The Virginia Grassroots Coalition press call a few minutes ago (see video, below) highlighted legislative priorities for the 2021 Virginia General Assembly session. According to a press release from the Coalition (“formed in April 2017…made up of more than 50 Indivisible, Swing Left, Huddle, Our Revolution, and other groups”):
Representing more than 10,000 Virginia voters, the Coalition’s main priorities for the 2021 General Assembly session are to:
- Promote fairness and transparency in our elections and politics.
- Create environmentally healthy communities and protect against the impact of climate change.
- Make Virginia safer and healthier for all, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Promote equity, support our workforce, and advance the rights of all Virginia residents.
Joining with the Virginia Grassroots Coalition are:
- Del. Mark Levine patron of a bill on the National Popular Vote
- Sen. Boysko patron of a bill on Paid Family Medical Leave
- Del. Guzman patron of a bill on Paid Sick Leave
