There is still time to register to join Virginia Organizing and hundreds of people concerned about environmental justice to tell Governor Terry McAuliffe to put people over polluters! We will march on the Governor’s mansion for our land, clean air, and climate justice on Saturday, July 23. The march will start with a rally at noon on Brown’s Island in Richmond.

You can learn all the details of the March on the Mansion and sign up by clicking here. We even have buses and vans coming from all parts of Virginia — there are still a few seats left in some places!

I moved out of one of the most flooded cities into one of the most air polluted cities in Virginia and know the harmful effects of environmental damage. I have witnessed sea level rise and know the damage that flooding causes for our communities. I know that we need to act now to prevent more damage and change the course of environmental destruction.

Join me and hundreds of other Virginians on Saturday, July 23 from 12-3 p.m. in Richmond to demand that our government stop supporting big corporate polluters and start focusing on the needs of people directly affected by these harmful policies.

We’ve sent thousands of petitions, shown up at public events, and invited the Governor to tour our threatened homes, asking him to protect our land, air, and water, and to be a champion of truly clean energy. Our voices have not been heard yet — so we’re bringing those voices together right at his doorstep.

I look forward to seeing you on July 23!

Sincerely,
Jay Johnson
Newport News
State Governing Board
