Support Jason Melendez in Building a More Compassionate Commonwealth

Progress isn’t promised—it’s fought for. I learned that lesson from my great-grandparents, who endured Jim Crow in Virginia, and I've carried it through every chapter of my life.

From organizing an award-winning youth mental health campaign as a Chesterfield County student, to connecting working-class Virginians with good-paying jobs, to fighting for civil and human rights as a local human rights commissioner, I've proven that bold leadership and relentless organizing can deliver real change. As one of the youngest legislative aides at the General Assembly, I helped advance nearly 30 bills on healthcare, justice reform, and child welfare to address the issues that matter to Virginians.

I'm continuing to step up to build a more just, inclusive Virginia for all—but I can’t do it alone. Your contribution today will power the grassroots movement that keeps progress alive for the next generation. Will you join me in building a more compassionate Commonwealth where every Virginian can thrive?
