The Northern Virginia Green Party is a progressive political
party and movement. We seek to attain economic, environmental and social justice
for the citizens and residents of Northern Virginia. At the core of our beliefs
are the Four Pillars and the Ten
Key Values of the Greens. We are an affiliated local of the Green
Party of Virginia and the Green Party of the U.S. The NOVA Greens offer a
progressive, grassroots-based alternative to the two major corporate dominated
parties.
