Green Party of Oklahoma | |
The Green Party of Oklahoma is a political party in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. It was formed in 2002 through a gradual coalition of various state green groups and received its accreditation from the Green Party of the United States (GPUS) in May 2005. Its stated aims are a commitment to environmentalism, non-violence, social justice, and grassroots democracy.[1]
The party has been active in organizing around issues of peace, the death penalty, minority language rights, gay rights, rural sustainability, and academic freedom. The party has also worked with the Oklahoma Libertarian Party and the Oklahoma Constitution Party in seeking to reform Oklahoma's restrictive ballot access laws. In 2000, the party gathered nomination signatures to place Ralph Nader on the Oklahoma Presidential ballot but was unable to collect a sufficient amount. In 2016, the Green Party of Oklahoma broke with the GPUS when it endorsed Senator Bernie Sanders as president instead of the party's candidate Jill Stein.[2][3] Despite endorsing Sanders, the Green Party of Oklahoma remained affiliated with the national Green Party.
