Using Our Funds to Start a Trust
Platform Change Without A.I.
December Hiatus

Using Our Funds to Start a Trust

We opened with a powerful inquiry: can our collective funds seed a trust that safeguards our values and supports long-term autonomy? The conversation explored legal pathways, fiduciary responsibilities, and the potential for a trust to serve as a vessel for future offerings. Next steps include consulting a financial advisor and mapping the trust’s purpose with clarity and care.

Platform Change Without A.I.

In a principled move, we discussed transitioning to a new platform that excludes artificial intelligence. This shift is rooted in our commitment to privacy, sovereignty, and intentional design. We’re currently evaluating alternatives that honor our workflow while preserving our values. A transition timeline and support plan are in the works.

December Hiatus

This gathering marked our final circle before the calendar turns. We reflected on the year’s thresholds, what we built, what we released. Monthly meetings will resume in January of 2026.

Whatever holidays you celebrate or don’t, the Nevada Green Party wishes everyone a healthy, happy and harmonious New Year.

The Nevada Green Party is the “We Party.”
We work together to solve real problems.
We believe in fairness, sustainability, and community.
Every person matters. Every action counts.
You are part of WE.
And WE make change happen.

Nevada Green Rhythm – October 2025 Edition

Building Ballot Access and Re-imagining Campaigns
From Access to Architecture: A Movement in Motion
Bylaws as Backbone: Codifying Our Principles

Building Ballot Access and Re-imagining Campaigns

This month, we’ve been deep in the trenches of national political strategy, sharpening our approach to electoral engagement and ballot access. In Nevada, efforts to secure Green Party placement on the ballot continue with renewed vigor, combining legal precision, grassroots mobilization, and principled outreach. These strategies aren’t just about meeting thresholds; they’re about expanding democratic choice and amplifying voices often left out of mainstream discourse.

But the work doesn’t stop at access. We’re also exploring a bold new campaign architecture, one that replaces top-down control with a decentralized mesh network of organizers, supporters, and local chapters. This model aims to foster transparency, resilience, and genuine democratic participation. That’s the future we’re building.

From Access to Architecture: A Movement in Motion

As we refine our ballot access strategy in Nevada, we’re also reflecting on the broader implications of political participation. Every signature gathered is more than a procedural step, it’s a declaration that democracy must be lived, not just promised. Our volunteers and circulators are not just collecting names; they’re cultivating conversations, planting seeds of civic engagement in communities across the state.

Meanwhile, the campaign’s evolving architecture signals a shift from hierarchy to harmony. The decentralized mesh network we’re building isn’t just a technical framework, it’s a philosophical stance. It invites collaboration over command, transparency over opacity, and resilience over rigidity. By distributing decision-making power, we’re creating a living system where local voices shape national direction, and where accountability is built into the very structure of our organizing.
This isn’t just a campaign, it’s a prototype for a new kind of political ecosystem.

Bylaws as Backbone: Codifying Our Principles

As our campaign architecture evolves, so too must the foundational documents that guide it. This month, we’ve begun the process of transforming our internal bylaws into a formal legal document. One that not only meets state requirements, but reflects our values with clarity and conviction. This isn’t just paperwork; it’s a document of accountability.

By codifying our bylaws, we’re creating a durable framework for decision-making, conflict resolution, and organizational continuity. Every clause is being reviewed through the lens of democratic integrity and grassroots empowerment. The goal? A living document that protects transparency, honors member input, and ensures that our decentralized mesh network has a principled spine.
This legal transformation marks a turning point: from informal consensus to formal commitment. From intention to infrastructure.

Nevada Green Rhythm September 2025 Edition

Exploring Unlikely Alliances
Funding the Future
Accepting Support Without Losing Identity
Building the Digital Backbone

Exploring Unlikely Alliances
In a bold and pragmatic move, the Nevada Greens convened to explore potential collaboration with another entity aimed at securing ballot access. The conversation was candid and layered—recognizing both the tactical advantages and the ideological tensions such a partnership might invite.

Legal support and resource sharing were central themes
Guardrails were proposed to preserve Green autonomy and integrity
Messaging implications were discussed with care and foresight
This isn’t about compromise, it’s about access, visibility, and the right to be heard.

Funding the Future
The group examined a spectrum of funding arrangements, from co-sponsored legal efforts to shared campaign infrastructure. Transparency and ethical clarity were emphasized throughout.

