Collective Bargaining Rights
​Yes for Collective Bargaining for Virginia’s Public Service Workers
Everyone who works to serve and protect Virginia communities deserves the freedom to collectively bargain.
Our frontline public service workers should have the right to negotiate together to get what they need to serve us better.
Right now, thousands of workers — including firefighters, teachers, home care workers, emergency responders, campus workers, and social workers — can’t speak up together to advocate for safer, stronger public services.
When public workers can collectively bargain, everyone in Virginia benefits. Students learn better in smaller classes with more teachers. First responders can save more lives with modern equipment. Families receive better care when home care workers have training and health care benefits. House Bill 2764 and Senate Bill 917 will finally give our public service workers the right to negotiate for the tools they need to better support us. Tell Governor Youngkin to sign these bills now—because when public service workers have a voice, Virginia is stronger for all of us.

Raise The Wage
Tell Governor Youngkin to SIGN legislation on Raising the Wage, to guarantee Virginians have a livable wage.
​
No one who works full time should have to live in poverty. A consumer-based economy simply doesn’t work if people have no disposable income. Increasing the minimum wage helps workers, local economies and communities alike.

GUARANTEE THE RIGHT TO VOTE
Tell lawmakers to vote "YES" on HJ 2/ SJ 248, to guarantee Virginians the right to universal suffrage/the right to vote.
​
Denying the right to vote based on a felony conviction is racist in its origin, intent, and execution. At the 1902 Constitutional Convention when felony disenfranchisement was adopted, lawmakers talked openly about using this law to “eliminate the ignorant and worthless negro as a factor from politics of this State without taking the right of suffrage from a single white man.” It has done its intended job of blocking generations of Black people from the vote.
HJ 2/ SJ 248 will remove it and ensure that every Virginia citizen over the age of 18 can vote.
