The Green Party of New Jersey is working hard to champion the needs of all of us. The Lavender Caucus is the place for Greens who identify as LGBTQIA+ to discuss and push for policies that reflect our unique needs. In addition, we will be taking actions to support our community and bring people together in solidarity, and we will provide an opportunity for you to learn leadership and organizing skills, make new friends, and have some fun.

Membership is open to LGBTQIA+ (or questioning) individuals who are registered and/or dues paying Greens in New Jersey (unless ineligible to register due to immigration or legal status, etc.)

Please join us!
