A “Legislator Meet and Greet” and Candidate Forum Event is being hosted by social justice advocates of Fairfax County (NOVA). This event prior to fall elections is for constituents, providing them an opportunity to introduce themselves and their concerns to state legislator and candidates. Invitees include incumbents and candidates whose districts cover all or part of Fairfax County and surrounding area. Plan to join us, please.
Your concerns and issues are very important. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to meet with elected officials and candidates. From supporting a better-funded safety net and emergency assistance programs to campaigning toward eliminating racial profiling, prison re-entry programs or advocating for other issues, our voices resonate with the power we build—together.
