Dear friend,
2020 is already off to a momentous start, with Democrats fully in control of our state government for the first time in decades. And we didn’t waste any time getting to work. Already in the first month of session we’ve accomplished some pretty big things:
-
We ratified the Equal Rights Amendment, becoming the crucial 38th state to pass the amendment
-
New bills to expand voting rights and make it easier than ever for Virginians to vote are advancing quickly
-
Crucial gun safety legislation is passing both the House of Delegates and Senate
-
Bills to expand LGBTQ equality have already passed the Senate
Your support has made this Democratic majority and everything we’re accomplishing possible. Can you help us meet our January fundraising goal of $20,000 so we have the resources we need to keep electing Democrats throughout the Commonwealth?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

But even though we’re on our way to a momentous legislative session, Republicans in the General Assembly are doing everything they can to stand in the way of progress. Session lasts just 60 days and the more they can jam up the process, the less we can get done. We still have a lot more on our agenda:
-
Raising Virginia’s minimum wage above $7.25/hour (currently among the lowest in the country)
-
Passing vital legislation to address climate change and preserve our environment
-
Expanding reproductive rights
-
Making health care more affordable
-
And so much more!
A successful 2020 election year starts by showing Virginians how much we can accomplish when Democrats are in charge. And if we want to keep the momentum going, we have to meet our first fundraising goal of the year: raising $20,000 by the end of the month.
We don’t have much time left, and we need to show everyone in the General Assembly that Virginians stand on the side of progress and oppose Republican obstructionism. Can you contribute to make sure Democrats have the support they need for a successful 2020 session?
Thank you,
Team DPVA
