LEARN about the Legislative Process

The "process" is said to be a bit like sausage - you don't want to watch it being made. However, within what seems to be a myriad of rules and procedures is a clearly developed path for ensuring government fulfills its duties. The Virginia Interfaith Center educates hundreds of congregations and individuals each year on the inner-workings of state government. Start your learning by examining the "process." <click>

At-Risk Children and Youth - Promote the well being of at-risk children and youth

Criminal Justice - Provide adequate defense of indigent defendants and the abolishment of the death penalty, particularly as it relates to juveniles

Health Care Access - Extend physical and mental health care to all Virginians

Housing and Homelessness - Reduce chronic homelessness and increase the availability of low-cost housing for transitional individuals and families

Poverty and the Working Poor - Reduce the number of families living in poverty and increase the fairness of wage and benefit compensation

Tax Justice and Equity - Reform Virginia's tax code to reduce regressivity, provide adequate funds for services, and promote fairness for all Virginians
