About PPUVA

The Peninsula Peoples Union of Virginia is a community portal connecting civic organizations, independent media, and engaged residents across the Virginia Peninsula.

We believe that informed, connected communities are powerful communities. PPUVA aggregates local news, amplifies the work of grassroots organizations, and provides tools for civic engagement — from city council coverage to volunteer coordination.

Our Geography

We serve the Virginia Peninsula: Hampton, Newport News, and the greater Williamsburg area. Our focus is hyperlocal — the issues, organizations, and people that shape life on this side of the water.

Our Principles

• Non-partisan. We cover issues, not parties. Power is accountable to people, not platforms.
• Community-first. We center the voices and needs of Peninsula residents.
• Transparency. Public decisions deserve public scrutiny.
• Solidarity. Stronger together. We lift up the organizations doing the work.
• Independence. We are not affiliated with any political party, government body, or corporate interest.
