About the NC Green Party

Welcome to the North Carolina Green Party. The Green Party is the only political party in the U.S. growing in membership. All other political parties are losing members. Take a few minutes to review our site and the Green Party of the United States site. You will see how different we are from the major parties and how the Green Party platform addresses the real needs of citizens rather than the corporations that have hijacked our political process.

Our major goal is to obtain ballot access in North Carolina so that people with Green values can run for office under the banner of the Green Party. We are taking a number of approaches. We are collecting signatures for ballot access. We are pursuing a lawsuit against the state's incredibly restrictive ballot access requirements. And we are working with other parties and pro-democracy groups to establish reasonable petition requirements.

The Green Party, nationally and here in North Carolina, opposes the current U.S. emphasis on war and military action. We believe the U.S. must get its own affairs in order and limit its military to the actual defense of the nation, though we do not oppose U.S. troops supporting international peacekeeping missions. Greens are calling for a more thorough and transparent inquiry into the events of September 11, 2001. Many questions remain unanswered concerning that horrible event. We also oppose the PATRIOT Act, all forms of domestic spying and the Bush administration's various other attempts to strip Americans of their civil liberties. To learn more about the North Carolina Green Party's positions, you can read our Platform online or browse a summary of our Ten Key Values. There is also an Acrobat version of our brochure.
