Dear ,

Today marks the final day of Kwanzaa, a cultural celebration derived from a Swahili phrase meaning "first fruits." Kwanzaa centers on seven principles known as Nguzo Saba, which highlight cherished standards within African and African American culture. This seventh day celebrates Imani, "faith”, which means "to believe with all our hearts in our people and the righteousness and victory of our struggle." 

In that spirit of faith and perseverance, we invite you to join us in the continued fight for justice at Day for All People on January 21, 2026 at Centenary United Methodist Church (411 E Grace St, Richmond, VA). Today is also your last opportunity to take advantage of our early bird registration fee of just $30.00. 

This year's event offers something for everyone. In addition to legislative visits, you'll have your choice of engaging workshops, including: 

• Social Determinants of Health 

• Economic Justice is Environmental Justice 

• Justice System – Myth vs. Reality 

• Taking it Home to Your Community and Congregation 

• Fighting for Justice: Social Media and Story Telling 

• What's Your Why? 

Click here for a detailed description of each workshop. 

We're also thrilled to feature a special panel on the power of intergenerational voices in the fight for justice, bringing together advocates and justice champions from across Virginia. 

Don't Wait - Register Today! 

We're capping registration at 450 participants, and with this level of interest, on-site registration may not be available this year. Secure your spot now before early bird pricing ends tonight! 

In Solidarity, 

Keisha

Caring for the sick and vulnerable among us is part of our mission as people of faith and goodwill. Unfortunately, too many Virginians cannot take a sick day without losing income or their job. In Virginia, 41 percent of private sector workers (1.2 million workers) have no paid sick days (or PTO).  

Take action today! Please add your name to VICPP’S Paid Sick Days Sign-on Letter urging all Virginia legislators to make Paid Sick Days a reality for 1.2 million Virginians in 2026. 

Join us for a powerful day of advocacy, learning, and action! This event is designed to equip students with the tools to make real change in Virginia.

We are deeply grateful to our incredible sponsors for making Day for All People possible. Your support helps us bring communities together, amplify voices, and create meaningful change.
