About us
The Lake Winnebago Green Party (LWGP)
is a growing group of concerned citizens who apply Green
principles to political, social, and environmental issues.
Unlike the Democrats and Republicans,
the Lake Winnebago Green Party exists to improve our communities
first and foremost. Running candidates for office is only
one method for us to achieve this goal. We are holding local
governments accountable; fighting for economic and social
justice; working for cleaner air and water; and building
coalitions against War and Violence.
If you want to work with a group of active
individuals who truly believe in the power of people to
make a difference, we encourage you to join with us and
help make our communities an dthe world a better place.
The LWGP serves the counties of Outagamie,
Winnebago, Fond du Lac, Green Lake, and Waushara. We are
affiliated with the Wisconsin Green Party, and work closely
with Campus Greens chapters at UW Oshkosh and Ripon College.
Green and growing
Building a third-party progressive movement
is a challenge, but it is one we must take up. We are making
progress. In fact, nationally the Green Party is the fastest
growing political party. In 2004 there were over 400 candidates
in at least 40 states, 70 of whom won. As of August 2005
there were 224 Greens in office nation wide. Wisconsin is
one of the strongest states for the Green Party, where there
are 19 elected officials from the Green Party. Wisconsin
also boats the longest running Green elected official Dave
Conley, Board of Supervisors, Douglas County, Wisconsin
(1990-2006). To keep growing green, we need support from
people like you who are tired of politics as usual and want
to see a real alternative.
