Some fights can’t wait.
When democracy is under threat,
VCET steps in.
We are the strategic force behind Virginia’s progressive movement ecosystem, working to protect our democracy, ensure that voting rights are safe, civic voices are amplified, and the next generation of leaders is ready to take action.
What We Do
We exist to build a more just, inclusive democracy in Virginia. As a trusted convener and capacity-builder, VCET strengthens the power of grassroots movements, uplifts BIPOC communities, and ensures that everyone has a voice in shaping our future.
Protect Democracy
We defend and expand democratic access by fighting voter suppression, advancing election protection, and ensuring all Virginians, especially BIPOC communities, can fully participate in civic life.
Develop Leaders
We invest in values-driven leaders through programs like VAPLP, building the skills, confidence, and networks needed to shift power and create lasting change in communities across Virginia.
Build Power
We convene, lead and support a vibrant network of organizations, coalitions, and advocates working together to build people-powered movements and win progressive change statewide.
