The stakes are too high. We must do everything we can to keep our country moving forward, not backward, on reproductive rights. Virginia has made incredible strides for reproductive rights over the last few years, but that can be reversed if anti-reproductive health officials take back power. This election is critical to preserving the progress and continuing forward in the pursuit of accessible healthcare for all. That’s why we’ll be working overtime to make sure people and their families know what’s at stake for reproductive rights.
Your voice matters. Your vote matters. Elections matter.

Support LGBTQIA+ Students at Fairfax School Board Thursday

Hosted by the Fairfax County Democratric Committee.
High alert! Stand up for LGBTQIA+ students at Fairfax County School Board Thursday! Plan on coming at 5:45 or earlier for parking, and if we need to go in early to get a seat. There’s a Supporting Schools Rally at 6 in front. For some reason a very odd anti-teacher group in Loudoun called P.A.C.T. (Parents Against CRT) is coming to our Fairfax school board at 6 p.m. that evening, maybe to fill our auditorium. We should strive to be there first. What in the world is this Loudoun group coming to Fairfax for? We should strive to be early, and not interact. First in-person school board meeting in two years, so it is crucial for our community and allies to have a real presence.
