2morrow brings #hope as I patiently await #Valeg to meet & finalize a budget that benefits ALL of #Virginia My greatest hope is they continue to stand behind ESC as it was passed & make it right for those who #EARNED it. Please take 90secs to know my why!
After K-9 Is Stabbed and Kicked to Death, PETA Urges Officials to Keep Dogs out of Prisons peta.org/media/news-rel… via @peta
The governor vetoed HB1244/SB719, a bill aimed at putting an end to prolonged solitary confinement. I see how you move, Attorney General Miyares. When the branches of government cross lines, constituents and advocates will have an unfavorable outcome every time! @OnSolitary…
Youngkin himself has said “Overdoses have claimed the lives of far too many Virginians, devastating families & communities…we must continue to combat opioid abuse & overdoses with action.” Despite his lip service, Youngkin’s HB161 veto guarantees more people will needlessly die.

“Justice Forward Virginia does not believe that the lock-them-up, throw-away-the-key method is really what’s keeping people feel safe in their communities.” 4/4
“VA may no longer be a Confederate state, but ... our constitution that was put in place to suppress the voting rights of newly enfranchised Black citizens [post-Civil War] is still oppressing Virginians today,” says ACLU-VA's @v_agraharkar. So we sued. loom.ly/YZxfAtQ
We are keeping people tethered to the court system and unable to move forward with their lives, well after they paid their debt to society. People are also being held in custody awaiting their revocation hearing for longer than the maximum sentence that they could receive.
My bill HB1252 passed the House w/62 votes. This would’ve fixed a loophole in our probation law that has resulted in increased jail time for nonviolent technical violations. Holding people in jail for months/years on nonviolent, technical violations does not improve public safety

. @GovernorVA shamelessly vetoed 22 critical common sense justice reform bills yesterday, including my HB45 and HB161, which both had bipartisan support and would have built a better community for ALL Virginians. richmond.com/news/state-reg…
Thousands of incarcerated Virginians are serving time in jail prior to DOC transfer. HB 45 (which was fully funded in the budget), clarified that the credits earned from good behavior behind ANY wall, should indeed be included in total ESC calculations. Youngkin is wrong to veto.
Youngkin has said, “Overdoses have claimed the lives of far too many Virginians, devastating families and communities … we must continue to combat opioid abuse and overdoses with action.” Despite his lip service, Youngkin’s HB161 veto guarantees more people will needlessly die.
Dear freshman legislators whose bills--esp ones you worked to earn bipartisan support on--have been vetoed by this lame Gov, please know that YOU did the right things; let this just put a fire in your belly to keep coming back & let's all work to elect a GOOD Governor in 2025!
So, Governor does not believe in criminal justice reform, in any form or fashion. No redemption for anyone, even juveniles under the age of 11. SB23 had nothing to do with gangs, but if you want a bogeyman I guess you can always find one. Suffer the little children…

If the Director of VADOC wants to end overdoses within the facility walls, HB161 MUST pass. Like, Share, email and call Governor Youngkin. Tell him to help Chadwick Dotson save lives. #prioritizepeoplenow
These are just a few reasons VADOC needs Independent Oversight. #prioritizepeoplenow
Narratives needed from those Impacted by Solitary Confinement. Tell the Governor Virginians don't want this tortureous act to continue. #prioritzepeoplenow @OnSolitary
