Support Our Cause
Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Virginians and our future.
Since day one, our goal here at Dogwood has always been to empower people across the commonwealth with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governmentsβincluding who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Virginia familiesβthey will be inspired to become civically engaged.
