Our Major Areas of Focus
At Virginia Interfaith Center, our priorities reflect the voices and needs of communities across the Commonwealth. From ensuring every child has access to early education, to advancing racial and economic justice, to protecting the dignity of workers and immigrants, we work where our shared values call us to act. Each priority area represents a commitment to building a more just and compassionate Virginia—one policy, one partnership, and one community at a time.
Healthy Communities
We champion accessible, affordable healthcare for every Virginian. Quality care shouldn’t depend on zip code or income. It’s a fundamental right that strengthens our entire community.
Economic Justice
Virginia’s economy should work for everyone. We fight for living wages and affordable, quality childcare that allow workers to support their families with dignity and creating prosperity that reaches every corner of our state.
Criminal Justice Reform
We’re building a justice system rooted in compassion and equity. By ending mass incarceration and reforming outdated practices, we can create safer communities while treating all people with humanity.
Affordable Housing
Every Virginian deserves a stable home. We work to expand housing options and protect tenants’ rights, ensuring families can afford to live and thrive in their communities.
Civic Engagement
Democracy works best when everyone participates. We provide the tools and resources Virginians need to make their voices heard and shape the future of their state.
