Historic Triangle Dems September meeting
2024-09-19 19:00 - 20:00 | on Zoom and by phone, Williamsburg, VA, 23185, United States
This Thursday, Sept. 19
at 7 pm on ZOOM
Register here!
We’re all hearing a lot about Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation’s game plan for a Republican presidency next year. Trump says he doesn’t know anything about it — but we need to know all we can about what’s being planned if Trump is elected in November.
W&M assistant teaching professor Alan Kennedy will walk us through the plan at our ZOOM meeting Thursday at 7 pm. We’re meeting virtually so the most people possible can tune in — and because we don’t want to slow down all the organizing activity at our Dems HQ. Alan also serves on our Historic Triangle Dems executive board, and was part of Virginia’s delegation to the Democratic National Convention last month.
Don’t miss this chance to learn what’s in store under a Trump presidency!

March for the Vote: We won't go back!
2024-08-24 16:00 - 18:00 | Governor’s Palace Green, Duke of Gloucester St., Williamsburg, VA, 23185, United States
Our voting rights are under attack, and we won’t go back!
Join us as we commemorate the 104th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote in the United States on August 18, 1920. While this was a significant milestone, it would take another 45 years for the Civil Rights Act to dismantle state laws that hindered Black Americans from voting. We gather to celebrate this historic achievement and to recognize the ongoing efforts to ensure that every American has the right to vote.
The event will begin at 4:00 pm on the Palace Green in Colonial Williamsburg (200 Palace Green Street). From there, we will march down Duke of Gloucester Street to the Capitol, where local leaders will share inspirational messages. Please wear white to honor the suffragettes, bring your signs, and come ready to celebrate and advocate for the rights of all Americans!
Co-sponsored by Williamsburg Action and W&M Vox/Planned Parenthood.

Gun Sense Canvass for Monty Mason
Our own Senator Monty Mason is launching a canvass this Saturday, June 24, from our Dems HQ at 113K Palace Lane, Williamsburg. Gun violence prevention allies will be joining the canvass. Monty is in the most competitive race in Virginia this year, and we can’t afford to lose a single seat in the State Senate.
We all know how crucial this year’s election is — but of all the years in the election cycle, this is the one that traditionally has the worst turnout. What’s more, because of redistricting, many folks don’t even know who their candidates are.
That’s why it’s so important to get out and talk to voters at their doors.
Plan to join us, if you can. It’s a win-win for all of us.
