Info from Cockburn headquarters:
The safety of our VA05 Team is our number one priority and so, to be safe, we are canceling canvassing operations and closing our offices this coming Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

With nearly 50 days to Election Day, Hurricane Florence will not halt our progress! There is far too much at stake. While our campaign offices will be closed and we are encouraging our team to stay off the roads, we welcome you to make calls from home. You can sign up for a district wide Virtual Phone Bank by clicking here.

Violet Crown Theatre | 200 W. Main Street
Charlottesville, VA | Sun, Sept 16, 7 pm

Join Women of the Fifth and Director Leslie Cockburn for a special screening of American Casino, which chronicles the housing crisis and ensuing Great Recession. Nobel Prize-winning economist Joe Stiglitz called it a “powerful and shocking look at the subprime lending scandal. If you want to understand how the US financial system failed and how mortgage companies ripped off the poor, see this film.”

We’re thrilled to having Leslie joining us to introduce the film and share her reflections in a Q&A to follow. Ticket proceeds will benefit the Albemarle Housing Improvement Program.
