Background

Insofar as the current Ecoaction Committee mission statement is not entirely clear on its purpose and scope, this proposal amends the committee's mission statement and recodifies the remaining Committee rules as follows:

Proposal

SECTION 1.

Replace existing Ecoaction Committee mission statement, which reads:

"The Green Party of the United States shall establish an EcoAction
Committee. The purpose and function of this committee shall be to facilitate
the planning and achievement of eco-justice action proposals adopted by the
Green Party, to support and promote the Green Party's candidates,
eco-justice platform and agenda, and to promote and lobby for responsible
government stewardship of the Earth and its inhabitants. For the purposes of
this committee, the term eco-justice refers to ecological wisdom and
environmental justice."

With the following language:

Article I Mission Statement
