The best way to get involved is to make your voice heard, by any means that work for you. Reach out to elected representatives, participate in local government surveys, or help spread the word to your friends and neighbors. Sign up for our email list to stay on top of local issues, and never miss an opportunity to engage.

Whether by signing up to comment on issues before city or county meetings, writing letters to government boards and commissions, or reaching out person-to-person, sharing your voice with elected decision-makers is one of the best ways to make an impact. Reaching out to a local or state representative could make you one of the only constituents they hear from on a given issue. They are your neighbors; your children might attend the same school, you might visit the same local shops, or maybe even share a block. They’re there to represent you and issues local to your community, so they want to know what you think!

If you are not familiar with who represents you at the State level, use the Virginia General Assembly’s “Who’s My Legislator” tool below to find their contact information. For local representatives and contact information, view our local resources page.
