This is the last weekend before the country’s off-year elections (remember to turn in your own ballot!), and this year we are only a few seats away from flipping the Virginia State Legislature and giving progressives and Democrats full control of the state. This could mean Virginia ratifies the Equal Rights Amendment, expands voting rights, and fixes gerrymandered congressional maps!
