The Green Mountain Peace and Justice Party (GMPJP), previously named the Liberty Union Party (LUP) until 2021, is a socialist political party in Vermont, United States. LUP formed in 1970 by progressives to contest the 1970 Senate election.
GMPJP is a self-proclaimed "non-violent socialist party". In 1995, LUP was described by The New York Times as the cradle of progressivism in Vermont.[6]
GMPJP is the fourth-largest party in Vermont after the Democratic, Republican, and Progressive parties.
Notable past and present members include William H. Meyer, Peter Diamondstone, Bernie Sanders, Michael Parenti, and Mary Alice Herbert.
