VB Resistance - Momentum, Accountability, Issues

The Blue Tsunami came crashing down on a lot of red hats during the Midterm Election, a huge payoff for the long hours many of us put into the cause. While a few of us will be taking a well-deserved holiday break, others are wondering what’s next. What’s next following this historic election success? How do we keep the momentum rolling, hold our elected officials accountable, and address the most pressing issues now?
That’s why Virginia Beach Resistance is hosting its first-ever meeting... to answer a few of those questions. Join us at 6 pm on Monday, November 23, in the Central Folio Meeting Room at the Meyera E. Obendorf Central Library, 4100 Virginia Beach Blvd., Virginia Beach, VA. Sign up today via Mobilize at… https://www.mobilize.us/virginiabeachresistance/event/1080989/
