Put Your Values Into Action: Aug 23 - Sep 17 Democratic Events
Freedom Summer Virginia Beach is moving into its next phase—and there is a place for everyone to make a difference.
Led by the Virginia Beach Democratic Committee, Freedom Summer VB is a grassroots initiative expanding voter information, registration, and meaningful civic participation across Virginia Beach and Coastal Virginia. Through neighbor-to-neighbor conversations, community gatherings, and accountable follow-through, we are helping residents become informed, ready, and empowered to vote.
Whether you can make calls, attend a community event, support voting rights, or stand with working families, your participation matters. Join us at one—or several—of these upcoming events.

Freedom Summer VB Phone Banks — Districts 2 and 8
Help us reach Virginia Beach residents who do not always hear from political organizations. Volunteers will make respectful, information-first calls to low-turnout voters, listen to their concerns, and share important civic and election information.
No experience is necessary, and training will be provided. Not comfortable making calls? Ask about postcard-writing and texting opportunities. Come for the community—and leave knowing that you made a valuable impact.
