What Greens are about

Some ideas consistent with the Ten Key Values.

Hampton Roads Green Party Condemns Chesapeake School Board Calls for Local School Districts to Pass Trans Model Policy

The Hampton Roads Green Party (HRGP) condemns the refusal of the Chesapeake School Board to implement a policy that would protect trans students in Chesapeake Schools. Students need to know that they are in a safe learning environment where they can focus on their schoolwork without the worries of being humiliated or discriminated against.

Green Party of Virginia Supports Striking Nabisco Workers Calls for Legislative Action to Support Workers

The Green Party of Virginia (GPVA) stands with Nabisco workers across the country who are striking from poor pandemic working conditions, including workers in Henrico County. Despite record profits during the pandemic and a CEO pay that is 561 times the median worker salary, Nabisco workers have been subjected to 7-day work weeks, 16-hour work days, changes to overtime pay that have costed some workers $10,000 in annual wages, and a new healthcare plan that will cost workers more.

Green Party of Virginia Opposes Del-Mar Fracked Gas Pipeline Expansion Stands in Solidarity with Maryland Green Party

The Green Party of Virginia (GPVA) stands in solidarity with our comrades and allies in Maryland who are resisting the Del-Mar fracked gas pipeline being constructed along the Delmarva Peninsula. If this pipeline is completed it would further entrench our reliance on fossil fuels, and increases risks of environmental damage to Virginians on the Eastern Shore.

Green Party of Virginia Calls for Immediate Legalization of Marijuana Possession and Use Calls on Members to Lobby General Assembly

The Green Party of Virginia (GPVA) calls on the General Assembly to approve Governor Ralph Northam's proposed amendment to the marijuana legalization bills passed that would move up the schedule for legalization of possession and use of marijuana from January 1, 2024 to July 1, 2021. We call on members of the GPVA to contact their members of the General Assembly and demand approval of this amendment, prior to the session on April 7th when they will consider the Governor's proposed amendments to bills.

GPVA Condemns Atlanta Spa Shootings Calls for Systemic Changes to End Anti-Asian Xenophobia

On March 16th, 2021, our nation was rocked once again by another mass shooting, this time targeted against Asian women in the Atlanta Metro Area. This horrendous act of violence that resulted in the deaths of 8 individuals, 6 of whom were Asian women, characterizes America’s underlying problems of racism and sexism, as well as the resurgence of anti-Asian sentiments that have accompanied the COVID-19 pandemic.

GPVA Condemns Poison Pill Provisions of H.R. 1 Calls for an End to Party Suppression

The Green Party of Virginia condemns multiple provisions of the recently introduced H.R.1, otherwise known as the For the People Act, which undermines third parties. The bill, while purporting to expand democracy, includes changes to rules governing the public financing of campaigns that are aimed squarely at limiting the participation of third parties.

The Green Party of Virginia endorses and publicly supports the Virginia Defenders for Freedom, Justice & Equality Day After Action Demonstration

The Green Party of Virginia endorses and publicly supports the Virginia Defenders for Freedom, Justice & Equality Day After Action Demonstration as stated here by the Defenders:

As part of the global antiwar and anti-imperialist movement, the Antiwar Committee of the Virginia Defenders for Freedom, Justice & Equality is calling on activists in Virginia to prepare for emergency “day-after” protests in the event of a U.S. or U.S.-ordered military attack on Iran or any other country.

Green Party of Virginia Condemns Violence At Capitol Building; Calls For Election Reforms To Restore Trust

The Green Party of Virginia (GPVA) condemns the violence that erupted at the Capitol Building today from protestors seeking to overturn the results of the Nov 3rd Presidential election. Nonviolent civil disobedience has formed an important part of many struggles for justice over the years, but violence cannot be allowed to recklessly and egregiously endanger others expressing their first amendment rights nor those being protested.
