🚨 Mutual Aid collection at No Kings in Richmond, VA this Saturday, Oct 17th!

We’ll be collecting period products, including but not limited to pads, tampons, liners, period panties, etc. Federal assistance does not cover period products, creating period poverty.

Period poverty refers to an “insufficient access to menstrual products, education, and sanitation facilities,” which has been linked to negative impacts on education and psychosocial outcomes. With an estimated 300,000 Virginians who will lose Medicaid access from the HR1 ‘Big Beautiful Bill’, having a menstrual cycle shouldn’t be a financial burden in addition to increasing costs everywhere else.

VA50501 does not officially endorse candidates, but we could not sit idly by when we heard that the Democratic Party of Virginia (DPVA) were not remaining neutral in the Democratic primary race happening in VA-01/CD-01.

Virginia Mercury published an article on July 21st that included a letter signed by current candidates and several other currently sitting lawmakers questioning the neutrality of DPVA. In the letter it cites newly disclosed FEC campaign finance records showing a ‘Shannon Taylor Victory Fund’ had been created before early voting ended and before the primary election day occurred, raising conflict-of-interest questions. Shannon Taylor has also accepted a total of $800,000 from Dominion Energy.

The VA-01/CD-01 is a vital seat that will end up going up against Republican incumbent Rob Wittman in the midterms (Wittman has been avoiding meeting with his constituents directly over the last year and voted to cut healthcare including Medicaid.) It’ll be vital to have someone on the Democratic ticket that will actually push back on DJT and his admin. Instead of going with another predetermined established Democratic nominee, vote for one of the following progressive candidates instead in the primary race!

Check out Ballotpedia or the Virginia Dept of Elections to see what is on your ballot, you can also verify your voting district if you’re unsure.
