We’ve made it easy to email your senators and demand they reject any DHS budget that puts more money into Trump’s deadly deportation machine. With a vote expected later this week, it’s extra important for your senators to hear from you right now.

Oppose #ICE in Central VA?

Hanover County's Board of Supervisors has 30 days to respond to a request to turn a 43-acre site & warehouse into an ICE jail.

Come protest on Jan 28th at 5:30pm (or earlier!) before the BoS's next meeting at the Hanover County Govt Complex (7516 County Complex Road).

Another example of Rob Wittman's constituents not falling for his performative photo op. As @wittmanwatch.bsky.social proves almost daily, Rob has done little to improve #VA01 & more importantly causes harm to our economy, health, nat'l sec & personal safety. VOTE (OR REDISTRICT) HIM OUT!!!

Appalling.

Wittman and the Republicans support the violent ICE secret police and violating our rights & freedoms.

Vote. Him. Out.
Appalling response from Rob Wittman about concerns regarding ICE's illegal & violent actions in MN. #VA01 should have no illusions that Rob will protect against ICE terrorizing our communities. Vote like your life depends on it because it does.

TAKE ACTION NOW: Defund ICE!

Congress must pass another funding bill by Jan 30, which includes money for DHS, CBP, and ICE. Recent atrocities, including the killing of Renee Good and use of violent tactics to terrorize communities by these agencies highlight the urgency to block their funding.

Virginia Democrats want the voters to decide if Virginia will redistrict to stop the Republicans from destroying our country.

Last week both chambers of the General Assembly voted so that the question will come for vote this spring. Share this video to help others understand what is at stake:

For the first time in history, the state of Virginia has a female Governor and right after being sworn in today Governor Abigail Spanberger’s first official act was to end cooperation between ICE-Gestapo and Virginia State Police. More of this. 💙👊👏

We'll see everyone back next month on February 8th!

The secret MAGA police ICE is kidnapping and murdering immigrants and citizens alike without cause or due process.

It's horrifying.

In 2026, let's vote Wittman, McGuire, all of the Republicans out.

In the meantime, let's look out for and help protect our neighbors.
