Statement of Purpose
Green Issues Working Group is charged by the state party with the task of making sure the Green Party is aware of and, where possible, initiating action on various issues.
In addition, this group attempts to serve as a sort of "think tank" to examine, and inform upon, varying issues based on how they relate to the Ten Key Values of the Party, and to give Greens (and everyone else) a resource for further study and learning on the issues that face all of us
Goals
The primary goal is to establish, on an issue-by-issue basis, various subgroups (a.k.a. "projects") that will perform and publish research, publish links, write blogs, recommend readings, form "watchdog" or action groups, and other issue-specific activities.
- For those issues on which the GPCA has a current position, assure that the party position is fully articulated, current, and well published
- For those issues on which GPCA has no current position, or has an ambiguous position, articulate Green thinking on the issue, reconcile this thinking with the Platform and the Ten Key Values, sponsor resolutions, and generally articulate and publish suggested party position(s)
- Interface with the General Assenbly, Platform Committee, and all the other committees and working groups to gain better insight into party positions
- Sponsor and facilitate active issue-based interaction with Counties, Locals, and the rank-and-file of the party
- Sponsor, facilitate, and encourage active debate of issues
- Supply committees, candidates, and rank-and-file with quotes and quoteable material on various issues
- Sponsor and facilitate, both for the party and the public-at-large, active services and/or "watchdog" groups that monitor activity on issues - especially within State and Local government
- Build coalitions with other organizations and otherwise facilitate Green Party involvement with, especially as the political arm of, broader issue-based "movements"
