PFAW Member,

One of our top state senate targets in the elections happening right
now in Virginia just used her Facebook page to blame rape victims and
survivors for being "naive and unprepared."

Far-right Republican State Senator Amanda Chase, who has ranted against
"evil" liberals and accuses Democrats of supporting "the murder of
innocent babies," just reached a new low (even for her), responding to a
comment on her Facebook page with the statement, “It’s those who are naive
and unprepared that end [up] raped.”

PFAW's working to flip Chase's seat from red to blue. 

[ [link removed] ]Can you chip in now to elect Chase's Democratic opponent, PFAW-endorsed
progressive Amanda Pohl, and help PFAW turn this critical state blue?>>

This is one of only TWO seats we need to flip to switch majority control
of the state senate from Republican to Democrat.

Republican Senator Amanda Chase is a pro-gun, anti-choice extremist. She's
one of the state legislature's most vocal opponents of the Equal Rights
Amendment – which only needs one state to be ratified. And Virginia is the
most likely state if we can elect Democratic majorities! But despite her
opposition to the actual rights of women's, Sen. Chase made headlines
recently over a dispute over a parking space, berating capitol police for
violating women's rights when they did not let her park in a restricted
spot in addition to accusing them of being "democrat operatives."

Our early-endorsed candidate in this state Senate district,
Democrat Amanda Pohl, won her primary and now we're fighting for her in
the general to unseat right-wing survivor-blaming Sen. Chase!

Amanda Pohl is one of the amazing young progressive candidates we're
supporting with our Next Up Victory Fund and her victory this year will be
instrumental in turning Virginia blue, stopping extreme Republican
gerrymandering in this vital swing state, and kickstarting a national blue
wave for 2020!!!

AND the Republican incumbent she's running to unseat is a Radical Right
extremist!

[ [link removed] ]Please rush a donation right now to flip this seat, elect Amanda
Pohl, and help PFAW elect more progressives like her!>>

Thank you for stepping up to build progressive power at the state level –
something that's even more urgent now that the Trump-McConnell Supreme
Court just gave a green light to partisan gerrymandering.

And thank you for ALL you do.

-- Lizet Ocampo, Political Director
