Virginia families are feeling the weight of high costs — but this week’s 2027 priorities from Governor Spanberger and Democrat leadership offered little immediate relief.

We have three practical ways the General Assembly and Governor can help families thrive without raising taxes:

1. Reduce the tax burden
Pause the state gas tax. Finally eliminate the sales and use tax on essential food and hygiene products. Create meaningful tax credits for newborns and adopting families. Families keep more of what they earn — and they thrive.

2. Lower power bills
Exit RGGI and stop pursuing costly “clean energy” gimmicks that drive up rates. Virginia families are already feeling the pressure on their electric bills. Let’s prioritize affordability.

3. Expand real education opportunities
Parents know what works best for their children. Expand access through open enrollment, scholarship funds for after-school programs, and scholarship tax credits for private options. Focus on students’ needs — not ideologies.

When we prioritize families over more spending and regulation, the Commonwealth flourishes.

Which of these would help your family most right now?

When the original Marriage Amendment passed two decades ago, it was done according to law.

The repeal process was not.

FFLC is taking that procedural failure to court.

[The Family Foundation of Virginia @TFFVA]

Join us for a Day of Prayer on November 22 as the courts hear the case.

Pray for Judge Hurley — wisdom, courage, and a steadfast commitment to truth and justice.

Pray for the attorneys — clarity of mind, precision in every argument, and every fact brought to light.

Pray that the truth is undeniable — that the deceptive nature of the ballot is plain for all to see, and light overcomes confusion.

“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” — James 5:16

A plain reading of ballot question 1 would never reveal that the amendment could allow any person—licensed or not—to perform abortions while limiting the state’s ability to penalize them.

FFLC is challenging the deceptive ballot language on November 24.

[The Family Foundation of Virginia @TFFVA]

The ballot never told voters that Amendment 2 inserts “gender” into Virginia’s constitutional marriage language while removing the explicit clergy-protection provision that was in the introduced bill.

That is one reason FFLC is in court over Amendment 2.

Don’t give up on Gen Z.

In this episode of Speak Up Virginia, we dig into what’s really shaping young men right now—why so many swung left in the last election, the frustration behind the Anakin Skywalker memes, the housing and family pressures they’re facing, and why so many are actually more open to the gospel than the generation before them.

From the power of family formation to the lasting impact of Charlie Kirk, this conversation offers a clear-eyed, hopeful look at the next generation.

If the headlines have left you discouraged, this one’s for you.

Listen now and share it with someone who needs the reminder.

Today we honor those who left their families behind to defend ours.

Veterans sacrificed time with spouses and children so we could raise our own in freedom and safety. Their service protected the right to build a home, teach our kids what we believe, and live by the values that make families strong.

Grateful for every veteran—and for the families who sacrificed alongside them.

[The Family Foundation of Virginia @TFFVA]

Voters never saw language on the ballot explaining that Amendment 1 would terminate or severely limit the state’s ability to set safety standards for the performance of abortions.

Founding Freedoms Law Center is challenging this language in court on November 24.

[The Family Foundation of Virginia @TFFVA]

The original version of Amendment 2 included language protecting clergy and religious organizations from being forced to perform marriages.

That language was removed before the final version.

Founding Freedoms Law Center is challenging the process on behalf of a pastor.

[The Family Foundation of Virginia @TFFVA]

The ballot language on Amendment 1 was written to sound limited and protective. The actual amendment text creates a fundamental right that cannot be infringed except under strict scrutiny. That is why FFLC is seeking a preliminary injunction on November 24.

URGENT UPDATE

Hearing on Challenge to Abortion Amendment Rescheduled to November 24!

The Tazewell Circuit Court has rescheduled the hearing in the legal challenge to Ballot Question 1, the abortion amendment, to November 24. The hearing had been set for November 13 and was moved because of an unavoidable conflict on the judge’s schedule.

Nothing else about the case has changed. Judge Hurley will hear arguments on all legal issues, and the Founding Freedoms Law Center (FFLC) will seek a preliminary injunction preventing certification of the results.

KEEP PRAYING!

[The Family Foundation of Virginia @TFFVA]

Virginia law required the full amendment text to be posted at courthouses months before the 2025 election so voters could see what they were really being asked to approve.

That step was not properly completed.

That is why FFLC is seeking a preliminary injunction on November 24 to prevent certification of the results.

[The Family Foundation of Virginia @TFFVA]

Legislators knew exactly what they were doing.

Amendment 2 carefully limits marriage to “two adults.”

Amendment 1 gives the fundamental right to reproductive freedom—including abortion—to every “individual,” with zero age limit.

They chose “adults” when they wanted to restrict it. They chose “individual” when they wanted to hide the fact that it covers minors and ends parental consent.

That’s not an accident. That’s the point. And that’s exactly why Founding Freedoms Law Center is taking them to court over the misleading ballot language.

"It's no surprise when same-sex marriage has been the functional reality in Virginia since 2015 that 57 percent would acknowledge that reality. Some people think if something's the law, it's acceptable. That's not everyone's standard." -Victoria Cobb

You left it all on the field fighting for life, parents’ rights, and marriage. Even though the amendments passed, your faithfulness still mattered. Hearts were changed. Seeds were planted. The fight continues—stronger because of you.

Thank you.

[The Family Foundation of Virginia @TFFVA]

Voters were told the amendment would “protect” personal decisions and allow third-trimester restrictions.

They were not told it creates an essentially unlimited fundamental right that would let unlicensed people perform abortions, end parental notification requirements, and restrict the state’s ability to regulate assisted reproduction.

Pray for the Founding Freedoms Law Center as they go to court against the certification of Amendment 1 on November 24.

[The Family Foundation of Virginia @TFFVA]

The ballot question never mentioned a “fundamental right to reproductive freedom.”

It also never told voters the amendment would end parental consent for minors seeking abortions or sterilizations and severely limit the state’s ability to enforce statutory rape laws.

That is why FFLC is in Court on November 24 seeking to block certification of Question 1.

Gov. Spanberger’s office is refusing to release any records from a FOIA request on the quiet decision to abandon rules keeping males out of girls’ sports.

Today, Virginians voted to pass Ballot Questions 1 and 2—two amendments that rewrite our Constitution on the most fundamental issues of life and family.

Leftists have moved to enshrine unlimited abortion into the Virginia Constitution (Question 1), denying the God-given right to life and parental rights. At the same time, Question 2 removes the definition of marriage as one man and one woman and writes “sex” and “gender” as separate categories into our highest law. The Family Foundation has warned that these changes open the door to abortion up to birth with fewer safeguards, erase parental consent for minors, weaken protections for women and girls, and embed gender ideology that threatens girls’ sports, private spaces, schools, and religious freedom.

The fight for those rights now goes to the courts—and beyond.

But this is not the end. Truth does not change with a vote. Every child is still fearfully and wonderfully made. Marriage still matters. Parental rights still matter. And families are still worth defending.

We will keep fighting for life.
We will keep fighting for marriage.
We will keep fighting for families.

Stand with us. Stay engaged. The work continues.
