Virginia New Majority (VNM) is a 501(c)4 organization that organizes and educates Virginians to win pro-people policies. VNM encourages citizenship, civic participation, and informed voter engagement. Founded in August 2007, VNM breaks from Virginia's old history of racism and corporate domination. We build on the best democratic traditions as we work to create a new and modern political system where all of us can participate in the decisions that impact us; where funds are raised from those who can most afford to pay; and where government has a role in supporting the common well-being of all. We build power by organizing the diverse peoples of the Commonwealth. Together we make up a new majority- African Americans, immigrants, progressive whites, youth, women, gays and lesbians. |

Since 2008, Virginia New Majority has engaged over 50,000 Virginians about social issues such as healthcare and immigration. Over the next 10 years, VNM plans to systematically build and consolidate a progressive majority that: supports inclusive, community-building initiatives to support immigrants in their efforts to become citizens, that fights for healthcare for all, that creates a social safety net that is better than the national average, that promotes unions as the best wealth distribution system, that stops state suport for sprawl in favor of mass transportation and that increases revenue through progressive taxes. Our strategic plan utilizes a number of tactics and vehicles - census work, redistricting efforts, issue identification, integration and development of leader activists, grassroots fundraising and multilingual communications in order to organize people, money and ideas to build a majority and win power.
