First and foremost, we want to extend a word of solidarity in light of the ICE actions currently terrorizing American cities and the escalating illegal acts of war we’re all watching take place. We hope you are taking care of yourself and your community wherever you are in Washington State.
This year demands more from all of us as we contend with the symptoms of late-stage capitalism, the blowback of US imperialism, and the knowledge that both corporate parties, whose partnership brought us to this moment, will not be coming to save us.
The political moment calls for building power for uncompromising anti-capitalist voices and organizing outside of the corporate duopoly for people, peace, and planet. Have you thought about how you can help us achieve this in 2026? There are many ways you can take action:
- Become a GPWA member: Members can organize local chapters, endorse candidates, elect state party leaders, and elect representatives to the national Green Party US organizations. Learn more about becoming a member here.
- Join or form a GPWA chapter: Organizing GPWA members into chapters across Washington State amplifies our message. When you join GPWA as a member and form or join a chapter, you have a voice in determining which candidates get endorsement. Explore existing local chapters here and learn what it takes to form your own here.
- Run for office: Are you considering running for office or thinking of encouraging someone else to run for office? Now is the time to begin planning for a run and putting together campaign teams! Filing week in WA for most elected offices is May 4-8, 2026. Learn about running for office here.
- Send us a donation: Don’t have extra time to volunteer right now? You can still be part of building the Green movement by chipping in financially, either as a dues-paying member or a one-time donation here. If you’re already a member or donor, THANK YOU.
We’ve got big goals for 2026.
Please reach out to me to help organize and strengthen Green Party Washington campaigns.
