Virginia Civic Engagement Table

?? Mark Your Calendar: Giving Tuesday is December 3rd! We need YOU to help us protect democracy and empower communities in Virginia. #GivingTuesday #EngageVA GIVE NOW: https://lnkd.in/gjPy4DRQ

Let’s make our voices heard, Virginia! Both Democratic and Republican governors have chosen to restore voting rights to thousands of citizens; however, Virginia's current governor has reversed the trend. People should not be permanently defined by their past mistakes. Virginians who have successfully served their time should be able to fully rejoin civic life. It is time for Virginians to act to amend our Constitution to create a routine restoration process that reflects fair accountability and encourages civic engagement. We need individuals to show up in Richmond to the House Privileges and Elections Hearing on November 13, 2024, General Assembly Building Room 206, for their 11am hearing in support of Constitutional Amendment HJ2.

If you're in line, stay in line! You still have the right to vote!

Virginia is using 100% paper ballots only for the 2024 Presidential Elections.

It’s Election Day, Virginia! Make your voice heard—polls are open until 7 PM. Grab a friend, head to the polls, and be part of shaping our future. #VoteToday #ElectionDayVA

Governor Youngkin’s Executive Order 35 removed over 1,600 eligible Virginians from voter rolls, threatening their right to vote. This decision undermines democracy just days before the election.

Every contribution helps us reach impacted voters, educate them on their rights, and ensure their voices are heard on Election Day. #35against35 #ProtectVotingRights GIVE NOW: https://lnkd.in/exeFhuV3

VCET is deeply disappointed by the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to allow Virginia to remove thousands of eligible people from its voter rolls. Removing voters from the rolls in the week before the election based on lies about citizenship and voting is nothing more than intimidation. We believe this is a step backward for fair and inclusive democratic participation in Virginia and stand to defend every eligible voter’s freedom to vote without fear or obstruction.
