Happy #WomensEqualityDay! In 1920 #OTD, the 19th Amendment was certified, prohibiting voter discrimination on the basis of sex. However, getting the 19th was not easy.

Federal education funding is just 14% of the total, but losing it would devastate schools. Imagine 1 in 10 teachers gone, leaving kids w/o support. Even Bush’s No Child Left Behind Act recognized its importance. Education isn’t partisan-it’s our future. npr.org/2025/03/19/nx-…

NPR receives $2-3M/year in federal funding. PBS receives $80-85M. The military-themed birthday parade Trump is throwing himself will cost taxpayers $92M. We’re told cutting news and kids programming to fund an authoritarian birthday bash somehow “makes America great again”

The Dem LG Primary is the perfect case for #rankedchoicevoting. 6 candidates from across the Commonwealth w/ shared values and similar approaches to issues, RCV would help voters more than ever. Try it out! rcv123.org/ballot/1/GXcRF…

As Virginia heads into another election season (every year for us!), it's time to take a hard look at our local elections, where crowded fields often lead to winners with nowhere near the majority of voters' support. upvoteva.org/blog/tell-your…
