Thanks for your letter, Barbara! Virginia Organizing is non-partisan and members have lots of objections to this bill. Many of us object to the majority in both parties agreeing to fast-track the Mountain Valley Pipeline and add work requirements to SNAP and TANF benefits. Democrats as well as Republicans have pushed to get the MVP built, in spite of the terrible harm it will do to communities in its path and to the planet.Fortunately, Senator Tim Kaine and Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan have added amendments to remove the MVP from the deal. We want Senator Warner to vote for the amendment. Please contact him today! The Congressional switchboard is 202-224-3121.Barbara B. Edward's Letter to the Editor in The Virginian-Pilot, Wednesday, May 23, 2023. Thank you, Barbara! ... See MoreSee Less

The federal government must raise the country's debt limit by June 1 in order to avoid a default and economic crisis that would follow. Unfortunately, the House majority has made budget cuts a key condition. They want to cut child care, Medicare, Social Security, food programs, education, student debt forgiveness, rail safety, veterans benefits, and more.Over the next week, President Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy must reach a deal. Our job is to make sure our elected officials push for the best deal possible.Please call your member of Congress today and urge them to support a debt ceiling plan that works for all of us, not just the richest and most well-connected. You can call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected to your representative directly. ... See MoreSee Less
