Join Monty to canvass voters

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.

The story of how she acknowledges her authentic self and the love and acceptance — and the discrimination — she encounters is riveting.
