Fairfax County Democratic Committee | Your Democratic Party in Fairfax County, VA

John:

In many of the articles following the recent general election, the headline went something like this: "Democrats retook full control of the Virginia General Assembly." Sounds pretty good! If you want the details about the meaning of "Democratic control" come to the Road to Richmond Brunch at 11:00 AM on Sunday, January 7, at the Westwood County Club in Vienna.

Save the Date: Fairfax County General Assembly Delegation’s Pre-2024 Session Public Hearing is Saturday, January 6, starting at 9:00 AM at the Fairfax County Government Center. The sign-up to speak is not yet available.

Network NoVA’s 2023 Holiday Season Wrap – What Matters!
Zoom

This year we lost a dear friend of the show Linda Hirshman (Legal scholar, cultural historian, and author). We will talk about her life and legacy and the 7-point playbook she outlined in her 2022 article, “The Fight for Democracy Will Be a Long, Long Haul” that has been a source of affirmation, reflection, and inspiration for our work.

Senator Mamie Locke (SD 23 and Senate Caucus Chair) will help shine a light on the fight for our rights in Virginia. She’ll talk about the first bills the Democrats have put forth for this upcoming legislative session, especially the constitution amendments on 1) reproductive freedom and 2) restoring voting rights to felons who have served their time.

Cody Conner (Activist Dad and TikTok Influencer) will talk about being compelled to speak out in support of his trans daughter at school board meetings and the importance of finding your voice and sharing your convictions online even if you are a reluctant TikToker.

Federico Cura (Northern Virginia activist) will speak about the role of moral sensibilities in messaging. He will discuss the need for “moral messaging” to engage voters.
