2020-Green-Party-Con 2020 Media Kit The Green Party of the United States was founded in 2001 as a national party, after U.S. Greens spent the 1980s and 1990s building on the local and state level, and focusing on a bottom-up electoral strategy of running and winning in local communities, and complementing that with races for state and federal office. Since 1985, Greens have won at least 1209 races, including at least 211 partisan campaigns. As of mid-April 2020, at least 129 Greens in 22 states currently hold elected office across the nation, with many more running in November 2020 elections. The Green Party of the United States has 46 affiliated state party members, plus the District of Columbia, and five organized caucuses. Different states have varying laws and party rules that define membership. In the 31 states (+ DC) that have partisan registration, 22 (+ DC) allow for, and report, Green Party registration numbers. Today there are approximately 250,000 registered Greens in these states. Many thousands more identify themselves as Green in states that don’t have voter registration by party membership. In the 2016 general election, the Green Party had ballot lines in 44 states plus DC, including the seven largest states. Voters in three additional states could write in our presidential candidate. Jill Stein, our 2016 presidential candidate, got 1.5 million votes (1.1%). International U.S. Greens are part of a global movement of Green Parties in almost 100 countries, reflecting a shared commitment to heal our planet that transcends national identities and political boundaries. Greens have run for office since the first Green Parties were organized in 1972, starting in Australia and New Zealand. Since then, Greens have been elected to thousands of seats around the globe in local, regional, national and international parliaments. On the national level, Greens currently hold 338 seats around the globe, including parliamentary seats in 19 European nations and in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Congo, Madagascar, México, New Zealand and Rwanda. This number also includes 52 people from the Greens/European Free Alliance Group holding seats in the European Parliament from 11 countries. Most Greens elected at the regional, national or international level have been elected in multi- seat electorates (districts/constituencies/ridings) through systems of proportional representation (a primary electoral reform advocated by the Green Party of the United States.) However Greens have increasingly been winning direct election in single seat districts, starting with Elizabeth May to the Canadian House of Commons and Caroline Lucas to the British House of Commons - both elected first in 2010 and re-elected in subsequent elections. Since then, May has been joined by two more Green MPs - Jenica Atwinnn and Paul Manly. On the Canadian provincial level, 14 Greens hold seats in provincial parliaments in British Colombia (2), New Brunswick (3), Ontario (1), Prince Edward Island (8) Highlights on recent global electoral progress are below: Africa When two Greens were elected to the Parliament of Rwanda in 2018, they were the first opposition legislators to be elected since the genocide. This came after years of being kept off the ballot and one of their party leaders being assassinated. Asia Pacific In 2017, New Zealand Greens won eight MPs and entered into coalition government for the first time, and hold three ministerial positions, Minister for Climate Change, for Women and of Conservation and Land Information. Europe Europe experienced a “green wave” in the 2019 European Parliament elections, to become the fourth largest parliamentary group. In those elections Greens finished second in Germany and Finland, with 20.5% and 16% of the vote, respectively, and third in France with 13.5%. French Greens just followed that with breakthrough municipal victories in June 2020, winning the mayor in major cities including Lyon, Bordeaux, Strasbourg, Besançon, Poitiers, Annecy, Tours and Grenoble, and advancing to a final run-off in Marseille, Frances second largest city. Just days before the Irish Green Party Comhaontas Glas entered into a historic coalition with two other parties to govern Ireland. This now makes six countries in which Greens are currently participating in coalition governments: Austria, Finland, Ireland, Luxembourg, New Zealand and Sweden. The Green Party of the United States participates internationally as a member of the Federación de Partidos Verdes de las Americas, and globally as a charter member of the Global Greens. The next Global Greens Congress will be in Seoul, Korea in January 2022, and will be the fifth Congress of Global Greens, following Congresses in Australia (2001), Brazil (2008), Senegal (2012) and England (2017).

  • Activist Literacy and Dr. Jill Stein's 2012 Green Party Campaign
    45 Recognizing the Rhetorics of Feminist Action: Activist Literacy and Dr. Jill Stein’s 2012 Green Party Campaign Virginia Crisco Abstract: Scholars such as Nancy Welch and Susan Jarratt argue that Neoliberalism shapes how everyday citizens are able to take action. Using what Jacquelyn Jones Royster and Gesa Kirsch call “social circulation,” I analyze how Dr. Jill Stein, the presidential candidate for the Green Party in 2012, used “whatever spaces are left” to challenge the dominant two party system, particularly in relation to the pres- idential debates. I argue that Stein demonstrates an activist literacy disposition that positions her to use the spaces, the literate and rhetorical means, and oppor- tunities for storytelling to foster social action in our neoliberal climate. Keywords: neoliberalism, social circulation, activist literacy, third party politics In Living Room: Teaching Public Writing in a Privatized World, Nancy Welch argues that neoliberalism has changed not only the topics available for public discussion in the pursuit of making socio-political change, but the venues for having those discussions, as they have also become increasingly privatized. As an example, Welch refects on her experiences advocating for her husband’s health care to their insurance company. She describes the multiple letters she had gotten from her insurance company saying their appeal for his care had been denied, using the same phrases again and again, as if her carefully re- searched and rhetorical letters were not even being read. This leads Welch to question the amount of power we as teachers and scholars of writing give to language and rhetoric: These are rhetorical strategies that, mostly in the abstract, have given me comfort – comfort in the belief that I really can wield power in language, that I can empower my students, particularly those subor- dinate by gender, race, sexuality, and class, to do the same.

We proudly present to you the documentation of the 2nd Global Young Greens Congress held in Berlin from 8th to 14th of August 2010! More than 100 participants from over 50 countries spent five days of discussing as well as exchanging opinions and experiences from their homecountries in order to get closer together and fight with “Youth Power for a Global Green Change“. Workshops, fishbowl discussions and a world café were organised as parts of the congress. The debated topics were endless – reaching from economics and gender issues to social justice, peace and conflicts and - of course - climate change. After three days of debating, two days of General Assem- bly followed. In this, new structures were adopted as well as several topical proposals to form a wider political platform. With this documentation, we are trying to show what the congress was about and what was behind.

    Hill & Lake Press Serving the East Isles, Lowry Hill, Kenwood Isles, and Cedar Isles Dean Neighborhoods VOLUME 29 NUMBER 10 OCTOBER 22, 2005 ISLES BIKE TRAIL REPLACED West Bay and North Arm Greening Up Chris Wiencke MPRB Planning The unseasonably warm weather this fall extended the growing season, offering a grace period in which the newly planted grass around Lake of the Isles’ west bay could take hold. Parkland disguised as an unsightly con- struction zone for the past two summers is beginning to look like a park once again. Extremely wet weather has subjected the recently completed improvements to a rigorous test, a test they have passed with flying colors. Recent torrential rains would have completely flooded the parkland surrounding the west bay and north arm; today it remains high and dry. Though the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board’s efforts to renovate Lake of the Isles Regional Park—a project spanning several years—in 2005 were limited by inadequate funding, much has been accom- plished this construction season. The parkland around the west bay and north arm, so prone to flooding in recent years, has been filled in above the 100-year flood level, then graded and seeded. The north arm, not yet green at this writing, was seeded later than the west bay. Depending on weather conditions, that area may not look like parkland until spring. Bike trail replaced Lake of the Isles after October 2005 rain Lake Photos by Dorothy Childers The replacement of the bike trail may be the most enthusiastically hailed development of all.

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.
