Join us at “the Sail the 2019 VA Blue Wave” party to support 2019 Democratic nominees in key vulnerable and flippable Delegate and State Senate districts. Help recruit more donors and donations so that we increase our funds by another $25,000 to a cumulative total of $75,000 by the end of July. These funds will improve prospects for the Virginia General Assembly to do a lot of good things on the issues that we care about.
Meet candidates and supporters, and weather permitting — take a ride on a pontoon boat, swim, kayak, or relax on a lake-side deck. Abundant libations and light appetizers. In addition to supporters, nominees and a staff person from each campaign in the 29 selected districts are invited.

#CloseTheCamps Protest
2019-07-02 15:00 - 17:00 | White House, 1600 Pennsylvannia Ave, Washington, DC
Children denied soap and toothbrushes, crowded into unsafe conditions. Separated from their families, subject to cruel treatment that leads to lasting traumas. And some dying in custody—or dying with parents as they cross the Rio Grande.
We’ve seen the images and heard the stories coming out of child detention centers. Horrifically, these conditions aren’t an accident. They are the byproduct of an intentional strategy by the Trump administration to terrorize immigrant communities and criminalize immigration—from imprisoning children in inhumane conditions to threatening widespread raids to break up families to covering up reports of immigrants dying in U.S. custody and abuses by ICE and CBP agents.
It’s going to take all of us to close the camps.

HRI Immigration Issues Committee Meeting
