Statement of Greens for Dialogue Not Expulsion

The Lavender Caucus of the Green Party has issued a statement (https://www.facebook.com/LavenderGreens/) calling on the Georgia state party to retract its endorsement of the “Declaration on Women’s Sex-Based Rights” (https://www.womensdeclaration.com</a> and http://georgiagreenparty.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hr3_endorse_dwsbr.pdf) or face decertification by the national party. It is perfectly normal for Greens to have different viewpoints on this issue, as we do on many issues. The Green way to resolve such differences, however, is to talk to each other with an openness that seeks, at a minimum, a mutual understanding of alternative points of view. We—members, volunteers, contributors and supporters of the Green Party of the United States—therefore urge that instead of the action proposed by the Lavender Caucus a respectful discussion of these and related issues be organized. We ask that all member state parties, caucuses, candidates, and locals of the party take a step back from any suggestion that state organizations or their members be decertified, sanctioned, or silenced for positions they have adopted, or for concerns which they may have expressed on these important issues. We value decentralization, grassroots democracy, and a united Green Party—which will be especially important in this difficult election year. The political principles that unite us remain far more important than the questions where we clash, significant as those questions might be.

What does it mean to join the caucus?
Caucus members give their permission for elected caucus leadership to speak on behalf of the membership in the ongoing work of the caucus, will be invited to subscribe to a caucus discussion listserve, and if subscribed will be invited to caucus phone conferences, welcomed to speak and vote on caucus business, to run for caucus leadership roles.  

Petition signers will be counted as signers of the petition and be invited to subscribe to an announce listserve for periodic updates on campaign developments.  

It is our intention to publish summary data, including a raw count of the size of our membership, and aggregated counts of the leadership roles served by caucus members.  We will not publish the identity or contact information for our members without their explicit consent.  

The caucus has no intention of seeking accreditation with the national party under its rules for the recognition of identity caucuses.
