Committees

The Denver Green Party has several sub-committees, which focus on different aspects of Green politics:

The Coalition-Diversity Committee works to forge alliances with community groups having Green values. Its mission is to encourage local business; to foster grassroots community initiative in the interest of neighborhoods, individuals, and families; and to promote Green values among diverse cultural, religious, and ethnic groups by bringing together the power of community activism and progressive politics.

The Campaign Committee is the political arm of the DGP, working on election research and planning, candidate recruitment and support, voter registration, and voter education. The goal of the campaign committee is to build progressive legitimacy in local politics, by designing and promoting strong Green campaigns where the progressive message is a real choice for voters.
Contact the Campaign Committee

The Fundraising Committee raises money to finance the operations of the DGP, which include newsletter mailing costs, parade and festival participation fees, campaign and special-issue advertising, web hosting, and meeting-place fees. A current goal is to be able to fund a permanent office for the DGP. Money is raised both through special events and by direct appeals to voters and the community.

The Technology Committee is responsible for maintaining the DGP web site, and using online technology for voter education.

The Communications Committee is responsible for campaign and issue advertising, press releases, and publishing of newsletters, brochures, and flyers.
