We’ve had huge victories for a welcoming, prosperous Virginia💪
Call 804-786-2211 & ask Gov. Spanberger to sign bills benefiting all Virginians into law. Together, we can build a Commonwealth where we are all safe from ICE terror & can feed our families even in times of hardship.
We know how overwhelming the moment is, and we will not back down. Our multilingual advocates are here.
