“Radical in values, disciplined in action”
August 6, 2025 | Dearborn Blog
In a major step forward for grassroots politics and principled leadership, Mark Elbourno has been elected Treasurer of the Green Party of the United States, bringing with him a bold, strategic vision for justice, equity, and sustainability.
Elbourno, a well-known organizer within the Green movement, currently serves as Vice Chair of the North Carolina Green Party, President of the Arab American & Muslim American Caucus, member of the Green Party’s Diversity Committee, and Senior Advisor to the Stein-Ware 2024 campaign.
In his post-election statement, Elbourno reminded supporters that titles don’t build movements—people do:
“A title means nothing without action, and action means nothing without the people on the ground.
This party is not defined by any one person. It is defined by the working people, the organizers, the volunteers, the freedom fighters, and the everyday visionaries who dare to challenge the status quo and build something better.”
🌿 A Vision Rooted in Justice, Grounded in Strategy
Elbourno’s roadmap for the Green Party is urgent, ambitious, and refreshingly actionable. He’s pushing for:
- Strong grassroots infrastructure in all regions
- Hiring professional staff to lead field organizing, ballot access, and communications
- Deep coalition-building with historically excluded communities
- A culture of transparency, decentralization, and internal democracy
This is more than organizational talk—it’s a call to build real political power for the people long left out of American politics.
“We need a structure that supports our volunteers,” Elbourno said. “That starts with paid roles in fundraising, communications, and ballot access. These investments will help us grow, support candidates, and stay on the ballot nationwide.”
🤝 A Party That Belongs to the People—Here and Everywhere
What makes Elbourno’s vision stand out is its blend of local and global solidarity. From Gaza to Flint, Oakland to Appalachia, his message is loud and clear: the Green Party must be…
- Professional without losing its soul
- Radical in values, disciplined in action
- A home for every voice and every struggle for dignity
“This is power for justice—for workers, for the planet, and for those who’ve never had a seat at the table.”
🚀 What’s Next for the Greens
With growing disillusionment toward the two-party system, especially among younger voters and marginalized communities, the Green Party is at a crossroads. Elbourno’s election as Treasurer reflects a rising demand for the party to modernize its operations while staying true to its revolutionary roots.
“Our limits are not fixed. Our potential is not capped. The future is not written. It’s ours to shape—together.”
