Join us Saturday, June 10, from 3 to 5 pm, as we gather in Jen Tierney's lovely garden at 2824 Linden Lane for our second annual Gay Pride get-together. It's more important than ever that we gather in support of human rights -- to let people be who they are, without fear of reprisal or discrimination. We'll have fried chicken and all the fixings, homemade desserts, trivia and crafts for kids of all ages. Tickets are free but sponsorships are welcome. We hope to see you there.

Fundraiser to Re-Elect Senator Monty Mason from 4:30 to 6:30 pm with special guest Sen. Mark Warner at Hound's Tale Kitchen, 501 Prince George St, Williamsburg. Donate and RSVP here.

Join Ford's Colony friends and neighbors to hear from candidates Jessica Anderson for House of Delegates and Pamela Garner for State Senate. Food and beverages available for purchase.

Join us for an IN-PERSON meeting this Thursday, the first in-person meeting we've had since the pandemic. We'll be talking about campaigns from the General Assembly to boards of supervisors and school boards. We can't wait to see you! Please bring a snack or a drink to share if you can. We will be meeting in person in July as well, this time in York County. Details will follow soon!

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.
