to the North Carolina Green Party |
The North Carolina
Green Party is alive and growing. Active locals exist in Charlotte, Buncombe County (Asheville area),and the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill). Our newest chapter, the Cape Fear Greens, is serving the Wilmington area.
In
our effort to elect Green candidates to
public office, gain ballot access and promote grassroots, non-violent
and socially just causes across the state, the NCGP adheres to the Ten Key Values
of the Green Party of the United States. Right now the Green Party is
revitalizing our planet and our democracy without the corrupting
influence of corporate and PAC money.

Register Green, Vote Green?
Help us get the Green Party on the Ballot in NC
Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein's campaign broke
records for the Green Party from coast to coast in 2012-- but she was not on the
ballot in North Carolina! You can't register Green, you can't vote
Green. It's time to get riled up about that, and
then get it fixed.
The country needs the Green Party to be a viable alternative, as
progressive and independent voters have nowhere to turn in this
bought-and-paid-for electoral landscape. If we don't step into this
breach NOW, we will lose the moment forever. Climate change, our
eroding rights, our collapsing economy will not wait for us to find the
time to do the work.
We've done about all we can do to get fair ballot access rules in this
state -- now it's time to do it the long way. We have to get all those
petition signatures, and we have to raise the funds to support that
petitioning campaign. There can hardly be a more pressing priority for
Green Party members.
We are a small group in this state, and none of us have the time,
energy or wherewithal to make this happen. No core group of activists
is going to go out and do this on your behalf. If you do not pull your
share of the load, we will not get there. It is only doable if everyone
does it. That means you. You have to make a commitment.
I plan to be in touch with each one of you individually to discuss how
you can be a part of this campaign. All of our circumstances are
different, but all of us are committed to the same goal -- as Rosa
Clemente said, "The Green Party is no longer the Alternative, the Green
Party is the Imperative."

Help Greens Keep
Fracking Out of NC
|
Join the Green Party to keep
Hydraulic Fracturing (fracking) out of our state. Fracking is a
dangerous method of extracting natural gas. Millions of gallons of
water, sand, and toxic chemicals are injected underground to break up
shale rock and release the gas. Fracking has been banned in NC since
1945 but the General Assembly is poised to overturn the laws that make
it illegal this Spring! [More]
