Statewide Zoom Call!
The next statewide call will be on TODAY! SUNDAY, July 13th at 4:00 PM!
This month, we'll be joined by Nancy Gaige, who’s done a LOT for the party, like serving as the campaign treasurer for Dr. Stein’s 2024 presidential campaign! She’ll tell us all about being a campaign treasurer, an important role for a campaign. It’ll be good stuff to know, so join us!
Get the zoom info & RSVP here:

These calls happen on the 2nd Sunday of every month at 4pm. The purpose is to educate Texans on Green policy, procedures, political theory & important issues relevant to life in the greatest of these United States. We aim to keep them positive & solution-focused.
The next one will be on August 10th. It's a great way to connect with other Greens, so keep an eye on our calendar for details. If there's a particular topic you'd like to discuss in a future meeting, let us know. We’d love to hear what’s worked well for your local group.
Get involved locally!
Take a look at our calendar: https://www.txgreens.org/calendar
We’ve got events in Denton County & Travis County, & other groups will have events soon, so check back for them. If there’s not an active group near you, we can help you get one started! Head to https://www.txgreens.org/how_to_start_a_local_group & send us a message if you’re interested in organizing. We’d LOVE to see that happen!
2026 Candidate Hunt
For Texas (and the world) to have a chance at a just & equitable future, we need WINS in 2026! That means starting campaigns ASAP. If you are willing to take on the role of a serious Green candidate in 2026, please review our prepared information and answer the Green Screen Survey Questions.
Not sure what you could run for? We could always use judges, if you qualify. Another good place to start is this page, which details different county positions: https://www.county.org/resources/resource-library/education-and-training/duties-texas-county-officials
Not ready for the spotlight? Consider volunteering as a campaign manager or recruiting potential candidates. Either way, GPTX needs all of us to become involved in developing our slate of candidates for 2026.
Candidate selection starts with the convention process - if your county doesn't have an affiliated group, please start one --> https://www.txgreens.org/how_to_start_a_local_group

GPTX needs money!
We operate on a shoestring - all our labor is volunteered!
BUT, with your financial support we could:
- Have signs, banners, & billboards in 2026!
- Reimburse filing fees to the campaigns of nominated candidates
- Maintain & improve our operations

Volunteer Opportunities
Standing Committees
Several seats are unfilled on the national standing committees. The SEC can approve appointment at any time, if you’re interested in serving in one of these positions.
We could really use help on the Fundraising Committee, but browse the other committees también & tell us at this page what you'd like to help with.
Social Media
Follow us on all the platforms! Links are here.
To help boost our social media posting frequency, we've created a content calendar. June, for instance, has Autistic Pride Day & Juneteenth. It is National Safety Month, Pride Month, and U.S. Caribbean Heritage Month. Jean-Jacques Rousseau was born on the 28th, so we could post about popular sovereignty.
If you have a little free time to find posting fodder for a particular month, so we have a backup topic for each day, send us a message with "content calendar" in the subject line to help out.
Are you an artist? We need content for our Instagram. The donation of some art based on our platform or covering something from the content calendar would help boost our visibility. Our social media team meets every Tuesday to work on posts. If you’d like to join, let us know.
Register Some Voters!
Help eliminate a barrier to voting by getting people to register. Head to this site for more info on how that's done:
