Roanoke County GOTV Canvassing
2025-05-04 07:00 - 11:30 | Roanoke County – location will change
As you know, there is a lot at stake in this election. That’s why the Roanoke County Democratic Committee is knocking on 5,000 doors of left leaning voters to encourage them to cast their ballots. This election is too important so we can’t afford for anyone to sit it out!
Can we count on you to volunteer for the canvass and make this election successful? Volunteering will have a bigger impact than your vote alone.
This is a reoccurring in-person, active event so please bring your walking shoes! A different Roanoke County neighborhood will be canvassed every other week. For more information regarding which neighborhood please contact info@rocodems.com.
A simple script is provided to help guide the conversation with voters. No previous canvass experience is required!

May Day Roanoke Protest
2025-05-01 14:30 - 15:30 | River’s Edge South Sports Complex, Franklin Road Southwest & Wiley Drive Southwest, Roanoke
Across the country—from fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta—working people are rising up. We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes—public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, housing over homelessness.
Musk, Trump and their fellow profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom—on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself. They want to erase labor rights, break our unions, and silence immigrant voices.
May Day 2025 we are standing united. We’re organizing for a world where every family has housing, healthcare, fair wages, union protection, and safety—regardless of race, zip code, or immigration status.
They’re defunding our schools, privatizing public services, attacking unions, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence. This is a war on working people—and we will not stand down.
This May Day, we will turn the page. This is the beginning of a new era—one where working families lead, immigrants are protected, and no one is left behind. This is not charity. This is not a request. We are reclaiming our power from corporate elites, and we will not be intimidated by Trump, Musk, or their billionaire backers. They’ve ruled for too long. Their time is up.
STOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER. WE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW. THIS IS MAY DAY. JOIN US.

Worker's Memorial Day Roanoke Event
2025-04-27 13:00 - 14:00 | Martin Luther King , Jr. Memorial, 1st St NW, Roanoke
Join union members, labor leaders, elected officials and allies as we gather at Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial in downtown Roanoke for a Workers Memorial Day event, to remember those who have died and suffered illnesses or injuries on the job—including Virginians—in the past year.
The event will feature speakers sharing how workers and the labor movement won safety protections over time by demanding the government hold corporations accountable to protect workers on the job and organizing for safer working conditions. Speakers will also highlight how hard-won progress is at serious risk as President Trump threatens to cut staff, defund or outright eliminate federal job safety agencies, which would have critical effects on Virginia’s funding and our working people
