People For has a record of developing, empowering, and electing leaders who are boldly progressive, rooted in their communities, and reflect the rich diversity of Virginia and America. In the places where others say a candidate who is a woman, young, working class, of color, LGBTQ+, or committed to truth, justice, and the American Way can’t win or withstand the attacks, People For accepts the challenge.
In 2023, we supported a slate of leaders in important local races that the pundits had written off but were nonetheless key to a progressive majority. We dug deep in places others wouldn’t invest, and we brought the fight and resources where they were needed most.
Through grassroots and digital organizing, high-impact partnerships with artists, celebrities, cultural leaders, and influencers, radio ads, and training and development opportunities for endorsees, we helped hold the Virginia Senate and flip the House by electing these bold leaders.
