Freedom to Vote Relay from WV to Washington, DC
Extremist politicians nationwide are passing anti-voter legislation, making it harder for people — especially people of color — to vote. This, alongside highly-partisan congressional maps, is a blatant attempt to disenfranchise millions of American voters for the next decade.
This effort is supported by corporations and billionaires who spend unlimited amounts of money to buy elections and reach outcomes contrary to the will of the people.
But we can stop this by passing the Freedom to Vote Act, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, and DC Statehood.
We need to pull out all the stops to get them across the finish line.
That’s why we’re mobilizing in a new and powerful way, joining together to walk, run and bike from West Virginia to Washington D.C. Thursday, October 21st, and to rally in DC when we arrive on Saturday, October 23rd.
Sign up here to participate. #FreedomToVoteRelay
Freedom to Vote Relay – Rally at the Finish Line!
Whatever our color, background or zip code, in America we value our freedom. The freedom to have a say in decisions that impact our lives—from curbing the pandemic to creating quality jobs to making health care affordable.
The Freedom to Vote Act, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and D.C. Statehood will stop threats to our freedom to vote and help us realize the promise of democracy for all.
For months, the American people have been calling for national standards to protect our freedom to vote, ensure fair representation, and get big money out of politics —demanding action in the face of a faction that spread lies about COVID, fueled the deadly attack on our Capitol, and exploited a Senate loophole to block legislation the majority of us support.
That’s why we’re mobilizing in a new and powerful way with the #FreedomToVoteRelay. Join us as we walk and bike together from West Virginia to our nation’s capital in Washington, DC the week of October 16th, culminating with a rally in DC when we arrive on Saturday, Oct 23rd.
Join us at the finish line for a powerful rally urging the Senate and President Biden to protect our freedom to vote!
We need to push harder than ever to make sure the Senate does what it takes get the #FreedomToVoteAct across the finish line. Sign up to join us here.

#SealTheDeal Day of Action
Join us to urge Congress to #SealTheDeal on the infrastructure package with $3.5T of additional funding! Let’s fight for investments in climate, care, jobs, and justice.
On August 19th, 2021, as a part of a statewide and nationwide day of action, West Virginian’s will gather in front of Senator Shelley Moore Capito’s office to rally and demand an investment in a “Bridge to West Virginia’s Future” that prioritizes West Virginian Jobs and a government that delivers for workers and families in the state, rather than out of state billionaires.
From August to October, in Charleston, Morgantown & Martinsburg activists will host rotating weekly events outside of Senator Capito’s office.
