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."

People for the American Way


PFAW Member,

Far-right Virginia state Senator Amanda Chase, who has ranted against "evil" liberals and accuses Democrats of supporting "the murder of innocent babies," seems like she must be on a mission to offend as many people as possible...

Last month, Chase blamed rape-survivors for their assualts, saying, “It’s those who are naive and unprepared that end [up] raped.”

Most recently, on the day of the mass shooting in El Paso, she blamed the massacre on "gun free zones."

PFAW's working to flip Chase's seat from red to blue in the elections happening in Virginia RIGHT NOW -- one of only TWO seats we need to flip to switch majority control of this crucial battleground state's Senate to the Democrats!

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

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."

But our endorsed candidate Amanda Pohl is one of the amazing young progressives 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!!!

By helping to elect Amanda Pohl, you'll be making such an undeniable impact! And that includes getting rid of a dangerous Radical Right extremist!!

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.

-- PFAW's Political Team

Radical Right extremists are trying to turn back the clock on a century of advances in civil rights, women’s rights, workers’ rights, the social safety net and more… With Donald Trump in the White House, they’re waging an all-out assault on the fundamental pillars of our country – democracy, checks and balances, a fair and independent judicial branch, and core values like fairness, equality, and justice for all.

PFAW is fighting back every day with:

✔ Grassroots organizing
✔ Lobbying and advocacy
✔ Research and education
✔ Voter mobilization
✔ And more…

But we can’t do this vital work without the robust grassroots financial support of our members and activists.

Please help fund the fight for progress and stand against right-wing extremism with an urgently needed donation to PFAW today>>
