Dear friend,

Yesterday, Virginians took to the polls and took back their General Assembly -- flipping both the state Senate and the House of Delegates -- to a majority that supports reproductive freedom!

Together with NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia, we ran a multi-layered campaign in key districts to educate and turn out voters. Between digital ads and thousands of doors knocked and phones called, dedicated activists on the ground left no stone unturned in the fight for Virginia.

We're particularly proud of the candidates for General Assembly endorsed by the NIRH Action Fund who ran on bold platforms of supporting reproductive freedom and rejecting false claims and misinformation, like Delegate Hala Ayala (HD51), Delegate Elizabeth Guzman (HD31), Delegate Kathy Tran (HD42), and Senate Candidate Ghazala Hashmi (SD10)!

We didn't just pick the easy races - too much was at stake. We know that the vast majority of voters believe that abortion care should remain safe, legal and accessible, so all of us can control our own bodies, lives, and futures - in Virginia and beyond.

With your support, we can continue to work with candidates to make sure they have the best messaging possible -- messaging that is proactive and unapologetic on protecting access to abortion. Can you chip in to invest in leadership that won't compromise on our reproductive freedom?

With 2020 around the corner, we're thrilled to take what we've learned in Virginia - and other states where we've backed candidates who support reproductive freedom - to move proactive legislation. Virginia could become the next state to protect and advance abortion access -- let's do it together!

In solidarity,

Andrea Miller
President
NIRH Action Fund

PS: The wins didn't stop in Virginia! We're so excited to see that New York City voters supported the ballot measure to incorporate ranked choice voting into future elections, ushering in a new era of more equitable voting in primary and special elections!
