We are a group of political parties bound by a common set of values and a vision of a livable future. Political parties recruit, select, and campaign for candidates for public office. Unlike most political parties, the Greens also do grassroots social ``movement'' work.

The Internet is central to our operations. We use it for public outreach, internal communications, and shared database.
