They need to hear your voice and know your concerns. Who? The General Assembly of VA. The Virginia General Assembly is in session right now and considering several bills that would have a significant impact on our game changer agenda. From Economic Sustainability to Education, from Criminal Justice to Political Representation- this General Assembly has legislation before it that can move forward or push back our pursuit for equality. Therefore, we need you to get involved and take some time to let your voice be heard. Please find attached the legislative agenda of the VSC of the NAACP, which was developed in collaboration of a number of other advocacy organizations- such as National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Baptist General Convention, and the UFCW Local 400. Review this list and then e-mail, call, and go to Richmond to talk with your delegates and senators about these bills.
On the 26th of January (next Tuesday), the VSC of the NAACP will host its Legislation Day. The purpose of this event is for the NAACP to mass on the General Assembly to engage our elected officials concerning our legislative agenda. We would like to have at least 20 members of the unit to attend and represent the PWC NAACP.
Beyond the events on the 26th, we would like to have three members a week to go to Richmond and talk with the legislators on these issues. More information will be forthcoming to identify persons that will go and let our voice be heard.
Respectfully,
Karl F Brower
