WofA Voting & Elections Kick Off!!!
Monday, February 18th – 7:00 to 9:00 PM
Calling all WofA’s! This is not just any meeting – Please RSVP now: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wofa-voting-elections-kick-off-meeting-tickets-56002496976
This is the kickoff to our efforts to Flip the VA General Assembly. Anyone who has followed the 2019 VA General Assembly session knows that bill after bill was shot down by the Republican majority – let’s pull out the stops and change out our GA!
We’re making this a meeting/party – with snacks and libations and plenty of WofA solidarity. We’ll discuss recommendations for “adopt-a-candidates”, how we’ll be coordinating with the larger VA Grassroots Coalition efforts, what it means to adopt a district, and best of all, identify opportunities for you to get involved!
Meeting location: Chez Shutler. 2923 N. Oxford St. Arlington VA 22207. For more information, contact Sharon at: shutlersharon@gmail.com or Jessie Clark at jessie@carefreeboats.com

For WofAs looking for a way to make a difference!
Here are a few things that take minimal time, yet make a big difference within our WofA Community and Beyond:
WHAT’S UP WOFA – Weekly Email Update
What’s Up WofA is a weekly email update listing key WofA, Virginia Grassroots, and other events over a several week period of time. This weekly email is a critical communication and engagement vehicle for WofA membership. Activities/events are drawn from the Virginia Grassroots Coalition weekly email, the WofA website – events section, and occasionally other sources. They are largely “pre-written” which means cutting, pasting, and sometimes a little editing. What’s Up WofA goes out on Mondays (more or less) and only takes 1 hour! Best of all, it’s a fun and meaningful way to help WofA. Contact Sharon Shutler, shutlersharon@gmail.com for a 10-minute training session.
Wofava.org – Website Maintenance
WofA is currently using WordPress. The initial needs are:
