GET
INFORMED
We know it can be difficult to sort through all the noise when you’re trying to be informed about issues that matter most to our democracy. We will work in good faith to provide materials and resources for all voters to educate themselves before casting their votes or engaging with elected officials.
RANKed CHOICE VOTING
Also known as “instant runoff voting,” RCV has been gaining momentum in localities and states across America, including right here in Virginia. This is a simple way to ensure that our voting process is more representative of the electorate while also incentivizing candidates who build consensus.
RCV not only increases voter participation, but it rewards candidates who promote civility and consensus.
KEY FOCUS AREA
KEY FOCUS AREA
government
transparency
Virginia has virtually no rules about money in politics and minimal ethics guidelines, which is why voters need to step in and make progress through grassroots advocacy. We aim to work with partner organizations in Virginia to enhance educational work already being done to stem the tide of special interest influence in Virginia’s politics.
KEY FOCUS AREA
CIVIC
engagement
From information about voter registration and finding your polling place to early voting options, and identifying your elected representatives, we believe that civic engagement should be for everyone.
KEY FOCUS AREA
REDISTRICTING
In the organization’s previous iteration, thousands of grassroots volunteers successfully campaigned to end single-party control of redistricting, establishing what experts agree are some of the fairest legislative maps in America.
But the work of the inaugural Virginia Redistricting Commission was marred by partisan infighting, and there is clearly more work to be done to work towards a fully independent process in advance of the next redistricting cycle.
