2019-08-20 14:30 - 16:30 (America/New_York) | Sunset Hills Montessori School, 11190 Ridge Road, Reston , VA, United States
HRI General Meeting hosts Del. John Bell for Senate in SD13, Del. Hala Ayala (HD51), Del. Wendy Gooditis (HD10), Dan Helmer for Delegate in HD40 & Linda Sperling for Springfield District Supervisor.
HRI is pleased to host VA candidates in races of particular interest to us. In order for us to see legislation passed we support, we will be focused on flipping the VA House & Senate in November. To do that, we need to take 2 seats in the House and the Senate while maintaining our current legislators. Come hear from the candidates who will be critical in meeting this goal.
2019 is the year of the Local Elections. Linda Sperling, who hosted our Hunter Mill Candidate Supervisor Forum, will be back and updating us on her run for Springfield District Supervisor against Pat Herrity.
Join us, come prepared with questions for the candidates and find out how to get involved.

Kremlin Annex Protest
2019-08-17 15:30 - 17:00 | White House, 1600 Pennsylvannia Ave, Washington, DC
Putin’s Russian Asset, Donald Trump, is a danger to our nation. As Americans, we must speak out. Since Trump’s return from his Treasonous summit and secretive meeting with Putin in Helsinki, we have made it our mission to protest the occupant of our White House week by week, rain or shine. We are standing up for democracy and national security, while combating Trump’s attempts to normalize his influence peddling for America’s greatest enemy.
​We have organized thought leaders, activists, artists, celebrities, and other patriots to assemble outside our White House of the United States so that the Traitor-in-Chief knows we won’t stand for his dangerous policies and behavior, and ongoing assault on our government and fellow citizens.
​Join #KremlinAnnex on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM in Lafayette Park in Washington, D.C.
​If you can’t make it to the nation’s capital, let us know how you’re organizing against the Russian Asset in your own community and we’ll help spread the word.

Rally to End ICE Raids
2019-08-16 08:00 - 09:00 | US Customs and Immigration Enforcement, 500 12th St SW, Washington, DC
WHAT: This past week, hundreds of hard-working immigrants in Mississippi, many with no criminal history, were arrested by ICE in the largest work-site raid in US history. Their detention left many children without one or both of their parents and many left terrified having to rely on neighbors or strangers for food and shelter. While immigrant families were devastated at the separation of beloved family members, their employer was allowed to remain free, the same employer who paid $3.75 million to settle an Equal Employment Opportunities Commission class-action suit charging the company with sexual harassment, national origin and race discrimination, and retaliation against Latino workers at one of his Mississippi plants. While the current administration has actively sought to hunt down, detain and deport as many immigrants of color as possible, many worker rights advocates also believe that this and similar raids are part of an effort to silence vulnerable immigrant workers who might seek to challenge unsafe or discriminatory working conditions.
This cannot be allowed to stand. Come out and demand an end to immigration raids, detentions and deportations that separate families and terrorize children many of whom are US citizens. Tell the Deportment of Homeland Security and the Trump administration that America is a county of immigrants and we will stand with them until attacks on their families and communities ends.
WHEN: Friday, August 16, 2019 from 12pm to 1pm
WHERE 500 12th St SW, Washington, DC 20536 – Headquarters of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
For information, please contact us at vacolao@gmail.com or call us at 703-720-5604.
