HISTORIC: We fought to restore Virginians' voting rights and WON! After the Civil War, Virginia started targeting Black Virginians to illegally take away people’s right to vote — but 150 years later, that practice ends today. Today's win proves that it's never too late to work for justice. We won't stop fighting for a Virginia for all.

D.C., Maryland, and Virginia: Make a plan NOW. If you—or the people you love—are stopped by ICE, here's what to do. Families in the #DMV often live in one jurisdiction, work in another, and rely on schools, hospitals, and public services spread across one another. But no matter where you are in the DMV, you have rights. Know your rights. Help us keep families together by SHARING this post.

Today we are ONE STEP CLOSER to safeguarding civil rights in the Commonwealth from attacks at the federal level. 🎉 This November, Virginians can vote to ensure that who we marry, what private decisions we make about our reproductive health, and our right to vote doesn't depend on who's in office.

ICE unlawfully held our client for more than NINE months after detaining him when he accompanied a friend to court — but this week a federal judge ordered his RELEASE! "Alex" should never have been detained in the first place. In his own words, he shared what it feels like to be free. Alex came to the U.S. after enduring unimaginable circumstances. He followed all the rules – but ICE did not. We'll continue fighting back against the Trump administration's lawless, anti-immigrant agenda.

WIN: Our client was ordered by a federal judge to be released from ICE detention! ㅤ Alex is the fifth person whom we have gotten released from ICE detention in the last seven months. ㅤ We’re happy he’s home with his partner and child, but he never should have been detained in the first place. ㅤ Alex came to the U.S. after enduring unimaginable circumstances. He followed all the rules – but ICE did not. Alex’s traumatic experience is just one of countless examples of the Trump administration’s shameless disregard for the Constitution in service of its violent anti-immigrant agenda. ㅤ We’ll continue holding the Trump administration accountable.

Hey Virginia DMV: The Constitution protects private speech — which includes personalized license plates. We have a few copies of the Constitution laying around our office in case you need one or two (hundred). 🗣️ The government can’t censor our speech just because it doesn’t like what we have to say.

The decision to get an abortion is private, personal, and often shaped by the reality of already raising a child. ă…¤ This #MothersDay, we honor all the mothers and caregivers who are fighting for a better future for their children.

Today we're in court to tell Virginia DMV to stay in its lane. ㅤ Personalized license plates are personal expression and protected by the First Amendment. ㅤ The government can’t revoke Virginians First Amendment rights just because they don’t like what we have to say.

Stay in your lane, Virginia DMV. ㅤ Speech expressed on vanity license plates — even political speech — is constitutionally protected. ㅤ We won't steer away from fighting attempts to censor Virginians. See you in court tomorrow, Virginia DMV.

Medication abortion #mifepristone is STILL accessible via telehealth, mail, and pharmacy — for now. ㅤ We should be in control of our lives, NOT politicians. ㅤ VIRGINIA: Vote YES this November to protect reproductive freedom in Virginia's constitution.
