  The Green Party of Virginia is the electoral arm of the Green movement in Virginia. Recognized by the Virginia State Board of elections, the GPVA, made up of affiliated locals and at large members, is the only Green Party in Virginia accredited by the Green Party of the United States (GP-US). Hundreds of Greens belonging to the 46 State Parties accredited by the GP-US have been elected to public office, including several in Virginia.

Green locals are politically active in Virginia, where we have run campaigns throughout the state and continue to lobby for legislation which protects our environment, health, and the rights of people throughout our Commonwealth. Our members are active in many organizations which promote those causes. We welcome opportunities to advance our common goals, as outlined in our Ten Key Values , through organizing and through electoral campaigns.

We invite you to join the Green Party of Virginia in building a new political party and a movement dedicated to promoting: ecology, democracy, justice, community and peace.
