Arlington resident Celeste Greenwood stood up during the question-and-answer session at a panel during the Women’s Convention this weekend and energetically plugged the Virginia gubernatorial race on Nov. 7. She urged her fellow progressives in the room to pay attention to the election and volunteer to contact potential Virginia voters from their home states in the coming days. The Women’s Convention, which attracted more than 4,000 attendees from around the country, focused more broadly on progressive issues and strategies for organizing against President Trump. But in the hallways of the convention center in Detroit, some women made sure that their fellow activists knew what was at stake in Virginia. Unlike Virginia, the New Jersey race is not considered competitive.
