Every election is important. Every vote matters

The voices of survivors and advocates are vital to building a future in which we all thrive.

Elections

In addition to voting for the next President in November, we’ll vote on candidates for Congress. Some major cities in Virginia will also vote to fill seats in their local governments and school boards.

The people elected this year will make decisions that affect our lives every day for years to come, from affordability of healthcare and prescriptions to funding for victim services, abortion access, school and teacher funding, gun violence prevention, and a host of other important issues that affect our daily lives and work with survivors.
