The Cascadia Bioregional Party (BCP) is a secessionist, bioregional political party which seeks greater independence and autonomy for the Cascadian Bioregion, including the American states of Idaho, Oregon and Washington, and the Canadian province of British Columbia. It currently has no elected representatives at any level of US and Canadian politics, and is currently awaiting registration as a 527 with the IRS.
The party was originally formed in late 2020, and officially registered with the IRS on May 18, 2021.[1]
The Cascadia Bioregional Party is a part of the Cascadia independence movement and follows in the footsteps of the Cascadia Independence Party, a brief attempt at a pro-secession political party that formed in 2014 [2] The movement continued to gain steam in 2016 with the election of Donald Trump in the United States, leading to a "Cascadia Citizens Assembly", and new organizations such as CascadiaNow! and Yes Cascadia.[3] This energy continued to build and led to the creation of a Cascadia Election Response network geared towards direct action training if there had been issues with the 2020 United States election. More than 1,200 people signed up.[4] These organizers then launched the website for the Cascadia Bioregional Party in late 2020, before officially registering in 2021. They were mentioned in a New York Times opinion podcast focused on a potential split of the United States in the event of a Trump victory.[5]
