WHY:

The State Government Citizens Campaign (SGCC) is supporting candidates at the state level. MAGA is destroying the American democratic system, disenfranchising voters of color, ending women’s rights, harassing the LGBTQ+ community, and making the working class’s lives so miserable that they blame the government—making it easier to dismantle. These are the underpinnings of a fascist takeover of America. While the GOP dismantles the federal government, state governments are where the real power lies.

Everything happens in state legislatures first— laws for reproductive rights, gun legislation, voting rights or climate action, and SGCC will keep fighting, Check out their website.

Why Virginia?

At this critical moment, many of us are asking the same urgent question: What can I do to stand up to Trump and the dangerous movement he leads?

One powerful and immediate answer is this: support the candidates and causes that are actively resisting his cruelty, ignorance, and corruption. The authoritarian forces rising around him are real—and so is our ability to fight back.

Between now and the November 2025 off-off-year elections, Friday Action is urging everyone to focus our energy and resources on winning big in Virginia. A Democratic sweep there wouldn’t just shift the balance of power in one state—it would send a national signal and build the kind of momentum we need heading into 2026.

A strong showing in Virginia unlocks critical pieces of the puzzle: increased national fundraising, energized grassroots infrastructure, and stronger candidate recruitment in key districts across the country. When Democrats win in Virginia, the ripple effects are real—donors will take notice, top-tier candidates will step up, and vulnerable Republicans will start looking for the exits.

This isn’t speculation. In recent cycles, what happened in Virginia helped define the national mood and foreshadowed success in the midterms. We have the opportunity to do that again.

And let’s not forget the immediate stakes: flipping the Virginia House and protecting the Senate would give Democrats full control of state government—creating a firewall for abortion rights, voting rights, marriage equality, and more.

HOW:

Let’s make Virginia the turning point. The road to 2026—and to defeating Trump—runs through Richmond.
