We are a growing
group of students concerned about the direction the province and country is
headed--fiscally, socially and environmentally.
We envision
a government that simply balances the books, treats people with dignity, and
properly cares for our environmental heritage.
Like most
British Columbians, most of us have never been involved in politics. But each of us have come to the
conclusion that, in order to create the government and world we want to live
in, it is important to act--on an ongoing basis. As Greens, we’ve decided that, rather
than merely protest, write letters to government, and wish governments would
perform on behalf of citizens, it is incumbent on us as citizens to form that government. And that while we work to form that
government, the stronger the Green Party gets, the more the Green Party sets
the political agenda of other parties!
Well, our
name gives it away—obviously, we support the Green Party of BC in this very
goal. And in the Green Party,
you’ll find few career politicians; for the most part, you’ll find people just
like you and me, who are devoting their otherwise busy lives to help make
UVic
Greens is an autonomous group of students that speaks not only for the Green Party,
but to the Green Party—for you! In other words, while we do support the principles and goals
of the Green Party of BC, we are not a subsidiary of the Party. So please, give us your ideas and feedback
on the Party, and we will be happy to see that it gets to the right people!
Our
activities include non-partisan voter registration and outreach, awareness raising on progressive
issues, cooperating with other progressive groups, clarifying what the Green
Party of BC is all about through poster and banner campaigns, as well as the
fun events listed in events.htm!
