The purpose of an Identity Caucus is to create a space within the party for AZGP members of historically marginalized identities and experiences to connect, advocate, and organize together around issues that affect their communities specifically, both within and outside of the party. Caucuses also serve the dual purpose of facilitating targeted outreach and promotion of the Green Party to these communities and act as a method of creating an organizing space that is welcoming and engaging to the members of these communities that join the AZGP.
Young Eco-Socialists (Youth Caucus)
The Young Ecosocialists (the Youth Caucus of the Green Party US) works to engage youth in Green issues and gives its members a voice within GPUS. Membership is open to anyone ages 14-35 in the United States who identifies as Green and pays caucus dues. In addition to using the Ten Key Values as guiding principles, YES declares itself to be an anti-oppression caucus, actively dedicated to the work of ending capitalism and dismantling white supremacy and cis-heteropatriarchy. YES emphasizes political independence from the corporate duopoly and working towards an ecosocialist future.

LatinX Caucus
Latinx Green Party members have formed a caucus to move the Green Party forward and we are excited to work together to discuss and share solutions. We want to invite, empower and expand the identity of Latinx's in the Green Party. We invite and urge Latinx's to utilize our cultural values as our strengths, including our experiences, struggles and contributions, not only with one another but with the Green Party. We feel that it is essential to have a Latinx Caucus organized, accredited, and active in Green Party organizing and participating in its decision-making process. It's time for us to embrace and celebrate our heritage and apply our ideas to advance our people and our growing Green Party. Sign up today and join our growing community of Latinx Caucus members, in Local and State Green Parties and on the Green Party National Committee. At this moment of crisis and transformation, for the nation and the Earth, our Green Parties need the power of the Latinx communities in their ranks. This won't happen without strong Latinx participation in the Green Party. We hope you will join us. Welcome to the Latinx Caucus!
