General Assembly 2019

Take Action: Support Codifying the Environmental Justice Council

Join VAIPL, clergy, people of faith, social justice advocates, and environmentalists to let your legislators in the 2019 General Assembly (GA) know that you believe everyone should live in a clean, safe, and healthy environment. Encourage your legislator to support codifying Virginia’s Advisory Council on Environmental Justice and to support additional measures that will expand environmental justice throughout Virginia!

VAIPL Priority Legislation

Recording: VAIPL 2019 Policy Briefing
Kendyl Crawford, VAIPL Director shared about the priority policies for VAIPL during the 2019 General Assembly Session. She highlighted upcoming action opportunities, important bills, and how you and your faith community can get involved. Listen or download a recording of the Monday, January 16 briefing.

To learn more about our legislative priorities during the 2019 GA session, take a look at our one-pager and check back periodically for updates.

VAIPL Rapid Action Team

If you’d like to receive opportunities for immediate action—including making phone calls & sending petitions to legislators—join the VAIPL Rapid Action Team Google Group.

Meetings with Your Legislators

We have created a leave behind one-pager for meetings with your delegate on HB 2696, an environmental justice bill. Find your delegate and their contact info using the Who’s My Legislator tool, and set up a meeting! (Tips for meeting your legislator can be found on page five in the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy’s Advocacy Toolkit.)
