Join us #today at @RISEforYouth's "Conversations Around the Commonwealth" in #Charlottesville, where we'll discuss youth involvement in the justice system, schools, gun violence, and more. We want to listen to our youth's perspective! RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/events/risefor…
We are grateful to the GA and @thedrmikejones for this vote! The amendments would have added a $10 fee to those requesting an itemized list of how much they owe in court fines and fees. Adding new fees will only create additional barriers to the transparency of court debt.
We are proud to be among the 104 organizations that sent a letter to Congress to support FTC CARS Rule. This rule will bring long overdue relief to car buyers tired of dishonest pricing and pave a path for the FTC to pursue future rulemakings to regulate car dealers.

For the first time in history, HB157–bill that includes farmworkers in the VA Minimum Wage Act– passed the General Assembly. We are close to right a historical wrong for these essential workers. Let's take action and tell Governor Youngkin to Sign HB157➡️ justice4all.org/what-we-do/wor…
Now that the 2024 General Assembly Session has officially ended, we are happy to see so many of our priority bills heading to the governor's desk for him to hopefully sign. You can read more about what's at stake here➡️ justice4all.org/news/lajcs-pri…
ICYMI: on Saturday the VA House and Senate passed the conference budget! This budget includes some big investments in our public schools and, by extension, our youth. It's now headed to the governor to be signed, amended, or vetoed. Read our statement: fundourschoolsva.org/statement-on-t…
Today, #HB157, bill that allows farmworkers to receive minimum wage, passed out of Senate with critical support. Now, @GovernorVA has the unique opportunity to right a historical wrong for #farmworkers in VA. Thanks to @AdeleMcClure_, @PhilforVirginia, and everyone involved!
HB824, which aims to eliminate counsel fees for those the court has deemed indigent, and HB857, bill to reduce time court debt can be collected to 10 years, passed out of Senate! Thanks to @PhilforVirginia, @Rae_Cousins23 and everyone involved for their efforts on these bills!
Good news! HB612–bill that requires courts to count community service work to offset court debt while incarcerated– and HB614–bill to give people with court debt more time to pay before being sent to collections– passed out of Senate! Thanks to @DelCiaPrice85 for her leadership!
ACTION ALERT: If you live in Virginia please urge Governor Youngkin to Sign HB 1420/SB 23 Into Law to Create a Minimum Age of 11 for a Child to be Arrested/Criminally Prosecuted: @RISEforYouth @LegalAidJustice votervoice.net/HRFK/Campaigns…

Court costs, #FinesAndFees for young people are bad policy! These push youth & families further into poverty & the legal system. As an insufficient revenue source, impacts can be felt by the very gov't imposing them. SB 481/HB 1263 is a better path forward for young people.
✅GOOD: SB332, a bill that would help immigrants in Virginia avoid potential deportation for misdemeanors, passed the Senate with a 21-19 vote, and now heads to the House. Virginia is for everyone. ❤️ Kudos to @SalimVASenate for leading the effort. #VALeg #GA2024
