Why Do We Need A Green Party?

  • Because the children’s future depends on it.
  • Because the future of life itself depends on it.
  • Because we have a RIGHT to clean air, clean water, clean soil, clean food and clean politics.
  • Because public forests and the public airwaves should serve people and future generations, not the profits of corporations.
  • Because tripling the number of Georgians imprisoned at taxpayer’s expense has not made our communities safer.
  • Because spending half of our federal tax dollars on preparations for war has not made us more secure.
  • Because neither race baiting nor ignoring racism has saved our jobs or improved our wages or working conditions.
  • Because the globe is warming, the seas are rising, the polar caps are melting and hundreds of species become extinct every month.
  • Because the state DOT wants to spend $5+ Billion on a second perimeter highway while a thousand people die annually from air pollution-related diseases in metro Atlanta alone.
  • Because we lose dozens of acres of forests in the metro Atlanta area every day while chip mills are decimating southern native forests.
  • Because DuPont wants to either mine the Okeefenokee Swamp or have the public pay it $90 million not to.
  • Because ending welfare as we know it doesn’t seem to deal with the subsidies benefiting corporations that pay wages that have families in poverty.
  • Because the nuclear industry wants to ship radioactive wastes on the rails and highways of Georgia to dump it on Native lands out West.
  • Because instead of a peace dividend, women are raped every six minutes in the midst of an ongoing reliance on impoverishing militarism, including at least two Georgia bases with nuclear weapons.
  • Because the madness must stop.
  • Because peace and Justice are possible in our lifetimes.
Why Should I Join?

If you agree that we need a Green Party, then we hope you will support the work we do with your membership, financial contributions and volunteer energy. It takes alot of people to Party. Your membership supports the work we do to provide an electoral alternative to the politics-as-usual that has disenfranchised so many and driven us from the polls - for lack of candidates worthy of our votes. 

What specific things will you get with your membership to The Georgia Green Party? Check these out. 

  • You will receive notices by mail, email, phone or fax of our state conventions and Party activities in your county.
  • You will receive our Party's membership publications, which will keep you up to date on our activities and campaigns.
  • You will support the activism of our Party's supporters who are working to build our capacity to make a difference on the issues that are important to you!
  • You will get invitations to meet our candidates.
  • Your voice and vote will influence our Party's direction at our Conventions and local meetings.
