The Georgia Green Party or GGP is an unregistered political party in the American state of Georgia. The party is not an affiliate of the Green Party.[1] The GGP has also been barred access from ballots multiple times, causing them to consider lawsuits.[2]
Until July 26, 2021, the Green Party was fighting to have the GGP be registered by the Georgia General Assembly,[3] though this was countered by the primarily Republican majority in the legislature.
History[]
On April 24, 2017, the Georgia Green Party posts several logos including some mentioning revolution, peace, and progress.[4]
Transphobia Controversy and Disaffiliation[]
The GGP has recently endorsed the Women Picket DC.[5] On July 26, 2021, the Georgia Green Party was removed from the federation of the Green Party US for passing amendments in the state Party manifesto that violated the Green Party's values, specifically against transgender and sexual minority rights. The Georgia Green Party passed amendments without first having a vote through Party members that restricted the rights of transgender and gender non-conforming people, such as supporting bathroom bills and a ban on transgender people in sporting events. According to the Green Party US Accreditation Committee, this was a violation of Green Party values. A complaint was filed by the Lavender Caucus (the LGBTQ+ Caucus) in November 2020. On July 26, 2021, the National Committee of the Green Party of the United States voted with an 88% majority to remove the Georgia Green Party.[6][7]
