Lead Locally is getting out the vote in VA to strengthen the state legislature’s slim Democratic majority and take back the Governor’s mansion. Volunteer with us!

As the first purple state to hold major elections since November 2024, Virginia will be a litmus test for the Trump administration’s agenda. This is a critical opportunity to beat MAGA Republicans at the ballot box and show the rising opposition to Trump’s authoritarian agenda. With a pro-climate, Democratic trifecta, Virginia can pass clean energy legislation and halt the buildout of fossil fuel-intensive data centers, regulate the state’s corrupt utility Dominion Energy, codify abortion access, and protect LGBTQ+ rights.

What: We will be door-to-door canvassing each day for approximately 4-8 hours.

Where: Key districts where we can flip state legislative seats.
John McAuliff in Middleburg/Purcellville (HD 30).
Nicole Cole in Spotsylvania (HD 66)
Kimbery Pope Adams in Petersburg (HD 82)

When: You can come any time from Saturday, October 25 – Tuesday, Nov 4. Join for one day or the whole time! Weekday canvas shifts are 4-7:30pm.

Housing/Travel: Lead Locally is committed to covering the costs of housing and travel for all those that need financial support to volunteer with us. We are working with each campaign to provide volunteer housing, and we can cover transit costs from most locations in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Northeast of the US. After you sign up, someone from Lead Locally will be in touch to discuss housing and travel needs.
