About:

Monday, January 19, 2026 (MLK Jr. Day) we have our first opportunity to make our voices heard by participating in Advocacy Day during the 2026 Virginia General Assembly Session. We need your help telling Adam’s story to state legislators. And we need your voices to help us demand the General Assembly take meaningful action to reduce gun violence. 

 

What is Advocacy Day?

In short, it’s a day to speak directly with members of the Virginia Senate and the House of Delegates about the bills they’ll be voting on during the session. We anticipate a number of bills relating to gun violence will be introduced this session, and it’s important that our legislators know how our community has been impacted by this issue. Advocacy Day presents an excellent opportunity for our community to show up in force and demand change. 

 

How to Participate?

Show up. On Monday, January 19, 2026 we’ll be organizing a group to meet at the Virginia State Capitol (1000 Bank Street, Richmond, VA 23219). We’ll meet up with other advocates (like Virginians for Change), and head into the Capitol building. There will be a session, an opportunity to meet with legislators (for those comfortable doing so), as well as vigil and speeches outside the Capitol.
