Excessive force towards students who are protesting non-violently is unacceptable. The right to assemble peacefully is a hallmark of our democracy, which we must protect.

With reproductive rights under attack, it is crucial that we protect every Virginian's access to contraception.

This morning, I stood with Ghazala Hashmi to deliver over 37,000 signatures to Governor Glenn Youngkin urging him to sign the Right to Contraception Act.

Today, we hand-delivered a petition to the Governor with the signatures of over 37,000 Virginians supporting the Right to Contraception Act (SB237/HB609). It’s time for the Governor to sign this commonsense bill & protect access to all forms of contraception for Virginians.

Virginians shouldn’t have to choose between prescriptions and other necessities like rent and groceries. I voted for HB570 and SB274 to lower prescription drug costs this year, and I urge  Governor Glenn Youngkin to sign this crucial legislation.

Thank you to Richmond Education Association (REA) for hosting an important community conversation about school conditions, including mold, pest control, structural issues, and HVAC concerns. Our students, teachers, and faculty deserve to work and live in healthy and safe environments.

While Virginians struggle to afford basic needs, Youngkin and Republicans refuse to approve increases to the minimum wage. Remember this moment when they claim to stand for working families.
