Current Campaigns

Virginia Primaries

Virginia's Primaries are on June 20. Early voting started on May 5th and runs through June 17th.

Virginia will be having its first election where candidates will be running in the new districts from redistricting. Many voters will not be aware that they are in a new district or that there may be two incumbents running for election.

Join us as we postcard and phonebank for races across the Commonwealth from Northern Virginia to Hampton Roads in districts where we want to ensure that BIPOC voters understand the candidate choices available to them.
