Elections

Kids and adults, we need your artwork!

Do you doodle, draw or paint?  We’re looking for fun, homegrown designs for our next postcard campaign, “Be an Absentee Voter.”

In this year of pandemic, we are convinced that getting our Democratic friends and neighbors to vote absentee is the best way to ensure the turnout we need to eject Trump from the White House and elect Democrats up and down the ballot.

And postcards have been an extremely effective way to reach voters — just look at the remarkable number of absentee votes that Caleb Rogers was able to mobilize in his successful race for Williamsburg City Council, supported by our postcard campaign.

We’re looking for postcard designs that illustrate our message “Be an Absentee Voter” in two different categories:

  • full-color drawings
  • black and white “coloring-page” postcard designs that our kids and grandkids can color as they help their parents write postcards

Our PDF template is 10 x 6.67 inches, and we’ll reduce the finished drawing to fit on a 4 x 6 postcard. Drawings can be horizontal or vertical. Make […]

Join Neighbors United for Change

We’re launching NEIGHBORS UNITED FOR CHANGE, and we hope you’ll sign up to be involved. These groups, organized at the neighborhood level, will work to identify and communicate neighbor-to-neighbor and friend-to-friend. Want to organize an interest group you’re involved with, or a group of your friends? That works too. Or if you’re already a part of an existing neighborhood group, we’d love to work with you.

Joe Biden for President

Elected to the U.S. Senate at the age of 29, Joe Biden has spent his life in public service. Now he will be the Democratic candidate for President.

His vision:

We are in a battle for the soul of America.

It’s time to remember who we are. We’re Americans: tough and resilient. We choose hope over fear. Science over fiction. Truth over lies. And unity over division. We treat each other with dignity, we leave nobody behind, and we give hate no safe harbor.

We are the United States of America. And together, there is not a single thing we cannot do.

Voting in VA Just Got Easier!

On July 1, new laws make voting in Virginia more accessible and equitable. Here’s a brief run-down of the changes:

  1. Election Day in November is a state holiday (replacing Lee-Jackson Day)
  2. Absentee voting
    • You no longer need an excuse to vote absentee by mail or in person
    • Your absentee ballot will be counted if it is postmarked on or before Election Day and arrives at the registrar’s office by noon on the third day after the election (previously had to arrive by 7pm on Election Day)
    • You must apply for your absentee ballot no later than 11 days before the election (previously 7 days)
  3. Voter ID
    • You can now use documents without your photo — e.g., voter registration card and documents such as utility bills containing your name and address (an employer ID must still include your photo)
    • Students registered to vote in Virginia and attending a college outside of Virginia may use their student IDs (previously applied only to students at Virginia colleges)
  4. Voter registration
    • Automatic voter registration […]
