Our communities are stronger when every voice is heard. Thanks to the strides made with the Voting Rights Act of Virginia, voting is more accessible than ever in Virginia! Let’s continue to defend and expand these gains because you are shaping our future when you cast your vote.

Collaboration with mass deportations betrays our values, fractures public safety, and drives undocumented Virginians into hiding. We call on Governor Youngkin and every Virginia lawmaker to withdraw from 287(g) partnerships with ICE and to protect all of our communities.

Virginia deportations are up 350% since 2024, with nearly 3,000 Virginians arrested in the first 5 months of Trump’s presidency. 25% had no criminal record. 70% were longtime community members. 50% are parents of U.S. citizens. These aren’t just stats. They’re our neighbors.

Today, Rob Wittman, Jen Kiggans, John McGuire, Ben Cline, and Morgan Griffith chose fealty to Trump's MAGA agenda over Virginia's working families. We the people must hold them accountable and act to protect the vulnerable communities impacted by this terrible budget bill.

The Democratic ticket of statewide candidates kicked off their campaign together this weekend, and the only thing higher than the temperature is our enthusiasm for the most progressive slate of leaders ever nominated to lead Virginia! Catch them on their bus tour this week.

Republicans in the House have passed Trump's budget, which could have terrible implications for Virginia families if it is passed by the Senate. Cutting #Medicaid for millions of families so corporations can have trillions of dollars in tax cuts is unacceptable. #BigBeautifulBill

Virginia Republicans are busy killing policies that would bring relief to struggling families. Minimum wage, tenant protections, affordable housing, Paid Family and Medical Leave, and expanded health insurance coverage have all been vetoed by Gov. Glenn Youngkin.

Childhood poverty isn’t limited to any one corner of the Commonwealth. Children are facing shockingly high poverty rates in communities on the Eastern shore, in independent cities, and in rural communities. Hundreds of thousands of VA children are at risk from federal aid cuts.

"There are well-known precedents throughout Virginia’s history that demonstrate why mass hysteria about immigrants is destructive and how it does not contribute to the safety of Virginians." Read the full blog post by Progress Virginia's Kierra Johnson! progressva.org/bad-informatio…

Being transgender is a fundamental and deeply rooted part of who someone is and no amount of social pressure can "convert" a transgender person. That's why medical associations and doctors are standing up to defend evidence-based medical care for transgender youth.
