Update

August 2016

In 2016, during the Jill Stein campaign, a radical change in direction was put forward. The economic diversity, economic justice positions were replaced by an ideological group of advocates numbering about one hundred.

The Green Party US website claims approx. 250,000 green party registered greens in states across the country.

The replacement of the economic positions of the US Green Party was thus decided in an 'amendment' to the founding Green Party Platform by approx. 100 of 250,000 Green registered members. Questions were immediately raised about the democratic extent of this vote to re-make the basic beliefs and values of the Green Party. However, the cadre that pushed the profound change prevailed. The amendment noted that 'expropriation' of property was not immediately being called for. After years of work, outreach and discussion, debate and decisions from 1994 through to the founding platform in 2000, it bears emphasis that one hundred or so changed the foundation of US Green Party in August 2016 from economic diversity and emphasis on economic justice in the 'real world' to another world view.


Economics of diversity, though widely supported, was rejected and replaced with an "Ideology" of "anti-capitalism" and "eco-socialism".


Online and in Wikipedia, content editors began in 2017 to label the restructured US Green Party's "Ideology" as:

Anti-capitalism 2

Eco-socialism 3


The convoluted history of the US Green Party, at this point, began to shift back to the former structure of what was known as tG/GPUSA prior to the group's demise in the 1990s.

Although the 2016 restructuring vote was challenged by many experienced Green Party members, the restructe amendment passed by about a hundred in the heat of the Stein campaign against Hillary Clinton and support among some for a Donald Trump option.

In 2018, one of the long-time players in the group that worked to restructure the national Green Party announced plans to run for the Green Party nomination for president.

National US Green Party Legal Status

http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/File:Green_Party_FEC_request_for_Advisory_Opinion-to_form_national_US_Green_Party_Aug_2001.pdf

The 2001 filing for official status as a national Green Committee and Party produced an FEC Advisory Opinion. A team of Green Party members compiled the over 200 page request with accompanying factual detail of Green Party campaigns/candidates and attached the founding platform of the US Green Party. The Federal Election Commission reference to the Green Party positions and policies was cited as a key element in the FEC's determination to grant legal status as a national committee of a national party.

As an advocate for the formation of a new Green Party over the years, and key platform drafter, your Siterunner pressed for opening up debate in the nation and bringing "serious, credible, platform-based" positions forward to challenge and extend the policies of the two-party system.

The Federal Election Committee agreed that the US Green Party was ready for official standing:

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.
