Stand With Louise Lucas Against Political Intimidation

Virginia State Sen. Louise Lucas is refusing to back down in the face of intimidation — and she needs our support.

After helping lead Virginia’s voter-approved redistricting effort aimed at protecting fair representation, Lucas is speaking out against what she and other Democratic leaders describe as a politically motivated FBI raid tied to the Trump administration.

This comes just weeks after Virginians voted to reject efforts to manipulate congressional maps and defend democratic representation ahead of the 2026 elections.

No matter your politics, federal law enforcement should never be used to intimidate elected officials or silence those who stand up for voting rights and democracy.

Louise Lucas has made it clear: she will keep fighting for her constituents and for fair elections — no matter the pressure.

This is about protecting democratic institutions, rejecting political intimidation, and ensuring that leaders can stand up for voters without fear.

Add your name to stand with Louise Lucas and defend democracy, voting rights, and the rule of law.
