Green Party
Between August 4 to August 7, 2016, the Green Party held its presidential nominating convention at the University of Houston, in which Jill Stein (shown) and Ajamu Baraka were elected the Green Party’s presidential and vice-presidential nominees, respectively.
Officially recognized by the Federal Election Commission as a national political party in 1991, the Green Party of the United States (GPUS), or Greens as they are sometimes called, is the largest left-wing third party in the United States. According to its 2016 platform, the Green Party calls for building an “economy based on large-scale green public works, municipalization, and workplace and community democracy.” The platform continues:
Some call this decentralized system ecological socialism, communalism, or the cooperative commonwealth, but whatever the terminology, we believe it will help end labor exploitation, environmental exploitation, and racial, gender, and wealth inequality and bring about economic and social justice due to the positive effects of democratic decision making.
