On July 26, 2021, the Georgia Green Party was removed from the federation of the Green Party US by the National Committee of the Green Party US for passing amendments in the state Party manifesto that the Green Party US's Accreditation Committee said violated the Green Party's values, specifically against transgender and sexual minority rights. The Georgia Green Party passed amendments without first having a vote through Party members that restricted the rights of transgender and gender non-conforming people, such as supporting
bathroom bills and a ban on transgender people in sporting events. A complaint was filed by the Lavender Caucus (the LGBTQ+ Caucus) in November 2020. On July 26, 2021, the National Committee of the Green Party of the United States voted with an 88% majority to remove the Georgia Green Party.

Among the documents available on this site is the Report of the Minority of the Accreditation Committee With respect to the Committee’s referral of the Complaint of the National Lavender Green Caucus Seeking the Revocation of Accreditation for the Georgia Green Party. The current version of the Georgia Green Party's Platform includes measures related to gender-based rights and sex-based rights.
