COVA Coalition: progressive women in Hampton Roads, VA
@covacoalition.bsky.social
Community. Connection. Action. We bring women (and men) together to protect reproductive freedom, support public education and advocate sensible gun laws. We bust butt for candidates, strengthen democracy, and write an effing lot of postcards!
🚨 #HamptonRoads, stay alert! 🚨

According to a nationally-known immigration attorney, our area is likely to be an #ICE target before too long.

Why would someone keep a list of pedophiles secret?

1) They’re on the list.
2) They’re protecting people on the list.
3) They’re following an order.

Are we wrong, GOP? Then prove it.

🚨🚨 #Virginia, 2025 early voting is ahead of 2021 (the last Gov, Lt Gov, AG & HOD #election). Good, right? Depends on who is showing up. 2025 turnout is higher in REPUBLICAN districts. Turnout in our strong Dem districts has tanked.

🗳️ Have you voted? Please get to the polls by Tuesday! #GOTV

A vote for Jay Jones is a vote for fair elections.
A vote for Jay Jones is a vote for the civil rights of ALL Virginians.
A vote for Jay Jones is a vote for preventing federal overreach.

#Virginia, do we want an AG with pro-Virginia policies or one who bends a knee to DC?

If reelected as AG, we can expect #JasonMiyares to continue condoning federal overreach with funding & job cuts that hurt #Virginia; continue cooperating with ICE & ignoring due process; supporting anti-voting rights legislation like the SAVE Act.

Want an independent Commonwealth? #VoteBlue! (2/2)
October 27, 2025 at 4:13 PM
As AG, #JasonMiyares

▶️declined to join a multistate lawsuit to halt healthcare cuts when VA could lose up to $425 million in federal grants
▶️chose not to join other AGs in challenging the Trump administration’s education funding freeze
▶️urged Congress to pass the anti-voting rights SAVE Act
