San Diego Green Party
We’re done with politics driven by corporate profits. The Green Party is here to build healthy communities, protect our environment, and put power back in the hands of the people.
We don’t answer to CEOs, lobbyists, or big donors. We do answer to neighbors, workers, and families in San Diego.

What We Believe
The San Diego Green Party is part of a global movement for people, planet, and peace. Our vision is grounded in Four Pillars that guide everything we do:
Grassroots Democracy – Real power belongs in the hands of people, not corporations or career politicians.
Social Justice – Every person deserves fairness, dignity, and opportunity. No exceptions.
Ecological Wisdom – Our future depends on protecting the Earth and living in good relationship with nature.
Nonviolence & Peace – Lasting security comes from cooperation, not endless wars or oppression.
Together, these pillars shape our fight for a San Diego—and a world—that is healthier, more just, and truly sustainable.

It’s time for something new
Democrats Have Controlled San Diego for Decades, Yet Nothing Has Changed.
Since the 1990s, Democrats have held power in San Diego, but what do we have to show for it? Skyrocketing rents, record homelessness, medical costs that bankrupt families, and ICE raids terrorizing our communities.
Meanwhile, billions of dollars leave our community to fund endless wars abroad—including the genocide in Gaza—while San Diegans are left behind.
The Green Party offers a real alternative grounded in justice, peace, and sustainability.
