Green Party Statement of Purpose 2021

The Green Party of California works to build an alternative system for a socially and racially just, ecologically sustainable, democratic and peaceful society that exists in harmony with nature, we call this system EcoSocialism.
Over 350 California Greens have served in elected office since 1990. Greens’ early vision has resulted in cannabis legalization, closing California’s last nuclear power plant, and enabling public banking. Our actions match our values because we refuse contributions from corporations.
