Last week, #VAV Founder and our Virginia volunteers joined @UpVoteVA to connect with fellow citizens and legislators who are passionate about shaping the future of VA. They advocated for bills that focus on campaign finance reform, RCV, and ensuring access to the ballot.

Happy #RankedChoiceVoting Day, 1-23! Today, we're celebrating #RCV because: ✅ Voters get more choice and more voice ✅ RCV rewards more positive campaigning ✅ It's as easy as 1, 2, 3! Learn how we're advancing ranked choice voting in #Virginia: upvoteva.org

We’re back. A brief statement on where Ninety9Lives has been (and where it’s going next). Signal restored.

Exciting news! VA's 9th District Democratic Committee passed a pro-#RankedChoiceVoting resolution, encouraging localities to use #RCV in elections & urging VA's Congressional delegation to support pro-#RCV federal legislation. Read the full resolution: va9thdemocrats.org/our-committee

As Virginia heads into another election season (every year for us!), it's time to take a hard look at our local elections, where crowded fields often lead to winners with nowhere near the majority of voters' support. upvoteva.org/blog/tell-your…

According to @IMDb @imdbpro , I am the 523rd most popular actor or actress with a birthday today! I was #301 in 2023, #261 in 2020, #314 in 2019! imdb.com/search/name/?b…

The 19th Amendment was ratified on this day in 1920. In this blog, we explore women's suffrage stories found within our Archives, including flights in support of suffrage, comments on suffrage from popular female aviators, and more: s.si.edu/2CB2m5I

Happy #WomensEqualityDay! In 1920 #OTD, the 19th Amendment was certified, prohibiting voter discrimination on the basis of sex. However, getting the 19th was not easy.

A new bill in Congress would stop gerrymandering, and give voters more choice & more voice with #RankedChoiceVoting in US House & Senate elections. Ask your members of Congress to support the Fair Representation Act at the link below, and read on to learn more. #FairRepAct 🧵

"From the recent Dem LG primary to the CD11 special election primaries, Virginia has 2 examples of how #RankedChoiceVoting could benefit voters in crowded races. Both demonstrate why it's time for Virginia's political parties to further embrace RCV." upvoteva.org/blog/op-ed-to-…

It's not just NYC -- there's exciting #RankedChoiceVoting news today from Charlottesville, VA. The city held its first RCV election in June... 89% want to keep using RCV, and 96% were confident filling out their ballots. @UpVoteVA @SallyLHudson rankedchoiceva.org/news/charlotte…

The Dem LG Primary is the perfect case for #rankedchoicevoting. 6 candidates from across the Commonwealth w/ shared values and similar approaches to issues, RCV would help voters more than ever. Try it out! rcv123.org/ballot/1/GXcRF…

Last day of 3rd grade for son, and last day of daycare/pre-school for daughter. #allthefeels #theygrowupsofast

Reminder 🇺🇸

NPR receives $2-3M/year in federal funding. PBS receives $80-85M. The military-themed birthday parade Trump is throwing himself will cost taxpayers $92M. We’re told cutting news and kids programming to fund an authoritarian birthday bash somehow “makes America great again”