Mixed funding streams: potential benefits and reputational risks
Donor vetting protocols: ensuring alignment with Green values
Strategic partnerships: balancing pragmatism with principle
The goal: build a war chest without selling our soul.

Accepting Support Without Losing Identity
The question of accepting alternate support sparked a rich dialogue. Some saw opportunity; others voiced concern. All agreed: any collaboration must be rooted in clear boundaries and unwavering commitment to the Green platform.

Messaging sovereignty remains non-negotiable
Grassroots trust must be earned, not gambled
Tactical alliances must not become ideological entanglements

Building the Digital Backbone
Operational needs took center stage in the final segment of the meeting. Website administration, cybersecurity, and data stewardship were flagged as urgent priorities.

Formation of an IT Committee is underway
Volunteer recruitment for tech roles has begun
A digital audit will guide next steps
Infrastructure isn’t just wires and code—it’s the scaffolding of our movement.

What’s Next?
A follow-up meeting is scheduled to finalize decisions on collaboration terms, funding protocols, and operational strategy. Draft proposals will be circulated in advance to ensure focused deliberation.

Closing Note:
As Nevada Greens navigate complex terrain, we remain rooted in our values and open to strategic evolution. This moment calls for clarity, courage, and rhythm. Let’s keep the beat.

The Nevada Green Party is the “We Party”, the Party of Solutions! Don’t ever forget that YOU are a part of WE.

Strategy

Candidate Announcements

As we prepare for the 2026 election cycle, the Nevada Green Party is entering a pivotal phase of candidate recruitment and campaign development. Over the coming months, individuals across the state will begin announcing their candidacy for a range of offices, and our party is actively laying the groundwork to support their efforts.

Co-chair Eric LaRue is leading outreach to prospective candidates, engaging with community members who share our values of ecological wisdom, social justice, grassroots democracy, and nonviolence. At the same time, Organizing Director Jacob Ford is building the digital and logistical infrastructure needed to help candidates manage their campaigns effectively, from filing deadlines and voter outreach to communications and compliance.

We encourage all interested individuals to reach out to party leadership to explore the possibility of running for office. Whether you’re a seasoned advocate or a first-time candidate, this is a powerful opportunity to help shape Nevada’s future through principled, people-powered leadership.

While we welcome candidates for all ballot-accessible positions, we are especially focused on key races for Governor, Secretary of State, Congress, and State Assembly. These offices carry significant potential to advance our platform and bring ethical, transparent governance to the forefront of Nevada politics.
Together, we can build a slate of candidates who reflect the courage, clarity, and commitment our communities deserve.

Gerrymandering

Across the country, concern is mounting over the practice of gerrymandering, where Congressional districts are manipulated to serve partisan interests at the expense of fair representation. In several neighboring states, this trend has intensified, undermining public trust and distorting the democratic process.
Here in Nevada, however, we stand at a unique crossroads. Unlike states where one major party holds entrenched control, Nevada’s political landscape remains more balanced, creating a rare and meaningful opportunity for minor parties like ours to gain traction and offer voters a genuine alternative.

This relative equilibrium opens the door for principled candidates to step forward, unencumbered by the machinery of partisan dominance. It allows space for grassroots voices, ethical governance, and bold ideas to take root and flourish.
As we approach the 2026 election cycle, the Nevada Green Party is committed to seizing this moment, not only to challenge the status quo, but to model what transparent, inclusive, and accountable politics can look like in practice.

Strategy

The Nevada Green Party is actively evaluating strategies and practices brought forward by our members, drawing from their experiences in a wide range of organizations and movements. This collaborative process allows us to explore new methods for outreach, engagement, and governance, while remaining firmly rooted in our core values of transparency, ecological wisdom, grassroots democracy, and social justice.

Our members bring with them rich backgrounds working alongside diverse communities, labor unions, environmental coalitions, mutual aid networks, and advocacy groups, each offering insights that strengthen our capacity to connect with Nevadans across the state. These lived experiences are helping us build bridges, foster trust, and expand our reach in ways that reflect the inclusive, people-powered vision we hold for Nevada’s future.

As we integrate these approaches, we remain committed to ensuring that every strategy we adopt aligns with our foundational principles. This is not just about operational improvement—it’s about cultivating a movement that honors integrity, uplifts community voices, and charts a path toward a more just and equitable Nevada.

The Nevada Green Party is the “We Party”, the Party of Solutions! Don’t ever forget that YOU are a part of WE.

