[alerts@pfaw.org] has the perfect volunteer opportunity you can do from your
couch. Help Get out the Vote in Virginia this year by signing up to write
letters to voters! The upcoming statewide election in Virginia is likely to
have major implications for the national midterms that are right around the
corner. Often viewed as a bellwether to the national political climate,
Virginia has been crucial in proving the popularity of progressive policies and
the national shift towards a more progressive electorate. This year, the Republican candidate for
governor is a Trump idolizer, who despite his seemingly moderate campaign
pledges, has proven to be really nothing more than a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Someone who would advocate for a far-right and regressive agenda if elected -
such as his opposition to gun safety reforms, opposition to common-sense COVID
safety measures, and more.
Voter turnout is going to be crucial in the Virginia election and People For is proud to once again be partnering with our friends at Vote Forward for a unique letter-writing Get Out the Vote campaign. Sign up now at https://votefwd.org/pfaw to participate in the campaign through September 18! Send a personal letter encouraging them to vote in the election!
