NEW PROGRAM FROM THE GREEN PARTY WILL EARN MONEY FOR YOUR STATE AND LOCAL AND RECRUIT CARD-CARRYING GREENS!

 

   Now you can be a card-carrying Green! Sign up for the Green Party Card for $36 a year—roughly equivalent to the $1 paid to join the Populist Party in 1886.

   Most members of the populists were dirt-poor farmers, with so little cash that they couldn't get credit from the banks and corporations who had a chokehold on them, just the way those same institutions are strangling us today. But those with a vision of social justice managed to find $1—$36 in today's money—to fund a multiracial, progressive, third party that fought back in ways that made them a legend to all working people.

   Sign up with the Green Party today and help us carry on that historic struggle for peace and justice!

 

Benefits:

 

   Beyond knowing that you are contributing to the Peace Party that spearheaded the Ohio recount, you'll get your very own Green Party Card, a year’s subscription to the GP-US newspaper "Green Pages," a Green Party button, and a Green Party bumper sticker. The packet will include a welcome letter and an outline of Green Party history and structure, as well as committee, caucus, network, and local contact information.

 

Logistics for States/Locals:

 

   The Green Party of the United States will, upon request, send your state or local up to 200 of the snazzy Green Party Card applications. (The application form is also available as a PDF file at www.gp.org/documents/greenpartycard.pdf so that you can download it and print your own.) We encourage you to use the application forms at meetings and events, in mailings and other promotions, and when talking to friends and family members. And we'll send you more when you need them!

 

   The Green Party national office will coordinate the Green Party Card program with a state Card Coordinator. Completed applications are mailed to Green Party of the United States, PO Box 57065, Washington DC 20037, and the Green Party Card packets will be sent out from there. Each state will receive half of the proceeds for each person who signs up from their state. States are encouraged to share the money with the member's local Green Party. New contact information will be sent to the Card Coordinator promptly for follow-up at the state and local level. (Renewal notices will be sent out by the Green Party national office a month or two before the card expires.)

 

   No matter how a person from your state signs up, you will receive the state/local share for that member.

 

Order Now: 

 

We've printed an initial run of 5,000 applications to begin this project. Request forms, or send questions or comments to the national office at office at gp.org, (toll free) 866-41GREEN, or 202-319-7191. We look forward to hearing from you!

 

In Green Solidarity,
