Our Issues

Redistricting (HJR 4)

On April 21, 2026, Virginians will decide whether to temporarily redistrict our state to restore fairness in the upcoming elections and protect our communities. In August 2025 at the direction of the Trump administration, the Texas state legislature redistricted to create five new Republican-leaning districts for the mid-term elections. Other states including Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio followed suit. California also recently redistricted, but instead of the state legislature and the Governor making the decision, they preserved the democratic process by having voters decide. Virginia, a state that deeply values the democratic process, will now do the same.
The current administration is attacking, demonizing and scapegoating immigrants to deflect attention from the issues that matter most to our Asian American community and all working Americans, including good jobs, affordable housing, access to healthcare, lower grocery prices, good schools and much more. As a community that is majority immigrant, Asian Americans are villainized, torn away from their families and deported, with no due process.
By voting YES for redistricting we can protect our community while restoring fairness to the upcoming elections. 
After the 2030 Census, we will return to Virginia’s independent redistricting process.
OFFICIAL BALLOT QUESTION:
Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia’s standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?  Yes/No
We say: Vote YES
To put it simply: Should Virginia’s constitution be temporarily updated until 2030, to create new congressional districts that protect fair elections?
Early Voting Starts Friday, March 6th! Find your voting location HERE!

Reproductive Freedom Amendment

Virginia is currently the last state in the South that does not have extreme restrictions on reproductive rights after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

This November, Virginians will have the opportunity to vote to protect reproductive freedom in the state of Virginia. This amendment protects the right for Virginians to make their own reproductive health decisions without government interference and will protect healthcare workers.

We know that reproductive health covers a wide range of issues, and this amendment will protect Virginians by protecting:

✅Prenatal care

✅Childbirth

✅Postpartum care

✅Breastfeeding support

✅Birth control

✅Abortion access

✅Miscarriage management

✅Fertility care

OFFICIAL BALLOT QUESTION:
Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to (i) protect the freedom to make personal decisions about prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, birth control, abortion, miscarriage management, and fertility care; (ii) protect doctors, nurses, and patients from being punished for these decisions; and (iii) allow for restrictions on access to abortion during the third trimester of pregnancy except when the patient’s health is at risk or the pregnancy cannot survive?  Yes/No

We say: Vote YES
