  • Vote Green, Peace, Flower by Shawna Cole

    The Green Party of New York State regained automatic ballot status by getting over 50,000 votes for their Governor candidate in 2010. Look for us soon on your voter registration form and your ballot.

    Gaining ballot status enables the Green Party to run more peace candidates, more single-payer candidates, more anti-fracking candidates, and more sustainable energy candidates.

    The last time that the Green Party of New York State had ballot status it set the record for running the most Green candidates of any state.

    The Green Party is an alternative party to the Democrats and Republicans. The four pillars of the Green Party are: Nonviolence/Peace; Grassroots Democracy; Social and Economic Justice; and Ecological Wisdom.

    If you are interested in getting involved in the Green Party of Suffolk,you can call 631-351-5763 or email info@gpsuffolk.org

    You can enroll in the Green Party by checking the box marked "Green Party" on the voter registration form and writing in the word "Green" on the line next to it. Click here to find a voter registration form.
