Green Politics and Diversity
The Green Party of the United States discusses a respect for diversity as follows:
- We believe it is important to value cultural, ethnic, racial, sexual, religious and spiritual diversity, and to promote the development of respectful relationships across these lines.
- We believe that the many diverse elements of society should be reflected in our organizations and decision-making bodies, and we support the leadership of people who have been traditionally closed out of leadership roles. We acknowledge and encourage respect for other life forms than our own and the preservation of biodiversity.

“Don’t eat
those nice green dollars your wife

—Jane Mayer, U.S. journalist, and Jill Abramson b. 1954, U.S. journalist. Strange Justice, p. 8, Houghton Mifflin (1994)
“What we have to do ... is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our differences without fracturing our communities.”
