Join Equality Virginia and LGBTQ+ advocates from across the Commonwealth for LGBTQ+ Lobby Day 2026 at the Virginia General Assembly! This is a powerful opportunity to make your voice heard, build community, and directly advocate for policies that protect and advance LGBTQ+ equality in Virginia.
Whether you're a seasoned advocate or attending Lobby Day for the first time, we'll make sure you're prepared and supported every step of the way.
What to Expect
Advocacy Training: Learn the basics of lobbying, the effective storytelling, and how to speak with lawmakers about LGBTQ+ issues.
Legislative Briefings: Get the latest updates on priority bills and budget amendments impacting LGBTQ+ Virginians, including constitutional amendments to secure the freedom to marry and legislation to fund and expand access to trans health care.
Meetings with Lawmakers: Participants will meet directly with Delegates and Senators to share personal stories and advocate for equality-focused legislation.
Community & Visibility: Show up proudly! Participants can purchase Freedom to Marry and Trans Rights t-shirts and tote bags to wear and use while lobbying.
Event Details
Time: 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM (check-in begins promptly at 8:00 AM)
Location: Richmond, VA (exact location and schedule will be shared with registered participants)
No prior lobbying experience is required—just a commitment to standing up for LGBTQ+ Virginians. Together, we can ensure our lawmakers hear directly from the people most impacted by their decisions.
👉 RSVP today at bit.ly/LobbyDay26 to join us for this critical day of advocacy and action! This Lobby Day is capped at 100 participants! If you will be attending Lobby Day with a family member or group, please submit a separate form for each person. This allows us to have an accurate count when ordering food and assembling Lobby Day groups!
