In part 1 of this series we show that 70 years after the landmark Brown ruling, Va. students remain largely separated by race & class. While segregation is no longer mandated by law, it’s reinforced by school attendance zones & segregated housing patterns.

Happy Mother's Day. It's a moral outrage that we're the only industrialized country without paid family and medical leave.

There’s something happening in Louisiana right now that should be setting off alarm bells for people all over the country - but it hasn’t gotten nearly enough attention. 🧵

Today is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, & Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Mental Health Day! Our diverse AANHPI communities can face a multitude of barriers accessing care. We must continue working to close gaps & increase access to mental health treatment for all of our communities.

And a huge shoutout to our A+ scored Champions, Barbara Favola, Marcus Simon, Sen. Jennifer Carroll Foy, Ghazala Hashmi, Delegate Candi Mundon King, Jennifer Boysko for Congress, and Delegate Watts for joining us last night for our reveal event! Thank you for all that you do for Reproductive Freedom. 💜

Throughout May, VAAPIC will be hosting community events highlighting our diverse AAPI communities throughout the Commonwealth. We hope you will join us as we celebrate and honor AAPI Heritage Month! Email [email protected] for details.

Since Medicaid unwinding started in March 2023, nearly 425K people in #Virginia have lost coverage, incl. 192K for procedural reasons.

For the past 4 months, we've been working alongside legislators & advocates to pass the Contraceptive Equity Act. Now we have one last chance to put pressure on Governor Youngkin and make the pro-Reproductive Freedom majority heard.

What a wonderful launch of a celebratory #AANHPIHeritageMonth for Central Virginia. Thank you to the Asian American Society of Central Virginia and its collaborative partners for hosting another successful and fun-filled Asian American Heritage celebration in Richmond!

It’s easy to be cynical about politics and Congress

But then there is someone like Congresswoman Wexton who does her job honorably even under the most difficult circumstances

She is a reminder of what true public service looks like

I am so gratified that Civil Rights and justice champion Clarence Dunnaville joined us last night and shared the message of resilience and hope by reading the poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar:

If the hills are high before
And the paths are hard to climb,
Keep a-pluggin' away.

Richmond, y'all were not playing games!! The energy for Ghazala Hashmi's campaign for Lieutenant Governor is incredible.

She's got the record. She's got the perspective. And with all of our help, she's gonna get this next win!
