Our next big fight starts today.

  Hi friend, The fight for reproductive rights in Virginia is far from over — and with Donald Trump taking office in less than two months, the stakes have never been higher. Right now, we are the only state in the Southeast without an abortion ban or extreme restrictions. But that…

Looking ahead

  Hi friend, I’m as aghast as you are at the quality of appointments coming out from the Trump transition team. From Dr. Oz to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to a puppy's worst nightmare Kristi Noem, it’s becoming more and more important that we have strong Democrats at the state level to …
