The kite event has been rescheduled to next week on Sunday, March 23 from 2-4pm due to a 1-2 inch rain forecast. 🚨

Join VFP757 for our 1 Year chapter anniversary by flying some kites with the local community while advocating for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the West Bank. We need to stand together to say no to ethnic cleansing and genocide.

When: Sunday March 23, 2025, 2-4pm (not the 16th) Where: Mt. Trashmore, top of the hill. (310 Edwin Dr, Virginia Beach, VA)

We will be providing some blank and pre-decorated kites, feel free to bring your own kites to fly as well. Can’t wait to see y’all there, let’s have some fun and bring awareness to important issues and peace.

The pictures attached in the original post are from this last October’s kite flying event. We had a decent show up and everybody loved it! If you still have your kite from that day, bring it if you can!

 

HAMPTON ROADS STANDS WITH IMMIGRANTS: Join us on March 23rd for a community event in Norfolk where we will talk about how we can all support and defend our immigrant neighbors.

The event will be at the restaurant Luna Maya. It is free and open to allies and immigrants alike, with English and Spanish presentations.

We will discuss knowing your rights with ICE, (for both immigrants and allies) how businesses and community members can protect immigrants, RISC’s rapid response network, and other critical information.

This event is hosted by the Refugee & Immigrant Solidarity Coalition, the Latinx Law Students Association and the Immigration Law & Service Society at William & Mary, the Virginia Coalition of Latino Organizations, and the Chamber for Hispanic Progress.

We plan to provide refreshments, and Know Your Rights materials will be available for attendees to take home!

Newport News school board has adopted Governor Youngkin's Model Policies, policy that forces teachers to out students to their parents and school administration if they request their teachers to use pronouns or names other than those assigned at birth. We must fight these policies to protect trans youth.
