It is with great pleasure that we share Virginia Organizing’s legislative agenda for the 2011 General Assembly session.
Our 2011 legislative agenda includes the following priority issues:
• Protecting the citizens of Virginia from predatory lenders.
• Ending the cuts-only approach to addressing the revenue shortfall and enhancing our state revenue.
• Supporting progressive tax reform so that all citizens pay their fair share.
• Preventing all forms of discrimination for residents of Virginia.
• Expanding health care, child care subsidies and housing assistance for low-income families.
• Supporting comprehensive immigration reform that treats immigrants with dignity and fairness.
• Reforming our redistricting process through a nonpartisan or bipartisan commission.
• Automatically restoring the civil rights of felons who have completed the service of their sentences.
