The Green Party in the United States is generally supportive of the Ten Key Values, some of which include: Nonviolence, Ecological Wisdom, Social Justice and Grassroots Democracy. Other Green Parties around the world favor similar values, but most Green Party groups have slight differences. For some history of the Green Party in the US, see the wikipedia page on the Green Party History.
The current Alameda County Council members were elected in the June 3, 2008 election.
