Bio
Morgen D'Arc founded Women in Green Politics in Maine in 2001, co-founded the National Women's Caucus (NWC) of the Green Party of the United States in 2002 and was elected co-chair of the NWC in 2004. She is the author of the section on Women's Rights in the Green Party Platform, the first substantive content for women's rights in the history of the Green Party.

Her focus has been on drawing more women to the Green Party to create a larger pool of women from which to recruit party leaders, candidates for public and appointed office, campaign workers and other volunteers as well as moving the National Women's Caucus closer to being an emerging new force on the national stage for women.

D'Arc served three terms on the Maine Green Independent Party Steering Committee, 2000-2006, four years as delegate to the Green Party of the United States, 2002-2006. In 2002 she was a candidate for the partisan elected office of Register of Deeds, Cumberland County, Maine, receiving 15%, 15,000 votes, the first Green to run for county office in the state.

D'Arc is very active in other political organizing. In 2004 she co-founded the Cumberland County Green Party in Maine and was elected chair in 2007. Cumberland County has the most elected Greens in a county in the country. She also serves as treasurer of the Green Party of Portland, Maine. She played a key role in Green voter registration in Maine which has the highest percent of registered Green voters per capita in the country.

D'Arc is employed as an issue educator, fundraiser and volunteer recruiter with a large, membership, citizen's action group, a leading force for universal single payer health care. Before that she was a chocolatier with a micro-business producing specialty products from Maine. She lives in the seacoast town of Portland Maine where she is slowly writing The Chocolate of Politics, a novel, which was also the title of a column she wrote for the first few issues of Green Horizon Quarterly.
