Green Politics International

Green parties are described often as politically "neither left nor right but out in front"

Green values on environmental, social justice and peace politics, and Green parties around the world are creating new and visionary ways to approach political issues and strive toward new definitions of environmental security...

Green parties are diverse in their political formations and are established and active in approximately 1/2 of the countries of the world...

Green parties bring forward political action based on a foundation of values:

“The goal of our founding platform was to have a Green Party policy foundation on which Green candidates could run ‘serious, credible, platform-based campaigns’, that is, to succeed in the goal of effective political campaigning taking the Green Party positions in the platform and turning them into reality.”

As I look back at the drafting of the U.S. Green Party's Key Values adopted formally as I presented them to the 2000 national Green Party Convention in Denver, along with the founding Green Party national platform, it remains for future greens, whether formally affiliated with the Green Party in the US or greens who share core values of Green parties to do their best in bringing the values and positions of green thought into reality.

The politics of the present era clearly demand the independent, future-oriented vision of green, environmentally focused 'planet citizens'...

From SJS to Charlene Spretnak:

"As the person who held a serious responsibility in redrafting the Key Values statement and changing the question format that came out of the 1984 Green meeting, I can say (and have said in numerous speeches, talks, articles and posts) that the Key Values are the values foundation on which we constructed our founding national Green Party Platform.... I often have explained our Green Key Values underpinning in speeches and in my writing over the years. The values of the Greens are a beginning point, an appropriate and a deeply held core set of beliefs that suffuse our platform... I was careful as I drafted platform language during these initial years and engaged with Greens in an extended process. I always pointed out the special, distinguishing role the Key Values hold..."

SJS: From the drafting of the Green Key Values with Charlene Spretnak's leadership in the early days of the US Greens ... to the proposing of a legal national party in 1995 in New Mexico... to the drafting of a new national platform approved in 2000 at the Nominating Convention at the Renaissance Center in Denver, Colorado... to a near 200 pp. filing with the Federal Election Commission in 2001 and the FEC approval of US Green Party's legal standing as the Green national committee of a national party, the organizing work of dedicated Greens has led, step-by-step, to a new era.

Far Beyond Green Party Politics, Green Politics Carries the Message

The green message goes well beyond political parties and, at its best moments, touches all of our lives. A authentic green politics is connected and makes connections across political parties. Green activism connects through a rainbow of coalitions, organizations and political actions. Going green is politics in action, individual and global.
