Step 1
Join a university group that supports the Green Party of the United States. Students interested in environmental stewardship and social justice outside of the two party system often embrace the Green Party while in college. This experience can help you determine your future career and your long-term political values.
-
Step 2
Attend local fairs and public events where the Green Party is represented to learn how to join. These events are preferable to a simple online search because you can speak to an experienced volunteer or a Green Party candidate who can answer your questions.
-
Step 3
Review the national platform laid out by the Green Party of the United States to determine how closely it fits your values. Create a chart with categories on major issues, write a summary of the Green Party position and check each box that matches your beliefs.
-
Step 4
Get involved with the marketing of the Green Party of the United States in print and online. Letter to the editor campaigns led by party members help increase awareness of Green Party positions on current events. You can also create blogs and websites to advocate certain candidates or Green Party positions.
-
Step 5
Assist your local Green Party organization in gaining ballot access for city and state candidates. State election laws dictate a certain number of signatures that need to be collected to include political candidates on a voting ballot. The Green Party has a regular presence in many parts of the country but your assistance can demonstrate the strength of the party in your community.
-
Step 6
Establish a local chapter of the Green Party of the United States if there is none present. You should solicit volunteers and assistance among your friends, coworkers and family to get the chapter off the ground. The state and national organizations also provide advice and assistance once you register your group.
