The "Four Pillars of the Green Party", as written about in Wikipedia, are a "foundational statement of Green politics and form the basis of many worldwide Green parties... the four pillars define a Green Party as a political movement that interrelates its philosophy from four different social movements: the environmental movement, the labour movement, the civil rights movement, and the peace movement."
- Ecological wisdom
- Social justice
- Grassroots democracy
- Nonviolence
The "Ten Key Values" of the Green Party of the US followed the Four Pillars and, from 1984 to today, the Green KVs in the US continue to define the Green Party's value-based politics.

Green Values: A Green Platform Foundation
Your GreenPolicy siterunner, from 1994 to 2001, was intimately involved in organizing the national Green party and proposed and presented in 1995 at the Green national gathering in New Mexico a strategic plan to draft a new national platform and run a presidential campaign as a way to build the Green party at the national, state and local levels. As a chair of the originating platform committee (the 'Platcom'), your siterunner facilitated the approval of the strategic plan in '95 through the '96 platform presentation in the presidential campaign and then led the drafting of the platform document that was formally approved as the new Green party platform in 2000 at the Green party nominating convention in Denver. The platform document was an essential part of the new party's submission to the Federal Election Commission and was cited as the FEC's Advisory Opinion conferred "National Committee of a National Party" status. The Greens became a major independent party as the plan envisioned and set out to accomplish.

As your siterunner advocated over the years, to open debate in the nation and bring "serious, credible, platform-based" positions forward to challenge and extend the policies of the two-party system.
FEC (from the Advisory opinion):... the (Green) Party has already undertaken significant party building activity of a national scope. The various party registration and get-out-the vote-activities, the holding of a national convention in 2000, as well as efforts to publicize the Party’s positions, indicate that the Green Party of the United States is engaging in activity comparable to other national party committees.

Following are several personal recollections, quotes and links from this early state of building a US Green Party. Although competing claims have been made by a group, the G/GPUSA, that is no longer active in Green electoral politics, the facts of the origins of the US Green party, as it formally and legally came to be, will become a matter of record over time.

The Ten Key Values of the Green Party of the US: The 'KVs' of the Founding Platform
The U.S. Green Party "Ten Key Values"
The Ten Key Values of the Green Party of the US are often referred to as "the KVs" and act as a values foundation for the policy platform of the Green Party. The Key Values were approved in 2000 at the national party convention in Denver, CO along with the founding national platform.
- Steven Schmidt - GreenPolicy siterunner writing to Charlene Spretnak in the Green Horizon Magazine, Fall 2013
- "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..."

A touch more history, personal recollections published regarding the proposal and the drafting of the US Green Party Platform and Key Values:
"The challenge was to construct a successful model on which to build a growing, vital, U.S. Green party. The model adopted came from an unlikely place: a small state in the hinterland far from centers of power. In 1994 in Santa Fe, named after St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of the land and animals, the New Mexico Green party proposed a statewide slate of Green candidates that would run a serious and credible campaign based on their founding platform. The campaign was one of the most successful independent, third-party efforts in the United States in nearly four decades and became a model for the national Green “40-State Green Organizing Effort” launched in December 1994, which led to the founding of the national Green platform and the first presidential campaign in 1996."
-- SJS / 2014
"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'"...
-- SJS / 2015
SJS: Here is the 10th KV and "Quality of Life", as written and approved in the founding plaform.
