Gen Y Virginia

Began in fall 2017 as a vehicle for promoting Progressive Millennial VA candidates. After election, I still want to be an advocate for our young progressives.

@ChrisHurstVA OK Del. Hurst get your NoVA jokes in if you must, but I want to make clear, 99% of NoVA-ians cannot afford to eat in this restaurant. I know people love to think everyone in NoVA's rich, but the truth is more complicated.
You are still funny on twitter though, so whatever.

I’m excited to share that I’m exploring a run for Attorney General of Virginia in 2021, and I wanted to let you know why.

States must lead the way. We need to institute an all vote-by-mail system in Virginia.

@GovernorVA @VHDA Governor, evictions should be on hold for as long as the shutdown lasts. Doesn't make sense to have different deadlines, April 26 for renters, June 10 for the rest of the state.

[Gen Y Virginia @VirginiaGenY17]

@GovernorVA Governor, you're going to need to hire a lot more people to answer unemployed people's calls for unemployment checks. Hearing reports of people on hold for hours and not getting through to someone. #AskGovNortham
Thank you.

When we are through this crisis, there should be a monument built in DC with the names of all the health care providers who gave their lives helping others. Should always be remembered and honored for generations.

[David Broder @Broder512]

If you classify your workers as “essential,” but deny them a living wage and union rights, you’re doing it wrong. Very, very wrong.

[David Broder @Broder512]

Virginia corporate lobbyists should spend one single day as a home care provider or grocery store worker during a pandemic.

Then we can ask them whether they still believe the min wage should be 7.25 and workers don’t deserve paid sick days.

[Sen. Jennifer Carroll Foy @JCarrollFoy]

Yesterday, I called on Governor Northam to take additional steps to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

[Sen. Jennifer Carroll Foy @JCarrollFoy]

There are families working 40/hrs a week making $14,000/yr. Today we changed that. Virginians should be able to work one job and make a living. Everyone deserves access to the American dream. We are closing the income inequality gap. A win for the people!

[Delegate Adele McClure @AdeleMcClure_]

So let’s not forget that while for some youth, minimum wage jobs are an opportunity to learn work ethic, begin building their resume, & earn expendable income, for other youth they are also a necessity, needed to help pay for rent, food, and basic human subsistence.

Proud to Chief co-patron the CROWN Act in VA to ban racial discrimination based on traits historically associated with race, including hair texture, hair type, and protective hairstyles such as braids, locks, and twists. #EndDiscrimination

Black Women AGAIN are silenced... today many celebrated the redistricting reform in VA, all while ignoring @PriceForDel95 HB1255 which REALLY got rid of gerrymandering in VA. GIVE HER HER PROPS!!! #BlackWomenLeaders
