What You Can Do to Help

Donate to the Swing Left Flip VA Immediate Impact Fund
31st Street Swing Left has raised over $18,000 to distribute their Virginia video ads. Their efforts are working incredibly well, and the following campaigns are using it: Dougherty, Guy, Myers, Fowler, Pohl, Mallard and Willett. They are fully funding some, sharing cost with a few, and a couple are paying for it themselves. The campaigns love the ad, and it is being targeted at low-turnout voters.
WinVirginia, (the organization founded by Tom Perriello, former candidate for governor,) is airing the ad in the Virginia Beach and Richmond areas. The $18,000 plus 31st Streeet has raised and committed so far has been highly effective. With $4,000 more 31st Street can get the ad out to more voters.
Donate to the 31st Street ad campaign here by Thursday close of buisiness to be most effective in their final GOTV efforts.
