Join us to hear inspiring speakers, connect with community organizations, learn about the candidates and Virginia’s Constitutional Amendments on the 2026 ballot, and attend voter registration training. You’ll also learn how to talk with your neighbors about voting!
Speakers will offer words of wisdom and inspiration to get us motivated to register voters, talk to our neighbors about voting, and activate our community to fight back against efforts to limit the ability of citizens to participate in our democratic system. Learn about the issues of marriage equality, abortion rights, and rights restoration – all subjects of Constitutional amendments on the November ballot – from folks who are directly affected.
