{{Main|The Green Path of Hope}}

Mousavi and other reformist leaders are now working in peaceful and legal methods to widen the influence of their reforms. They have set up a new coalition named "The Green Path of Hope". Iranian political parties and movements need to be authorized by the [[Ministry of Interior (Iran)|Interior Ministry]]. Mousavi neither recognizes the current government as legitimate nor is likely to receive permission; so, the movement was named a "path" in order to bypass this law.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.gooya.com/politics/archives/2009/08/092369.php |title=زييات "راه سبز اميد" از زبان عليرضا بهشتی: خاتمی و کروبی عضو شورای مرکزی |publisher=Gooya News |access-date=11 August 2010}}</ref>

The Green Path of Hope claims it seeks to continue protests against Ahmadinejad's presidency following lawful and peaceful methods, and the full execution of the constitution, as Mousavi says:<blockquote>"You can't follow some parts of the constitution and throw the rest into a bin."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.parlemannews.ir/index.aspx?n=2694 |title=د می‌کنیم تا حقوق مردم را استیفا کنیم/ |publisher=Parlemann News |access-date=11 August 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100720180530/http://www.parlemannews.ir/index.aspx?n=2694 |archive-date=20 July 2010 }}</ref> </blockquote>According to organization officials, the movement encompasses numerous political parties, NGO's and social networks. The "Green Path" has six main members of the central council, who are connected to reformist parties, NGOs, and social networks. The main body consists of ordinary protesters. The strategy is to connect existent pressures and issues in society in a social network, and to therefore lead protests in a lawful manner. The goals of the organization are stated as follows:<blockquote>"During the election, our mottos supported and remained in the framework of the constitution; today we are devoted to those slogans. We believe that if the people's demands were treated fairly, instead of being distorted by the media and linked to foreigners, and the government promoted truth by fair criticism, our mottos could satisfy the public."<ref>{{Cite web |date=2010-07-23 |title=Green path of hope, Mousavi's new organization |url=http://www.ilna.ir/fullStory.aspx?ID=71086 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100723080421/http://www.ilna.ir/fullStory.aspx?ID=71086 |archive-date=23 July 2010 |access-date=2022-05-05 |website=Iranian Labour News Agency }}</ref></blockquote>
