resources for those affected by trump administration policies
I have been closely following the challenging developments in Washington that are causing significant hardships for our community and our country. Congressman Don Beyer and Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine have been outspoken advocates for those unjustly targeted by Trump. In order to support our large concentration of federal workers, immigrant communities, and LGBTQ individuals, I have put together this webpage with a list of helpful resources.
