Welcome
We are your local north-central Massachusetts Green-Rainbow Party connection, Nashua River Green-Rainbow, and we are at your service. Like all Greens around the world, we seek to create a world where all people have the tools to shape their own place in the world while respecting the Earth in the process. Our guiding Ten Key Values help us to reach this vision through activism, education, special events, and involvement in the political and social life in the community. From political office campaigns to activism, we are one of the most active locals in the state. Join us today!
The Green-Rainbow Party is the Massachusetts state affiliate of the United States Green Party. In less than a decade, the Green Party has taken its place in the national political arena as the most genuine political force in the United States, with local candidates being elected each cycle and moving up through the ranks to the state levels. You can be part of that force by joining us today. We are always looking for new members who share our vision and are ready to help make a better world.
Our main effort right now is to promote a buy local campaign. Local farms and food are the main focus.
