In 2021, The Hometown Project is expanding our electoral work to more hometowns across the country. We’re returning to Virginia to support candidates in the House of Delegates who will help defend and grow the progressive majority. The gubernatorial race for the primary and general is already underway, and will certainly be highly competitive. There is also a ton of important progressive legislation at stake, including gun reform, voting rights, increasing the minimum wage, legalizing cannabis, and continuing efforts to respond to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic from a healthcare and economic recovery perspective.

We also are exploring expanding our involvement in New Jersey, Kentucky, Mississippi and possibly Louisiana. There are so many artists and activists that hail from these regions that are eager to energize their hometown communities.

In 2021 we will also actively begin to fundraise for 2022 initiatives with the hopes of building on our work and partnerships in Michigan, Arizona, Minnesota, Missouri, Texas, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, as well as explore involvement in states like New Hampshire, Colorado, and Nevada in the crucial 2022 midterm election year.
