The group has lead the Fair Trade campaign on campus to boost awareness of trade issues and get the CoHo to provide a larger selection of fair trade coffees and produce.
The Davis College Green Party led the original fight in the winter of 2002-2003 to get Choice Voting for ASUCD elections. Their members have continued to be active democracy supporters — keeping Choice Voting at ASUCD and supporting the efforts of groups like Davis Citizens for Representation to move Choice Voting along at the city level (for Davis City Council elections).
Green Party member ChrisJerdonek helped create the Stovetop software that made the election analysis for the ranked results of the Winter 2005 ASUCD Election possible. Check out http://davischoicevoting.org for complete election analysis.
