Final Push For Virginia
“With Youngkin’s victory [in 2022], and if the Republicans achieve what they are setting out to do this year, I think all bets are off for 2024.”
Mark Rozell
Dean of the Schar School of Policy and Government
at George Mason University
“This race is first and foremost about abortion. If it hadn’t been for the Democratic blue brick wall in the state senate the last two years, abortion would be banned in Virginia.”
Susan Swecker, Chair of the Virginia Democratic Party

Power Hour Actions This Sunday from 3 to 5 PM
Sign up and see what a difference an hour makes.
Help Recruit Poll Observers for Critical Areas
Recruit poll observers for important localities where coverage is very, very low: Petersburg and Suffolk. According to the VA Dems Voter Protection Team, “these races could tip the balance of the legislature.” Our call list is 1,800 HIGHLY committed Democrats, with 95-100 support scores.
Center for Common Ground/Reclaim Our Vote
We are calling voters of color in specific counties to give them the information they need to vote early or vote on Election Day. We are not making calls for candidates, but we will be getting out the vote in a toss-up district whose candidate is endorsed by Sister District, Climate Cabinet, and Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia.
If you haven’t made these calls and want a refresher,
arrive at PowerHour at 2:30 PM.
We’ll show you the ropes.
October Beneficary
Voting has started in Virginia. We’re supporting two community organizations that are working to get Democratic Voters to the polls.
Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia:
Lean Left Vermont is again supporting PPAV’s excellent door-knocking program–the most effective tool to make sure Pro-choice voters understand the stakes of this election and make their voices heard.
CASA in Action
With more than 122K members, CASA in Action is the foremost Latino and immigrant organization in the mid-Atlantic region and a national leader. CASA is focused on building power for its community through political organization and electoral mobilization. Our resources will help their outreach to make sure their members get to the polls!
Lean Left Vermont builds a stronger, more just democracy by empowering Vermont activists to work on behalf of voters in other states. We promote meaningful, sustained actions that focus on supporting and protecting the vote and building democratic power at the local, state, and federal levels.
