Virginia Forum with Andy Ngo

Richmond, VA
07:00 PM

If you have registered to attend the Virginia Forum, please check your inbox for the updated location or reach out to info@thevirginiacouncil.org with any questions.

 

Join The Virginia Council and our friends at Common Sense Society (CSS) for the inaugural Virginia Forum featuring Andy Ngo, editor-at-large for The Post Millennial, and author of New York Times bestseller Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy. Ngo’s award-winning investigative journalism through 2020-2021 uncovered connections between Antifa and the riots happening in Portland, Oregon and Richmond, Virginia.

He continues that work today, exposing the ties between Antifa and other ideological movements—many of which are threatening civil discourse and the rule of law in the Commonwealth.

The Virginia Council is made up of Virginians who are passionate about confronting these threats and promoting the values and traditions that make our communities thrive.

Hundreds of concerned (yet motivated) citizens joined us at our February 2023 event, featuring a thoughtful conversation about free speech between The War on the West author Douglas Murray and Richmond WRVA host and The Virginia Council founding chairman John Reid. We look forward to continuing that momentum. Register today and be a part of building a more prosperous Virginia.

Sponsorships are available here. If you prefer to sponsor by check, please make your check out to The Virginia Council and mail to us at: 118 King St., Alexandria, VA 22314.

 

Note that tickets will NOT be available for purchase at the door. Please be prepared to present a photo I.D. at registration.

He is also an award-winning host of one of America’s longest running morning shows at NewsRadio WRVA in Richmond.

He was also elected and served as the president of the bi-partisan U.S. Senate Press Secretaries Association.
