NOVA (Nationalist Organization for Vital Action) is a white supremacist organization, a splinter group of the now dissolved Nationalist Justice Party (NJP), operating throughout the United States. Virulently racist and antisemitic, NOVA currently operates a website and several social media channels under the handle “@novanow” and “@novanowusa,” these include Tiktok, Instagram, Twitter, and Telegram. The group has been active since 2023. The group has a history of co-opting natural disasters and tragic events for propaganda efforts, including the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, the murder of high school student Austin Metcalf, and flooding in Ohio. While operating in Ohio, NOVA members have been seen in the company of ONN (Ohio Nationalist Network):
The group encourages the creation of what they call “autonomous groups” that operate under the banner of white nationalism and recruits members to spread propaganda laced with bigotry via stickers, banners, and other forms of public display:
Among the conspiracies that NOVA propagates is the idea that Americans are recruited to fight and die in “Israel’s wars” and that the United States is under “Zionist occupation” (ZOG in short form – “Zionist Occupied Government”):
Key members of the NOVA network include:
