, feedback welcome!

 

The Green Party of New York will renew our platform at our state committee and rank-and-file gathering on May 20, 2017 in Rensselaer, New York.

... and the GPNY Platform Committee needs your help to ensure our platform is sharp and up to date in articulating the demands of our movement.

The Platform Committee is inviting all Green Party members to contribute proposed planks to a draft platform, on the issues you are active in and/or for which you have expertise.

This is a great opportunity for you to help sharpen our message with a statement that speaks to the issues you care about during this year's local elections and .

In order to circulate drafts to Greens before the May 20 convention, we have a timeline for each step of this process.  

We are using a groundbreaking online tool to accept and discuss submissions, called Loomio. Visit our Loomio page now, sign up (it's free!) and request to join the group!

Not sure how to use Loomio? Check out the video from our live tele-training!

If you find that you are able to use Loomio, please start entering your planks and commenting on existing ones!
