GreenMaps is a map of Green candidates and organisations. GreenMaps makes it easy to find your local parties and candidates.  It is an alternative to NationBuilder.    When a candidate declares or a local group forms, they get an instant webpage which they can edit, a zip-code-targeted mailing list (with voter data) and a dedicated Discord channel for organising. GreenMaps plays well with WordPress, Email, Discord and Mastodon.  You can also link to other social media accounts. 

GreenMaps has:

• Zero fees.
• No lock in.  Every state or country can run their own server with all source code included.
• GDPR based privacy.  Your data is never sold, and is only duplicated for backups.
• No conflict of interest, we do not do business with the Democrats or Republicans.  We do not take corporate donations.

NationBuilder​

• Charges per server ("Nation").
• Charges extra for add-ons, APIs, and more data.
• Uses servers under the control of a US corporation based in the US jurisdiction.
• Is closed source.
• I do not know if US Green Parties are using the Nation Builder Advanced Privacy suite of tools or not. And if not, then i do not know what happens with our data. 

Green Maps was created for the Howie Hawkins presidential campaign, GreenMaps has evolved since then:

• Faster performance,
• Voter self-registration (add yourself to zip-code maps),
• Known bugs removed,
• A growing community of Green organisers.

GreenMaps plays well with WordPress.    

• -Our Discord group includes both WordPress and GreenMaps developers.
• We provide both GreenMaps and WordPress hosting, 
• We provide both GreenMaps canddidate and party sites, and WordPress local party sites. 
• both have ListMonk email subscription list clients,- GreenMaps can import WordPress social media links.

GreenMaps conforms to the Green Party values of 

• Grass Roots Democracy, Free to use.
• Equal Opportunity:  Every candidate and organisation gets the same services.
• Ecological Wisdom: No AI, minimal data storage.
• Decentralisation: each state or country can run their own server.
• Global Responsibility:  Started in the US, increasingly multilingual, will spread globally.
• Sustainability: Less than $10/month to run the servers.
