No Kings Protest
2025-06-14 08:00 - 09:30 | Elmwood Park, 505 Williamson Rd, Roanoke, VA, 24153, United States
In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.
🚨On Saturday, June 14, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.🚨
The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.
On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings. Check out nokings.org for more information.
A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

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!

Kaine Connects
2025-06-23 06:30 - 10:00 | South County Library, 6303 Merriman Rd, Roanoke, VA, 24018, United States
Dear friend,
One of my top priorities is to stay plugged in with Virginians across our commonwealth to hear their thoughts about the issues that matter most to them, and to help make a difference—large or small—in people’s lives. From helping iron out an issue with a Social Security disability claim, to directing you toward more information about affordable housing resources, my office is here to help.
That’s why I want to make sure you know that on Monday, June 23, my office will host what we call “Kaine Connects” at the South County Library in Roanoke from 10:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This is an opportunity for you to meet with a member of my staff in your community to either share your thoughts or get personalized attention regarding any issues you are experiencing with a federal agency or program.
For more information about how my office can help you with a federal agency, click here.>>>
Please make an individual appointment by emailing Fariha Sehar at Fariha_Sehar@kaine.senate.gov. Walk-in visitors will be accommodated upon staff availability.
If you’d like to receive updates on my work in the U.S. Senate, sign up here to receive my newsletters and follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Bluesky, and Instagram.

Deep Canvass Conversation Training
2025-08-30 06:00 - 08:00 | Melrose Library, 2502 Melrose Ave NW, Roanoke, VA, 24017
About this event

Work with us to help bridge the divide! Learn how to change hearts and minds, one conversation at a time.
What is Deep Canvassing?
Deep canvassing differs from traditional canvassing in a few ways. It:

centers issues, not candidates
aims for a 20-30 minute conversation, not short superficial interactions to confirm a vote or voting plan
enables canvassers to cut through cult of personality and partisan differences and create a lightbulb moment with voters
reconnects both canvasser and canvasee to deeper shared values of care for community

Read more here.
As a bonus, the skills you learn for deep canvassing door-to-door will help you talk to those you may have difficulty communicating with in your own life, like neighbors, coworkers, family.
So register now and invite your friends to join and learn with you!
