Virginia,

Reporting live here from Prince William, just before the sun set over the county, a dead party was spotted on PW Pkwy. If you're not from PWC or dont live here, you may not know this was the PWCGOP Headquarters for decades! I mean 30+ years, and they done flew the coop! 😂

Y'all, I said this a few years ago that we would have Youngkin crying in his vest, and Im sure of it.

Tonight, The People made their voices heard. It is what it is, and there is nothing you can do about it✨️

Dems are taking the maps by storm, in blue vests. Lol!

Black women don’t just show up, we shift outcomes.

Today, we lead the way to the polls and make sure our voices echo in every corner of power.

Vote. Lead. Repeat.

We’re proud to stand with our President, LaNoral Thomas, and @SEIUPres, as Black women leaders release a powerful open letter in support of Abigail Spanberger: “Protect What Sustains Us: Good Jobs, and Dignity”

That's right, Virginia!

You see it. We have 7 more days until the People make their voices heard.

Make your plan to vote!

🚨 As redistricting battles heat up nationwide, Virginia is once again at the center — and for the first time, a Black woman is leading the charge (SenLouiseLucas).💪🏾🗳️

I think we all know where the inevitable shenanigans will end up...

In her trash can!

You know Lucas women we go hard or go home!

Let's go, Virginia!

Sen. Louise Lucas: "When Trump pushed for Texas to redistrict prior to the midterms all of that went right out the window. Now, with Texas, North Carolina, and Indiana gerrymandering for republicans, it’s only reasonable for Dems to respond! We will fight fire with fire 🔥"

20 years ago today (Oct 24, 2005), we lost Rosa Parks.

Virginia, did you know that in 1957–58 she lived/worked as a hostess at Hampton Institute’s Holly Tree Inn—still organizing for justice. Her courage keeps us moving. #RosaParks #Virginia #CivilRights

Virginia moves to join redistricting trend The move may reshape the US House districts before the 2026 midterms.

Yes, Virginia!

Our leaders are gathering to fight back! The attacks on Virginia and it's people will not stand!✨️

THIS WILL GO TO COURT

🚨CALIFORNIA VOTE YES ON PROP 5O 🚨

As Bishop Leah D. Daughtry reminds us, this is bigger than politics, it’s about power, economics, and survival.

Black women drive America’s progress, from the workforce to the ballot box.

As Dwana Franklin-Davis reminds us, leaving women of color out of leadership isn’t just exclusion, it’s lost innovation, progress, and possibility.

At BWLC, we’re building the tables, shaping the policies, and leading the change our communities deserve.

Host: As the government shutdown enters its 4th week, lines growing longer, tempers getting shorter. Staffing shortages are leading to longer wait times at security. Food pantries are stressed, with roughly 1.4 million federal employees furloughed, demand is on the rise

Hey y'all!

We only have a few short weeks left before we decide who our next Governor, Lt. Governor and Attorney General will be (and 100 seats in the House). So, if you live in Virginia, drop a line or two in the comments, and tell me your why (voting).

Wishing you all an amazing day!

"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble." Congressman John Lewis #GoodTrouble 📸 @matttodd.bsky.social
