  • The women’s caucus of the democratic party of Virginia submitted a resolution to the State Central committee affirming its opposition to the imposition of restrictions on reproductive choice by the governments of the Commonwealth or the United States, and stand in solidarity with women in states where abortion has become or soon will become illegal. We are calling upon the General Assembly of Virginia and the United States Congress to take such actions as may be necessary to protect the right to safe and legal abortion and to codify the right to safe and legal abortion in the Virginia Code.

Welcome to the Women’s Caucus of the Virginia Democratic Party!

Democratic women are at the forefront of making Virginia a strong and welcoming state. The Women’s Caucus of the state Democratic Party is actively building a powerful statewide network to support state and local candidates and issues. We invite you to join us!

Today, a growing number of Democratic women hold elected office at the local and state level. They championed and passed progressive legislation of concern to women that had been stalled for years or had never even been considered.

With the continuous Republican attacks on issues and legislation that promote women's health and well-being, the Women’s Caucus is determined to keep up the pressure and never go back.

We urge you to become a member of the Women's Caucus and help us build the Virginia of the future.
