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!

Another #GOP boondoggle -

#Virginia court freezes order that Virginia’s return to #RGGI (Regional #GreenhouseGas Initiative) while #VAgov Youngkin (R) appeals lower court ruling he acted illegally when he took the state out of the regional carbon-trading program.

Virginians lose out on millions in funding for #energy efficiency & flood preparedness.

It is very early days, but I have written two draft submissions to allow safer and more affordable #MissingMiddle homes in #Virginia which I intend to submit for public consideration next month as soon as that becomes possible. Thanks to bsky.app/profile/stephenjacobs for doing the work at the national level to make this much more possible here. #BuildingCodeReform