Moving The Website

We’re actively engaged in negotiations to transition our website from WordPress to a more open-source platform, one that better aligns with our values of accessibility, affordability, and user empowerment. The current setup, while functional, has posed limitations in terms of ease of use, customization, and cost-efficiency. By moving to a more streamlined and open alternative, we aim to foster clearer engagement pathways, reduce maintenance burdens, and free up resources to serve our community more effectively.

We’ll continue to provide timely updates throughout this process and welcome any feedback or suggestions as we move toward a more dynamic and inclusive digital space.

GPUS Current Status Report

The Green Party of the United States is currently in the midst of internal elections to select new leadership across key roles. The process includes voting for incoming members of the Steering Committee, our party’s primary decision-making body, as well as electing a new GPUS Treasurer and Secretary.

These transitions represent an important moment in our party’s development, offering an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to transparency, integrity, and participatory governance. As candidates present their platforms and members cast their votes, we encourage thoughtful engagement with the issues and qualities that define effective leadership.

We’ll continue to provide updates throughout the election cycle and share results once the process concludes. Thank you for remaining engaged as we work together to shape the future of GPUS.

Nevada Candidates Status Report

As part of our long-term electoral strategy, we’re currently in conversation with three potential candidates who are considering runs for office in 2026 and/or 2028. These individuals represent a bold, principled vision that aligns deeply with our values, each bringing unique experiences and commitments that reflect our priorities for justice, accountability, and grassroots empowerment.
While their official declarations are still forthcoming, we are working closely with them to ensure a strong foundation for their campaigns. Once they make their public announcements, we look forward to formally introducing them to our broader community and highlighting the transformative platforms they are developing.

This is an exciting moment for those of us committed to cultivating authentic leadership, stay tuned for their declarations and the momentum they’re poised to ignite.

Plans for the Future

We’re proud to share that Jacob Ford has taken an active leadership role in advancing the mission and visibility of our Party. His efforts have already begun yielding tangible results, bringing in new members, fostering deeper engagement, and identifying passionate individuals ready to take their commitment to the next level by running for office.

Jacob’s work reflects a broader momentum within our movement, one rooted in grassroots growth, principled leadership, and a renewed dedication to building power from the ground up. Through thoughtful outreach, organizing, and mentorship, he’s helping cultivate the next generation of Green Party candidates who are prepared to champion justice, ecological responsibility, and systemic accountability.

As this work continues, we remain committed to expanding our organizing infrastructure and supporting emerging leaders at every level. These plans represent not just hope for the future, but a concrete pathway toward a more representative and resilient political force.

New Friends

At our most recent Monthly Meeting, we were joined by a fellow Green from Canada who reached out expressing interest in our work and quickly became an engaged participant in our discussions. She’s preparing to relocate to Nevada and sought to gain insight into our State Party’s vision, culture, and organizing approach.

The exchange proved incredibly meaningful. Her questions sparked thoughtful dialogue, and her perspective added a welcomed layer of global awareness to our local efforts. It’s moments like these that remind us how interconnected our movements truly are, how shared values can bridge geography and amplify purpose.

We look forward to welcoming her fully into our community once she arrives, and we’re excited about the possibilities ahead as we continue building across borders with allies who share our vision for justice and ecological balance.

The Nevada Green Party is the “We Party”, the Party of Solutions! Don’t ever forget that YOU are a part of WE.

##For Immediate Release##

The Nevada Green Party fully condemns the shooting attack on two Minnesota Legislators this past week. The escalating violence between American citizens who hold differing, conflicting, or even opposing political ideologies will ultimately not serve to solve the underlying problems, which are at the root of these conflicts, nor will it facilitate the problem solving process, that is crucial to improving the quality of life for citizens and residents of a democratic society.

These brazen political assassinations are, at their core, an outgrowth of the turmoil that is festering as a result of the eroded sense of safety and security that we have witnessed due to economic and social destabilization in recent years and decades. And while condemning the attack itself, we further recognize that solving many of the economic and sociopolitical issues that the two major parties have failed to solve thus far would go a long way to quelling the unrest that leads to such acts of violence.

While working to bring the person responsible to justice, as well as to keep our citizens, elected officials, and candidates safe, we likewise call upon those elected officials and candidates to redouble their efforts to secure socioeconomic stability and security to their constituents.

