The Green Party is a natural culmination and synthesis of social justice, peace, environmental and pro-democracy movements. Fundamentally, we believe human beings should live in harmony with the natural order rather than attempting to dominate and exploit it, or each other. We seek to return to our nation's original ideal-government of, by, and for the people by empowering all of our citizens through direct, grassroots democracy. We oppose institutional, interpersonal and cultural racism.
Greens define racism as prejudice plus power.
Power means that prejudice is systematically enforced by the distribution and use of resources and institutions and those who have access to them. The Green Party supports the right of women to full reproductive freedom and to determine the degree of technological intervention, including abortion, that they deem necessary for their own care and protection, regardless of ability to pay. Greens are dedicated to aiding the completion of the historical task of feminism, that of transforming the relationship between men and women from one characterized by dominance and exploitation to one based on equality and mutual respect. We support the phasing out of ecologically harmful sources of energy, such as non-renewable fossil fuels and nuclear power, to be replaced with clean and sustainable alternatives. In order to reduce our use of and dependence on private automobiles, we seek ways to encourage the closer proximity of jobs, housing, and commercial centers, thus decreasing our need to travel long distances for work, play, food, and other necessities.
