As Black History Month comes to an end, we honor the Black voices and visionaries past and present. Our future is dependent on pushing forward, holding the systems in power accountable and advancing equity by supporting and uplifting underserved communities. Liberation for Black people is liberation for all people.

20/02/2022

We know that there is still so much work to do in order to ensure that Liberation is a human right and not a privilege for all of us. From environmental justice to racial justice, equity and humanity are at the foundation of all of our policy stances. We know that we the people have a lot of power when we unite. Please take a moment to learn more about the Liberation Party at www.liberationparty.org and sign up to volunteer as we need all hands on deck for the upcoming election cycle and to hold the newly elected administration accountable. ✊🏽❤️✊🏽 Sign up here: http://bitly.ws/oD42

“Optional” is not an option when it is a matter of life and death! The intent of the Marcus Alert was to be a lifesaving mental health bill. Saving the lives of community members should ALWAYS come first, not prioritizing police department budgets. We must hold our legislators accountable or they will continue to hand us watered down, dangerous legislation.

Are you committed to building a progressive party that aims to ensure equity and humanity are at the foundation of all legislation? Let us know the areas where you can help:

In 2021, we took our message from the streets to the seats of power and saw what is possible when we unite. In 2022, we will build on that momentum with the Liberation Party to create real, sustainable change in our communities and in our government. Stay tuned and follow us for updates on how you can support us!

The decision by the Virginia State Water Control Board to allow the permit for the Mountain Valley Pipeline despite HUNDREDS of environmental violations underscores what so many of us already know—the system, no matter what party is in power, is designed to fail the people and the land. This only fuels the fire of our commitment to put people over profit, and align ourselves with the communities who continue to fight. An injustice for one is an injustice for us all.

Our response to yesterday's decision: https://powhr.org/virginia-water-board-approves-key-permit-for-mountain-valley-pipeline/

Roberta Bondurant, Co-Chair of the Protect Our Water, Heritage, Rights Coalition (POWHR) responded:

"As we reflect on the losses of neighbor landowners and communities suffering MVP’s destructive effects on land, forests and waters, in the midst of an intensifying climate crisis, Virginia’s Water Board has marked for itself an infamous place in history. In granting MVP, a 300 plus repeat offender, a Clean Water Act 401 permit, Virginia regulators have shown its willful indifference to the stark reality of climate catastrophe and squandered an opportunity to do real environmental justice for the people of Southwest Virginia.

“MVP’s chosen route for its mega-pipeline, blasting and barreling across steep, landslide and earthquake prone mountain slopes, our pristine streams, and protective wetlands, multiplies already high risks of drinking water pollution and fiery explosions, imposing constant threats upon vulnerable and often silent witnesses in its path — including the elderly, single, low- and fixed-income residents, people of color, military veterans, and the disabled. MVP at once renders whole communities either ‘pipeline prisoners,’ or if they are fortunate enough to be able to leave, ‘environmental refugees.’ The result today, shameful but not surprising, leads us to brace for MVP’s continued wrath upon our people and their great places. We will go forward– relentless in pursuit of environmental justice — for the livable future that is the birthright of today’s and future generations.”

The Marcus Alert system went into effect on Dec. 1, but key components are missing that could save lives. We must continue to work together to put community care and safety first.

Housing insecurity is a reality for millions of Americans. As costs of goods and utilities rise, it will remain a dire issue. Our housing policy supports and centers people over profit, incentivizing affordable housing options as we believe housing is a universal human right.

The Liberation Party is made up of everyday people who have made the decision to unite in the fight for justice, equity, and liberation. We’ll occasionally spotlight our members to give you an idea of who we are and what we represent. We hope you’ll join us.

Sending our love and condolences to the families and communities impacted by the gun violence across Virginia the last several days.

This week we’ve experienced a lot of hate brought about by the divisiveness of our system. But we also remember the love and light that brought us here. We were reminded of our greatest donor Chrischa Ives whose daughter Gabby Aldea, a young activist and one of the first people to volunteer for our campaign, embodied what liberation means. A fearless fighter in Hampton Roads and beyond for civil rights, criminal justice reform, racial justice, healthcare and education, her journey was just beginning. Her energy and love for all Virginians will be remembered. We have always said it was the people who got us here, because that is 100% the truth. It was the people who stood up and saw a broken system and decided to try to fix it rather than to walk away who have and always will be our biggest supporters, advocates and allies.

02/11/2021

If you agree with our policy and platform DO NOT let fear stop you from filling in a bubble on a sheet of paper to ensure equity, humanity, and liberation for us all.

Your task is simple, don’t be afraid to Vote Princess Blanding for Virginia Governor! Polls are open until 7pm.
