About New Green Horizons

We are living through precarious times. Humanity is clearly facing a crisis of social and ecological unsustainabilty. Awareness of this crisis has motivated the emergence of the Green politics movement worldwide. The Greens have a distinctive perspective toward fundamentally transforming our political systems, our economic relations, and our lifeways in general.

The reality of climate change, war, exploitation, and oppression loom over our lives. Social movements, like Black Lives Matter, environmental protests, and solidarity with Palestine, embody the continued resistance from below to the current world disorder. The need is now posed for development of more united and politically conscious organizational forms to grow the power of the social movements and put ideals into practice. This constitutes an ongoing and difficult, yet essential process.

Electoral politics represent one form with the potential to unite and sustain these otherwise separated movements. The Green Party US is the largest national electoral party to the left of the corporate duopoly. Yet in spite of this, the Green Party struggles to realize its full potential.

Some of us within the Green Party have come together to create an online publication for critical discussion of Green principles, platform, practice and history, among the Green Party membership. We also welcome news reporting on Green Party activism, both in the US and internationally. We believe that open and non-confrontational political discussion, in conjunction with our practical work, will help the party overcome challenges and work more effectively for systemic change.

If you share this perspective, please join with us by submitting your written contributions to the discussion on our site (author guidelines are available for your reference). We also encourage those interested to contribute to our work in other ways, including soliciting articles, editing, graphics, and social media promotion.
