The Green Party Power Project is a group of Green Party of the United States activists who believe the Party must take steps to build power so it can impact the duopoly parties, win elections and transform the nation. At the foundation of creating a more effective Party is recognizing that we are an opposition party that challenges the political establishment. This requires the Party to be independent of the two establishment parties, the Democrats and Republicans, which are funded by Wall Street, militarism and other big business interests. We began this project in the fall of 2016 by publishing two statements, now archived as the first two selections in the Historical Documents section, that emphasized our independence, especially from the Democratic Party.
