Friend, Virginia’s 2021 elections are the opening act for the 2022 midterms, and I need your help to make sure this key bellwether state stays blue. Recent polls continue to show a race that is neck and neck – and that means you and I have a real opportunity to make a big difference over the next ten days. With Democrats holding the narrowest of majorities in both houses of Congress, it’s critical that we head into the 2022 election season with a strong win in Virginia – and we need your help to do that. I hope you can join me for a virtual event on the Virginia race – including civil rights legend Dolores Huerta, who is a critical leader in getting out the VA vote – to talk about how people nationwide can help keep Virginia blue this year. A lot of people – even those in-state – don’t realize the serious risks to our country’s democracy in Virginia’s 2021 elections; that’s why we’re holding this important event. On Tuesday, October 26 at 1 PM ET / 12 PM CT / 10 AM PT, I’ll be hosting a conversation with Dolores Huerta, the Virginia House Majority Leader Charniele Herring, and People For’s political expert Kevin Harris on the Virginia elections. We’ll learn the most up-to-the minute details about the state of the race, what its impact truly will be nationwide, and actions that will be the most helpful to folks on the ground in-state. That last part is where you come in: turning out every progressive vote possible this year will be vital for turning back the extreme far-right tide of Trumpism that is flooding other state legislatures and our nation’s capital. Join me and a panel of experts to learn how you can defend a progressive Virginia this year! >> Tune in to this briefing so you can learn why Virginia’s election is key for our national progress and what you can do right away to help progressives win in this critical bellwether election. Thank you for all that you do, Ben Jealous, President
