Recent Progress.

- Raising the minimum wage, establishing access to collective bargaining for public employees, and fighting wage theft
- Prohibiting COVID-19 related price-gouging and utility disconnections during the public emergency while passing bills to help tenants and homeowners
- Capping interest rates on short term loans, including sending Virginia’s top predatory loan company packing
- Investing in education, including increasing per pupil funding and freezing college tuition
- Addressing climate change through the Virginia Clean Economy Act and making Virginia a part of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)
- Creating new non-discrimination protections in housing and employment for LGBTQ Virginians
- Expanding access to reproductive healthcare
