Hey, Introverts!
Many of us want to volunteer for #Harris2024, but not all of us are keen on putting ourselves into lots of face-to-face interactions - even with people we know.
Here’s some ideas on how #introverts can volunteer. I’d like to hear your suggestions, too! 🧵

Our brilliant alumni were all smiles yesterday for the first day of a new blue Virginia legislature!
Last year, we went ALL IN to help Dems win the Senate and flip the House blue.
We can't wait to see the progress this new legislature makes to keep Virginia moving forward.🌟

Last night, reproductive freedom was on the ballot in Ohio, Kentucky, and Virginia. It won everywhere.
Women enjoy having human rights, and we vote.

Thank you! Last night, thanks to the voters of the 95th, I was elected Delegate-Elect Alex Askew.
I look forward to once again representing my hometown in the Virginia General Assembly.
This win feels so good! Early votes made all the difference!
The race likeliest to put Dems over the top in the VA House of Delegates is #HD97 in Virginia Beach, where Michael Feggans (D) trails narrowly but mail ballots should put him ahead if patterns hold.

Virginia is the only state in the South with broad abortion access.
Today, voters held the blue Senate, which has blocked every GOP abortion ban since the fall of Roe v. Wade.
State elections are how we win.

Amy Laufer has officially WON her race for Virginia House District 55! We are so thrilled for our brilliant candidate and the community she represents.
Congratulations, @LauferFor55!

INCREDIBLE VICTORY.
Virginia's Senate stays BLUE!🎉 The thin Democratic majority has been the only thing standing between Gov. Youngkin and an abortion ban in Virginia.
This win brings us that much closer to ensuring that abortion remains legal in the Commonwealth.
