroots organizing, Greens are renewing democracy without the support of corporate donors. Greens provide real solutions for real problems. Whether the issue is universal health care, corporate globalization, alternative energy, election reform or decent, living wages for workers, Greens have the courage and independence necessary to take on the powerful corporate interests. The Federal Elec - tions Commission recognizes the Green Party of the United States as the official Green Party National Com - mittee. We are partners with the European Federation of Green Parties and the Federation of Green Parties of the Americas. The Green Party of the United States was formed in 2001 from of the older Association of State Green Parties (1996-2001). Our initial goal was to help existing state parties grow and to promote the formation of parties in all 51 states and colonies. Helping state parties is still our primary goal. As the Green Party National Com - mittee we will devote our attention to establishing a national Green presence in politics and policy debate while continuing to facilitate party growth and action at the state and local level. Green Party growth has been rapid since our founding and Green candidates are winning elections through - out the United States. State party membership has more than doubled. At the 2000 Presidential Nominating Convention we nominated Ralph Nader and Winona LaDuke for our Presidential ticket.

  • 2013 Committee Reports
    Reports From Green Party Committees to the Green National Committee submitted at the 2013 Annual National Meeting Iowa City, Iowa GREEN PARTY OF THE UNITED STATES Finance Committee Annual Report to the GNC July, 2013 INTRODUCTION The primary mission of the Finance Committee is to monitor fiscal activities. It performs this duty in an advisory role to the Steering Committee, which has final authority on fiscal matters, except for those decisions reserved to the National Committee under the Fiscal Policy and the Bylaws of the GPUS. Current active members serving on the Finance Committee are Susan Chunco, CA; Bill Kreml, SC; Henry Bardel, NY; Frank Young, WV; and Jeff Turner, HI. Susan and Jeff serve as Co-Chairs of the committee. Jeff is the Treasurer of GPUS. BRIEF FINANCIAL HISTORY GPUS has experienced a steady decline in revenues every year since 2008. By the end of 2009 total debt to outside vendors, various earmarked funds, and generous Green creditors totaled nearly $93,000. Austerity measures were instituted in 2009 & 2010 to maintain operations. Some staff positions and the accountant contractor were eliminated. The office was moved for a reduction in rent and utilities. 2012 saw the first increase in revenue to reverse the decline experienced in prior years. By the end of the year that debt had been reduced to slightly over $30,000, mostly as a result of the cuts made in prior years, but also due to 2012 being a Presidential election year that produced slightly stronger fundraising than prior years. Significant expenditures were made for ballot access drives in 2012, but they were partially funded by loans from Greens; $5,875 of those loans remain unpaid, and are included in the total debt figure above.
