What we’re not gonna do is spend two years slow-walking this new majority into the next election season. That’s the old Virginian Way. We need to act boldly on the promises we made to make Virginia affordable, inclusive, & just. That’s how you keep a majority for the next decade.
We are going to reject the influence of Big Pharma and the insurance companies and pursue the goal of universal healthcare coverage in Virginia.
We are going to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and not a penny less.
We are going to build and pass an authentically Virginian Green New Deal.
We are going to legalize marijuana and expunge past records.
We are going to codify Roe v. Wade into law and make abortion a cheap and simple part of your healthcare coverage.
We are going to make it easier to vote than ever before and ensure marginalized communities finally have full access to the ballot.
We are going to confront exclusionary zoning, add to the housing trust fund, and create enough affordable housing for every Virginian.
We are going to ensure preK for every child in the Commonwealth regardless of family income.
We are going to finally invest in robust, clean public transit and leaders on getting Virginians out of their cars.
These goals are just *some* of the goals for our majority in the next two years. I will have no problem putting pressure on my colleagues in both parties. But we wont win without YOU at the table. We need your voice in Richmond to drown out the sound of corporate interests.
We need to keep the incredible grassroots energy that won us the election going into session. If you want to volunteer to be part of our team that will fight for real change come January, sign up here: samirah4delegate.com/join/
