The Left Green Network (LGN) was an ecosocialist organization created by Murray Bookchin and Howie Hawkins.
[2] In 1988, Bookchin and Hawkins founded LGN as a radical alternative to liberalism in the US Green movement, based around the principles of social ecology and libertarian municipalism.
[5] LGN worked within the GCoC to advance social ecologist views,[6] to demand a stronger anti-capitalist stance,[1] and to oppose realo politics.
[7] In their founding documents, LGN explicitly rejected the "left wing of the possible" framing coined by Michael Harrington of the Democratic Socialists of America.
[11] Due to its power in the G/GPUSA, LGN played a large role in shaping the Green movement's political positions, especially its focus on ecological social justice rather than a narrow environmentalism.
