Welcome to the homepage of the Johnson County Green Party. We are an affiliate of the Iowa Green Party and the Green Party of the United States.

"Young Corn" by Grant Wood

Committed to environmentalism, non-violence, social justice and grassroots organizing, the Green Party and its affiliates seek to speak truth to corporate power about alternative energy, corporate globalization, universal health care, election reform and decent wages for workers.

The Green Party of the United States is recognized by the Federal Elections Commission, and is a partner of the European Federation of Green Parties and the Federation of Green Parties of the Americas.

Please visit www.greenpartyus.org or www.greens.org to view the national platform. For information about the Iowa Green Party, please see www.greens.org/iowa.

As of Jan. 1st, 2008 the State of Iowa will recognize "non-party political organizations" on the state voter registration forms, which will contain a space for registering with the Iowa Green Party (or another non-major political party). To join, please visit the Johnson County Registrar's site at www.johnson-county.com/auditor/voter/vrfrmins.htm and register "Iowa Green Party."

We need your help to elect our dedicated candidates, and to maintain hard-earned access to the ballot itself. To receive announcements for Johnson County Green meetings and events, and to vote on local Green Party issues, please send an e-letter to our secretary (and 2002 candidate for lieutenant governor) Holly Hart, at hhart11@gmail.com.

We meet each month, currently at Uptown Bill's Small Mall on Gilbert Street, and will post exact information about each forthcoming meeting on this site. We hope to see you there, and above all, we hope that you will VOTE GREEN in future elections.
