We had a full house at this year’s Grassroots Gathering. Leaders and supporters from all parts of Virginia came together to make change for the better in our state. Members of affected communities held important conversations about how to dismantle racism. We talked about the school-to-prison pipeline and racial profiling. We heard from members who fear deportations about the ICE raids on their communities. We planned ways to protect our homes, farms, and towns from pollution and flooding, fracking and pipelines. We also had a great time getting to know each other!

If you were there, you know what a powerful experience it was. If you weren’t able to join us, we hope you will next year. We keep moving forward, building power, and winning campaigns, because of you.

Thank you for your support,

Del McWhorter
