The party has been active in organizing around issues of peace, the death penalty, minority language rights, gay rights, rural sustainability, and academic freedom. The party has also worked with the Oklahoma Libertarian Party and the Oklahoma Constitution Party in seeking to reform Oklahoma's restrictive ballot access laws. In 2000, the party gathered nomination signatures to place Ralph Nader on the Oklahoma Presidential ballot but was unable to collect a sufficient amount. In 2016, the Green Party of Oklahoma broke with the GPUS when it endorsed Senator Bernie Sanders as president instead of the party's candidate Jill Stein.[2][3] Despite endorsing Sanders, the Green Party of Oklahoma remained affiliated with the national Green Party.
