Team, when our movement helped Democrats win full control of Virginia’s state government for the first time in decades, we saw significant progress on issues like reproductive freedom, fair redistricting reform, voting rights and more.
But now, Virginia Republicans are working to turn back the clock:
Help defend voting rights nationwide: Donate to the NDRC >>
GOP Governor Glenn Youngkin just reinstated a lifetime ban on voting for anyone with a prior felony conviction. This is a Jim Crow-era policy that had a greatly disproportionate impact on voters of color – in fact, up until 2016, one in five Black Virginians were permanently disenfranchised.
A few years ago, the New York Times called Virginia “a voting rights bastion” under Democratic leadership. But under Republican leadership, Virginia is now home to one of the harshest voter disenfranchisement regimes in the country.
This isn’t just about one state, team. Republicans are working to roll back progress on fair maps and voting rights in states like North Carolina, and they’re working to impose new voting restrictions at the national level. Simply put, now is not the time to let our guard down.
When Attorney General Eric Holder warned us that “Now is not the time to take our democracy for granted,” this is what he was talking about. So please: Will you donate now to help the NDRC protect the gains we’ve made and continue fighting for fairness across the country?
