With the presidential election months in the past, Green Party members in New York are continuing to organize and work towards forming new state party chapters.

The Hudson Valley Green Party is planning on holding an organizational meeting in June in Beacon, New York. They're planning on adopting bylaws and electing officers. The counties involved are Dutchess, Putnam, Westchester, Ulster and Orange.
