The Green Party
The green party or similar ideologies began in Europe, for example, the German green party. When a version of the party was formed in the United States, their goal was to focus attention to social issues without necessarily having a goal of winning elections. In 1991 the Green Party began putting candidates in the general election.
The Green Party’s symbol is a flower.
Their last convention was in Chicago.
Probably the most well known member of the Green Party is the now infamous Ralph Nader, known for his role in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections.
Some of the party’s main issues are social justice, environmentalism, and non-violence.