NEVADA Green Rhythm – June 2025 Edition

Messaging Communication System
Voter Registration Drive
Indigenous Voter Outreach
Dismissed and Disenfranchised

Messaging Communication System Update
June’s meeting focused on drafting a contract and exploring patent options for Organizing Director Jacob Ford’s technological innovations. The primary objective was to safeguard the application from misuse, exploitation, or abuse by bad-faith entities while establishing a robust security framework for intellectual property protection within Nevada Green Party Tech.

Voter Registration Drive
Co-Chair Eric LaRue is coordinating efforts to ensure regular participation in Las Vegas’ First Friday event, as well as organizing attendance at upcoming festivals across Nevada’s counties. Excitement is especially high for the Cantaloupe Festival, which everyone is eagerly anticipating!

Indigenous Voter Outreach
The Nevada Green Party is committed to building partnerships that empower Indigenous communities. As part of this effort, we intend to reach out to the Native Voters Alliance Nevada to explore opportunities for voter outreach and civic engagement within tribal nations. Our goal is to support voter registration drives, advocate for accessible polling locations on tribal lands, and provide educational resources on key ballot measures affecting Indigenous sovereignty, environmental protections, and community well-being. By fostering connections with Native leaders and activists, we aim to amplify Indigenous voices in Nevada’s political landscape, reinforcing equity, self-determination, and systemic change.

Dismissed and Disenfranchised
During our open discussion, we shared personal stories about how we found a home in the Green Party—a place where our voices matter. A common thread emerged: the experience of being overlooked, dismissed, and disenfranchised by the top-down structures of the two major parties. Their abandonment of the principles that once inspired civic engagement left many of us searching for a political movement that truly prioritizes equality and representation. Together, in the Green Party we are building a space that reflects those values, advocating for the people who have been left behind and working toward a shared vision of justice and accountability.

The Nevada Green Party is the “We Party”, the Party of Solutions! Don’t ever forget that YOU are a part of WE.

##For Immediate Release##

The Nevada Green Party strongly condemns the government of Israel in their airstrikes against the nation of Iran. This act only serves to demonstrate their aggressive intent and will further serve to inflame military tensions in the region, it will lead to the deaths of innocent civilians in both countries.

Given the Israeli regime’s genocidal actions towards Palestinians in Gaza, and now compounding this with aggressive military actions towards Iran and other Middle Eastern nations they consider to be part of “Greater Israel” (despite the lack of historical claim or precedent), the most logical assumption is that the government of Israel is not acting in good faith, and American citizens must not allow themselves to become embroiled in the Israeli military’s bad faith actions.

The United States’ military expenditures already far exceed those of any of its domestic priorities, and have not served to preserve the safety of American citizens and residents, and instead, have only served to further endanger Americans by increasing hostilities towards our nation by its military engagements and encouraging those of its allies such as Israel.

We insist that the American voters condemn these actions by Israel, as well as Netanyahu’s intention to “fight Iran as long as necessary,” thus leading to further death and destruction of human lives. Furthermore, we insist that the American government and its elected officials echo this condemnation as representatives of their constituents.

##For Immediate Release ##

The Nevada Green Party strongly condemns the actions of the Trump administration, in seizing control of the National Guard, in response to Constitutionally protected protests against the actions of ICE in recent months, against law abiding residents of this country.

While these actions took place in the state of California, to our west, we are watching with grave concern, that these actions will be mirrored in other states, where immigrants are experiencing harsh treatment by this administration, through ICE and its agents, who are further seeking to avoid accountability for their actions, including through extralegal means. The dignity and human respect of those who come to our country for reasons of safety, security, and prosperity should not be in question.

Furthermore, the use of the National Guard in a clear attempt to suppress the First Amendment rights to free speech and freedom of assembly, sets a dangerous authoritarian precedent, one which this administration seems only too happy to set. As such, all citizens, including those who may have supported this President in the past, should withdraw their support for this President as well as their consent, to be governed by these heinous acts.

Additionally, the Nevada Green Party condemns the votes of Reps. Susie Lee (NV-3) and Stephen Horsford (NV-4) to “express gratitude” to ICE in their acts of oppression and tyranny.

Nevada Green Party co-chair Eric LaRue stated, “Their constituents include those who are immigrants, who are the children of immigrants, as well as those of us who have family and friends who are immigrants. If they believe that representing their constituents includes supporting these oppressive acts, I’m sure there will be those who are willing to rise up and challenge them in the next election, to demonstrate otherwise.”

Nevada Green Party officials remain available to any and all who would be willing to organize actions to counteract these acts of oppression. Please feel free to contact us at nvgreenparty@gmail.com
