The Green Party of Delaware County, Pennsylvania is committed to fostering progressive policies locally and supporting the efforts of Greens in neighboring counties, throughout the state and the nation. We endorse the Ten Key Values as ratified at the Green Party Convention in Denver, CO, June 2000 and the notion that democracy requires full participation on the part of the citizenry.
We invite anyone who shares our concern about the corrosive effect of corporate money on society and the political process, who seeks to protect our environment from careless development and harmful technologies, who wishes to help create a more just society and who recognizes the importance of solidarity in the face of concentrated power and wealth to join with us as we instill these values at the grass roots and beyond.
Recently, the Delco Greens have been working alongside other groups on SEPTA funding and improvement; the campaign for a Living Wage; electoral reforms like IRV and Choice Voting; the importance of environmental sensitivity in planning local development projects; and, of course, running progressive, forward-thinking candidates for public office.
Attention Upper Darby Residents:
There is an online petition to the Township Council to expand the recycling service to include plastics and glass in a single-tream system whereby all recyclables- paper, aluminum/bi-metal cans, plastics and glass can be collected curbside from a single bin. Media and Lansdowne boroughs also have this system in place.
If you would like to see these changes or learn more, please visit the website here. If you agree with the petition, follow the instructions to sign it. You need to include your street address to verify residency in the township but your email address will be kept private. If you wish to sign a paper petition or if you have any other questions, please contact Dave Schwartz (484-431-0902) or Barbarann Keffer (610-853-6334). Thank you!
Greens are guided by Ten Key Values:
Although Delco Greens has not ratified the GPUS platform and the platform is not binding on us, most Greens probably agree with most things in it ;-)
