John, here are 3 reasons why the Virginia elections in less than three weeks are so important:
- Abortion. Virginia is the ONLY remaining state in the South where abortion remains accessible, and has become a safe haven for women across the region. Republicans are chomping at the bit to change that, and if they win a trifecta, they almost certainly will.
- LGBTQ youth mental health. Virginia Republicans have introduced 12 bills this year attacking the civil rights of trans people. Thankfully, they were blocked by the Democratic majority — but if Republicans flip the state Senate, they’ll have a trifecta, and these horrific bills will become law.
- Voting rights. Virginia always has razor-thin margins, particularly in presidential election years. 2024 will be no different, and Republicans are on a rampage to curb voting rights in the state and make it harder for folks to vote early.
For all these reasons and more, can you pitch in $3 today to help us support Democrats in Virginia and prevent Republicans from winning a trifecta? We only have a few weeks left:
