On 4/13, Gov Spanberger added significant amendments to the collective bargaining bill that would water it down and delay it. Send a letter to your elected officials today telling them that we won’t accept our human rights being amended or delayed!

[Sen. Jennifer Carroll Foy @JCarrollFoy]

Bills shouldn’t die in darkness.

When Virginians had a vote, they overwhelmingly voted AGAINST the so-called Right to Work law.

ICYMI: Winsome Earle-Sears pledged to support corporate CEOs over hard-working Virginians.

Not surprising from the candidate who
❌ Wants to lower wages
❌ Opposes paid family leave
❌ Cheers when Trump fires Virginians
❌ Opposes the freedom to collectively bargain

Virginia Governor Youngkin vetoed bills that would have raised the minimum wage and expanded collective bargaining for public employees. We need to let him know that we won’t fighting until all workers have collective bargaining, family supporting wages and dignified conditions!

[TCI @TCIFiscal]

A House bill to #RaiseTheWageVa to $15 by 2027 (via Del. @JeionWard) passed the Senate!

This choice would support nearly 365,000 people, their families & their local economies... you know, IF the gov signs it. #VaLeg
