AAUW Priorities in Va. General Assembly

Photo

This is a busy time for our Virginia Assembly. The short session (45 days) started on January 11 and will continue until February 25, 2023.

The following legislative and policy priorities for AAUW of Virginia are those we are focusing on  for the 2023 Virginia General Assembly legislative session and beyond:

  • Protect access to abortion and women’s right to make personal reproductive decisions with their medical care providers.
  • Eliminate systemic racism and sexism through changes to Virginia law and regulations.
  • Make child care affordable and readily available for all families.
  • Protect full access to voting.
  • Ensure full public-school funding and protect teachers from harassment and liability claims.

This committee will try to keep you informed about the bills that are of interest to AAUW members. However, you can also keep track of bills by following this link. [Note: At the very top of the page is a button that reads: Click for Bill Tracking, Meetings, Who is my legislator?]

Virginia State AAUW Public Policy has also provided updates and more resources on the organization’s Public Policy Google drive. You can access it here, and it is not necessary to have a Google account to do so.

Below, we have posted the names and contact information for our senators and delegates.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact Carol Mournighan (clmourn at gmail.com) or Janet Taylor (taylor6840 at gmail.com.)
