2 days out from one of the most important elections of 2023.

This is a big problem for democracy. [Courier: Democracy's Newsroom]( Hi, It’s the team of journalists here at Dogwood, a COURIER newsroom based in Virginia. We’re just two days out from one of the most consequential elections of 2023: The Virginia state legislative elections! [We’ve been working hard to make sure voters have accurate information about this high-stakes election and the candidates running for office. If you’d like to help us keep providing reliable journalism in battleground states like Virginia, will you pitch in $5 today?]( The outcome of our elections in Virginia on November 7 will have enormous implications — especially on reproductive access. Governor Glenn Youngkin has promised to ban abortion if Republicans take full control of the General Assembly. But although the stakes are high, too many communities across the country (including right here in Virginia) don’t have access to trustworthy local news coverage on the issues that matter. That leaves many voters unaware that there’s a local election happening — or even without the good coverage needed to help them make an informed decision on the ballot. That’s a big problem for democracy. That’s why COURIER is so important. Our Virginia-based team at Dogwood is busy reporting a range of eye-popping stories detailing what’s at stake, sharing critical voting information, and calling out the VA GOP’s lies and misinformation. [Collection of Dogwood headlines]( But here’s the deal: We have just TWO days left to get our stories in front of as many voters as possible across the Commonwealth. And because our journalism is and will always be free to our readers, we’re counting on supporters like you to help us get the word out.
