Today’s Sponsor: The Virginia Progressive Leadership Program
The Virginia Progressive Leadership Program is a four-month experiential learning program for community-driven leaders to deepen and grow their impact. We believe community leaders with diverse lived experiences are the most effective and powerful force for shaping a more just, equitable, and humane society. From May - August, participants engage in
skill-up trainings and community-building through program weekends,
1:1 mentorship with a mid- to senior-level professional,
and collective action work in small squads.
We are the only leadership development program in Virginia that has no cost to participants and centers progressive values with a liberatory framework. We aim to practice what transforming systems & culture looks like to realize the Virginia we imagine.. today. Applications are due Wednesday, March 15th. Learn more & apply here.

The NRA calls out “fake Second Amendment Advocacy group”
The National Rifle Association (NRA) is calling out Chris Anders’ strategy of fundraising for his group by attacking Speaker of the House Todd Gilbert and other Republicans. Anders sends emails attacking the Speaker regularly and accusing him of not being on the side of gun owners. The NRA, the largest gun rights advocacy group in the country, disagrees with Anders and is making that known Wednesday.
