We need your help to reach our goal!
I’m sure you experienced some of the same feelings we did after the 2014 elections- disappointment, anxiety, disgust- and, of course, things went from bad to worse during the following legislative session. So many bad bills were introduced, it was hard to keep up with them all! Now is the time for us to really dig in and ramp up our efforts to reverse this attack on working families. Over the coming months we will be leading the efforts to engage voters and energize our progressive base. More

Week 5: Halfway
Thursday was the halfway point in this session and we are fast approaching the last day to introduce bills in the Senate (Monday, February 23) and House (Tuesday, February 24). So far 1,243 bills have been introduced. The week started with a great press conference on protecting our water with speakers from WV Environmental Council member groups, the WV Council of Churches, and Charleston NAACP - all calling for keeping our drinking water clean and safe, and opposing legislation to roll back protections. Our water warrior, Karan Ireland, moderated the event and gave a strong personal testimony to kick it off. More
