Background

The current Article I of the GPUS Bylaws contains only two bare purpose statements, providing no substantive description of the Party’s foundational mission or structure. This proposal expands Article I into three clearly numbered sections that reflect the Party’s actual governing structure and commitments.

Proposal

Amend the GPUS Bylaws, Article I, "Purpose", (https://gpus.org/bylaws/)

Current Bylaws:

ARTICLE I. PURPOSE

1. Assist in the development of State Green Parties
2. Create a legally structured national Green Party Federation

New Bylaws:

ARTICLE I. PURPOSE
