We want an economy that works for all of us, not just the wealthy few. Virginians deserve a fair and equitable tax system that advances racial justice, stronger worker protections, and a living wage so families can thrive and invest in the future. We support legislation that will:
- Increase Virginia's minimum wage to at least $15.00 per hour to support low-wage workers
- Strengthen the state's Earned Income Tax Credit by making it fully refundable
- Expand access to comprehensive paid family and medical leave
- Eliminate corporate tax loopholes to ensure that corporations pay their fair share
- Legalize marijuana and use a portion of the tax revenue to provide grants to Black entrepreneurs to enter the market
- Repeal anti-worker policies that limit workers' ability to collectively bargain for better wages, benefits, and working conditions
- Establish worker protections so employees do not live in fear of losing their jobs due to their gender identity or sexual orientation
- Ensure that all workers receive equal pay for equal work regardless of sex, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
