Virginia Organizations Backing Vote YES Call Out MAGA Racist Misinformation as Millions Pour Into Trump’s ‘NO’ Campaign

Richmond, Va. — Millions of dollars in MAGA dark money interests are now flowing into Virginia in support of the ‘NO’ campaign, and just this week, the ‘NO’ effort distributed racist and deceptive mailers targeting Black voters across Virginia.

In response, progressive leaders and organizations championing the vote ‘YES’ campaign — including New Virginia Majority, Virginia League of Conservation Voters, CASA in Action, Progress Virginia, Freedom Virginia, and Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia — are sounding the alarm and calling out Trump’s power grab.

As reported by the Virginia Scope: 

A coalition of progressive organizations says millions of dollars tied to allies of former President Donald Trump are being spent to influence Virginia’s upcoming election, as they denounce what they describe as deceptive mailers targeting Black voters.

“The deceptive mailers being sent by the “NO” effort to Black voters across Virginia are offensive, cynical, and deeply disrespectful.

These mailers misuse imagery from the civil rights movement and invoke Jim Crow in an attempt to frighten, mislead, and manipulate voters. Exploiting the painful history of racial discrimination in Virginia for political gain is unacceptable.

Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are hellbent on pursuing a national power grab, and are now spending millions of dollars spreading misinformation across Virginia to buy this election. But our communities have fought too long and too hard for the right to vote to allow that history to be twisted and weaponized in this way.

Virginia voters deserve honesty and respect — not scare tactics by the “NO” campaigns designed to confuse voters and influence the outcome of this election.

We call on those responsible for these mailers to stop these deceptive tactics immediately and allow Virginians to make their decision without misinformation or intimidation

We are voting YES, and we are encouraging Virginians to do the same by April 21 to stop Trump’s power grab and level the playing field.”

Virginians deserve the chance to level the playing field — not an election distorted by Donald Trump’s misinformation and MAGA dark money interests.

Early voting for the referendum started March 6 and ends April 18. Election Day is April 21. Virginians can find their voting information at iwillvote.com.
