The Work of Citizens

VOICE leader Laurie Forbes and 25 other VOICE leaders from Emmaus UCC, Accotink UUC and UUCA hold a meeting with Senator Howell in the hallway. Throughout the VA General Assembly there will be teams of VOICE leaders from VOICE's 45 member congregations going to Richmond to move VOICE's 3 Key State issues:

1. Stop the draconian practice of suspending driver's licenses solely for unpaid court fee (there are over 600,000 Virginians affected by this issue);
2. $36 million downpayment to bring VA into line with the national recommended 1:250 counselor-to-student ratio & ensure counselors have time to counsel;
3. $20 million in new money for state Housing Trust Fund.
