One of our primary national electoral advisors, Simon Rosenberg, is still sounding the alarm re Virginia saying, "In terms of the early vote, we are not where we need to be."

And why does Virginia matter so much with all we are worried about and dealing with right now? It matters immensely because it is a bellwether battlefront in the GOP's relentless pursuit of outlawing reproductive freedom. The governor in VA, if the GOP wins enough legislative seats on November 7, has promised to enact an abortion ban. It will set the stage for the GOP to push for a federal ban in 2024. In the map below, you can see that if VA becomes a state where women can not get an abortion, the entire Southern region of our country will have been taken over by this extremist agenda that is not supported by the vast majority of the American people. Simon's interview on MSNBC with Joy Reid is worth a listen.

Simon's ask, which we echo, is to please consider one or both of these ways to help:

1) MAKE CALLS TO VA VOTERS with Sister District - Shifts taking place every day at multiple times.
2) DONATE WITH ONE CLICK to a roster of six VA candidates that Simon has endorsed.

Keep in mind, we cannot control the polls which always include a margin of error. We CAN control our margin of effort! And that will make all the difference! Let's do this!

Thank you for your commitment to action to protect our democracy and our freedoms.
