I loved this thoughtful thread about good governance from @pwcdanica. As you read it, think about some of the things VA Democrats have achieved in just the past few years on issues ranging from gun safety to healthcare. They have truly transformed the state. https://twitter.com/pwcdanica/status/1326669980763623424
I got this list from a friend who works in VA politics:
In VA, Dems have done the following on gun safety: emergency risk protection orders, universal background checks, letting localities make laws, removing guns from abusers, among others

On Voting rights, VA Dems have achieved: 45 days no fault absentee voting, Election Day state holiday, automatic voter reg at DMVs, same day reg, & repealing photo ID
And it doesn't end there:
Environment: net zero emissions by 2045
LGBTQ: equality act (employment nondiscrimination)
Choice: repealing medically unnecessary restrictions

Ending hair discrimination in the work place!
& raising the minimum wage.
& raising the minimum wage.
I point all of this out b/c I think it's important to really reflect on the kind of change that is possible when people do the hard work to build coalitions. You can donate to Danica Roem here: https://twitter.com/pwcdanica/status/1326891686128209921
