Write Letters to Virginia Voters · Vote Forward

Join Vote Forward and volunteers across the country to write letters to voters in Virginia! At the event you’ll learn more about how to get involved with Vote Forward, the Virginia redistricting referendum, and what kinds of messages resonate with voters. On April 21, 2026, Virginia will hold a statewide special referendum in which voters can approve or reject a ballot measure on redistricting. **If passed, the measure would amend the state Constitution to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections.** The measure is intended to counter gains Republicans are making in other states via their own mid-cycle partisan redistricting effort. Crucially, control of the U.S. House in 2026 depends on the outcome of this ballot measure as it directly impacts how many seats will be competitive for Democrats overall. The ballot measure is temporary, ensuring Virginia’s standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census. For the Virginia redistricting referendum campaign we’ll be testing a new innovation: **combining civic outreach with access to community support resources.** These letters encourage eligible voters to participate in the referendum while also providing access to a Vote Forward volunteer-run community helpline connecting recipients with charitable and government resources. Recipients can call or text to reach trained Vote Forward volunteers who will: - Express empathy and listen to concerns - Provide referrals to relevant support resources - Encourage civic participation and voting The most common question we receive at Vote Forward is: "what should I write?" This letter writing event is the personalized, in depth answer to that question. Vote Forward staff will help you craft an effective, personal message to voters.Whether you’re writing letters for the first time or you’re an experienced letter writer looking to refine your message, this event is for you! RSVP today, and we’ll let you know how to join this event. Invite your friends and family, too and encourage them to become letter writers this year! Never written letters before? No problem! Visit [votefwd.org/instructions](https://votefwd.org/instructions) for all the information you need, and sign up for an account at [votefwd.org](https://votefwd.org). Then you can download letters from the campaign of your choice, and we’ll offer guidance on how to write and prepare your letters at our event!

July 9, 1983: The first seven miles of trail were another game of lost-in-the-woods. When it was over, I sat down to rest for ten minutes on a rock beside the trail. Five minutes after resuming my hike, I passed a park bench in the middle of a clearing surrounded by a pleasant forest grove. I wished this spot had been mentioned in my guidebook.

Evacuation of over 1500 sailors and U.S. troops with families from Mideast base in #Bahrain sends #Virginia community groups scrambling to help

“…personnel say that the sailors arrived with very little.

A call went out to community groups, asking for basic supplies like hygiene products.”

"The base was asking for donations of toiletries for the sailors coming back, because they were coming back with nothing,"
