We're excited to announce that Virginians for Change has joined States United as our second GVP group in Virginia!
@virginiansforchange (VFC) is a grassroots volunteer-run organization committed to education and advocacy to prevent gun violence. VFC worked with national and local partners, including our affiliate Virginia Center for Public Safety to pass life-saving state legislation signed by Gov Spanberger on April 10th.💜
Did you know Washington Ceasefire was founded in 1983, making it our oldest affiliate in our network? On the flip side, Georgia Majority for Gun Safety is our youngest affiliate! Follow them to learn more about their grassroots state advocacy work.
