Local Chapters

For locals contact people: Sign in Attendance at Your Meetings Online

Since decentralization is one of our core values, most of our work is done through the following local chapters:

In the following places, one or more people are attempting to form a local chapter:

Forming a New Local Group

If you are, or would like to become, a Green activist but don't live in any of the places listed above, we invite you to start your own local chapter. We'll start by listing you as a contact person and referring people in our database and who have inquired about the Greens to you. The NY Greens Web Collective, the maintainer of this web page, can set up a web site for you and show you how to maintain it. You can also get help from the NY State Greens' membership coordinator, Maria Kuriloff.

After you hold your first meeting, you can apply to become a local organizing committee. To become a full-fledged local chapter, you'll have to hold regular meetings and have a minimum of three members. These members must satisfy three criteria:

They must agree with our statement of purpose.
They must pay dues annually. Dues are not a fixed amount; there is a sliding scale depending on how much an individual can afford.
They must enroll in the Green Party with the Board of Elections if they are eligible to vote. If they aren't eligible to vote, they must sign a statement saying that they would enroll in the Green Party if they could.

A new local chapter must be accepted by a majority vote of the other local chapters at an assembly meeting. Local chapters are required to participate in NY State Greens assembly meetings.

For more information about starting a new chapter, e-mail Maria Kuriloff at nassaunader@aol.com.
