| Green Party of the United States | ↔ | Illinois Green Party and 43 other state Green Parties | ↔ | Prairie Green Party and other local Green Parties |
The Green Party has three separate levels of organization: National, State, and Local.
In terms of hierarchy, local Green Parties and the grassroots Greens that run them make most of the decisions for that party. The state and national party serve to connect locals and organize electoral and issue campaigns that take place on a larger geographic level than the area encompassed by the local Green Party.
