Start a Green Organizing Group

Did you know that it just takes a few people to start a Green Party of Washington local organizing group?

As GPWA Organizer, I am here to help you organize.

Do you have friends, family, and neighbors who share your disapproval of corporate-sponsored politics? Do you have a local political establishment — or even a single establishment darling — who is indifferent to your community’s needs and whose power you want to challenge?

Don’t do it alone. It only takes two or three to start the tango in your community.

Connecting with fellow anti-capitalists is the first step. All it takes is a few people getting together not only to lament about the problems, but to visualize solutions.

There are existing Green Party supporters and members all over Washington State, with even more who resonate with our message as we collectively watch the two-party system utterly fail us during this time of crisis. We have to start building an alternative.

Let’s do this all over the Evergreen State.

Currently, we have an informal group of GPWA members in Snohomish County who would like to get more involved. Let us know if you are in Snohomish County and would like to connect with Greens in your area!

Once an informal group has a few achievements under its belt, the next step to building political power is to form a chapter.

Learn what it takes to form a local Green Party chapter.

In Southwest Washington, there are so many progressive-minded folks and a local Democratic Party that is entrenched in the status quo and corrupted by corporate cash. People are hungry for another option, and several important local seats are up for grabs.

Would you like to connect with other anti-capitalists in Southwest Washington and start a GPWA organizing group?

Official chapters already exist in Seattle / King County and in Olympia / South Sound. If you would like to see the Green Party of Washington become stronger in more areas, please let me know what you can do to help make organized anti-capitalist political actions more visible.

We are not outnumbered, we’re out-organized.” – Malcolm X. Let’s get organized!

In peace and solidarity,
