Our big annual fundraiser will be the long-awaited, much discussed fish fry… with special guest Senator Louise Lucas!
- WHEN: Friday, June 24, 6-8pm
- WHERE: on the lawn of the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center, 223 4th Street NW
Come meet and hear from Louise Lucas, President pro tempore of the Virginia Senate (and entrepreneur and social media star…you don’t want to be on the receiving end of her barbed sense of humor!). The outdoor setting will let us get together in person (finally!) in a safe way to catch up, hang out, and meet new people. It will be great fun! And your ticket purchases fund our November election work and everything else we do this year. VA 5th District candidate Josh Throneburg will also be on hand to say a few words.
Individual tickets are $15, “bring a friend” tickets are $30, and children under 12 are only $5.
Sponsorships by individuals and companies (at various higher levels that include the dinner) make up the bulk of our proceeds (i.e. our annual budget!), so if you can please choose one of the sponsor options when you get your tickets.
Tickets are now available at https://secure.actblue.com/donate/demsfishfry. Additional event details are there too, e.g. a vegetarian option is available.
Please buy your tickets as soon as possible, but definitely before June 10th; our caterer, Royalty Eats, needs to get its big order in early to avoid supply chain problems. We won’t be able to accommodate more than a handful of walk-ins without reservations (if any), so order your tickets now before you forget!
On Saturday, May 14, abortion rights supporters are holding a “Bans Off Our Bodies” rally and protest march in support of abortion access and reproductive freedom. Speakers will include our VA 5th District candidate Josh Throneburg.
