Dear John,
On November 4, Virginia will elect its next governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and decide control of the state House of Delegates. The stakes are enormous. Virginia is the bellwether: what happens there will ricochet nationwide and shape the 2026 midterms. If Democrats win back the U.S. House, Trump’s grip on Congress collapses.
Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania, three Supreme Court justices—Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty, and David Wecht—who’ve protected reproductive rights, fair elections, and the state Equal Rights Amendment, face a retention election. Their names are on the back of the ballot. Unless voters are reminded to flip the ballot, we could lose—not because Pennsylvanians reject justice, but because they didn’t see the vote.
Vote for Equality, the political arm of the Feminist Majority, has 130 paid student organizers on 29 campuses in both states. Young women voters are overwhelmingly for equality and justice—but historically vote at lower rates. When we mobilize them, we can increase turnout by several points—enough to win close races.
But to expand this field force in the final weeks, we need emergency funds immediately. Every dollar now is turned into boots on the ground: students at polling places, handing out materials, reminding voters what’s at stake.
Your emergency donation is not symbolic. It’s decisive. It’s the difference between hope and loss.
👉 And you are one of the few who can help turn the tide. Your leadership now will ripple far beyond November.
