Women's Equality
The Women’s Equality Party is a New York political party active only in that state. It was founded in 2014. The party’s name came from the Women’s Equality Act, a bill that Cuomo was attempting to push through the New York State Legislature but stalled after he and the bill’s supporters demanded a clause codifying Roe v. Wade be included even as the Republican-led New York State Senate refused to include the clause (the Senate did pass the rest of the bill, but the rest of the legislature refused to consider the bill without the Roe clause).

Communist
The American Communist Party, officially known as the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), is a political organization in the United States that advocates for a socialist and eventually communist society. Founded in 1919, the party emerged from a split in the Socialist Party of America, driven by the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and the desire to establish a similar system in the United States. Over the years, the CPUSA has been involved in various labor struggles, civil rights movements, and anti-war protests, reflecting its commitment to social justice, workers' rights, and equality.

Transhumanist
The U.S. Transhumanist Party is focused on policy rather than politics as conventionally defined. We value initiatives and reforms that will improve the human condition for as many people as possible, with as much beneficial impact as possible – and without regard for scoring political points or defeating “the other side”. We seek to achieve the next, greatest era of our civilization, which will require constructive solutions to the problems of our current era. All of these problems can be solved if we look away from the political trench warfare of today and up toward a far brighter future.

Justice
The American Justice political party is not a widely recognized or established political entity within the United States political landscape, at least not at the level of major parties like the Democratic or Republican parties, or even among the more notable third parties such as the Libertarian or Green parties. However, the name suggests a focus on justice-related issues.
In the context of political movements or parties that might adopt a name like "American Justice," one could speculate that such a group would prioritize reforms and policies aimed at addressing perceived injustice… Read more
