Investing in the Stability and Economic Recovery of Northern Virginia
A Virtual Community Forum with Virginia State Officials
About The Community Forum
Ahead of the Virginia General Assembly’s August 18 special session, Cornerstones invited the community to join in our conversation with State leaders about their plans for stabilizing the economy and passing critically-needed legislation to ensure healthy, thriving, and equitable Northern Virginia communities. Many thanks to Senator Howell, Senator Boysko, Delegate Plum, and Delegate Samirah for generously donating their time to engage in conversation with us. We are grateful for their support and leadership. Many thanks also to Cheryl Simpkins, Tracey White, and E.W. Marshall-Washington for leading this important discussion, and to everyone that took time to participate in this forum and share questions.
We are proud to engage our community to foster understanding of plans at the state level to help rebuild and social stability in Northern Virginia communities. If you missed the opportunity to join us, as recording is available below. Our discussion focused on distancing learning and the digital divide, equity and the opportunity divide, and getting back to a living wage economy
