Our Vision

The South Dakota Green Party is a grassroots political organization dedicated to creating a future where all individuals, communities, and our planet can thrive. Rooted deeply in the unique culture, history, and landscapes of South Dakota, our vision is one of sustainability, social justice, and community-driven change.

Our Pillars

We proudly stand on the foundational four pillars of the global Green Party movement:

1. Ecological Wisdom: Recognizing that human beings are a part of nature, not separate from it, we seek sustainable solutions that protect our state’s rich natural resources for generations to come.

2. Social Justice: Our commitment is to an inclusive South Dakota, where everyone, regardless of background, has equal opportunities and is treated with dignity and respect.

3. Grassroots Democracy: Power should be in the hands of the people. We aim to decentralize political power, ensuring that local communities have a voice in decisions that affect them.

4. Non-violence: We believe in peaceful means to achieve change, emphasizing dialogue, understanding, and cooperation.

Our Mission

As stewards of the land and champions of the people, our mission is to:

• Advocate for clean and renewable energy solutions that not only safeguard our environment but also create jobs and strengthen our local economies.
• Work towards reforms in areas like healthcare, education, and infrastructure that benefit every South Dakotan.
• Ensure that Indigenous rights and voices are recognized, respected, and integrated into policy-making.
• Foster an inclusive political environment where every citizen feels empowered to participate and voice their concerns.
