The Green Party of Pennsylvania has not, at this time, adopted a state-level platform. The party did, however, participate in the creation and adoption of the Green Party Platform 2000 . The recent Dec. 10 ASGP meeting in Hiawassee, GA was attended by delegates and observers from 36 states. Dozens of Greens have been elected to county and municipal office across the country. Mike Feinstein of California has compiled an electoral history of the American Greens, including a list of current officeholders.
Green parties exist around the world and participate in coalition governments in several countries.
The Democratic and Republican Parties have increasingly become parties driven by big money, not by the grassroots. The values that once inspired these parties are long gone, and the parties offer little in terms of networking and issue leadership to their local elected officials. Active Green organizations across Pennsylvania are working to revitalize democracy in our cities, boroughs and townships. Many of our activists have real experience in electing local candidates to office. Borough councilmembers Brian Laverty in Blossburg and Katie Scheib in Lewisburg last year became the first elected officials to join the Green Party of Pennsylvania.
