Your voice matters! The York River Group of the Sierra Club encourages you to make your opinion heard in Virginia politics, especially regarding bills that impact environmental justice and equity, pollution, sea level rise, and climate change.
First step: learn what is happening with bills in the Virginia General Assembly. This is particularly important in the months leading up to and during each year's session, which begins the second Wednesday each January. Some helpful websites are:

On the second site above, you can click on "Bills & Resolutions: Status of individual bills and related information", to look up specific bills. There are many other helpful links on this website as well, including calendars and information about leglislation sponsors.
Second step: contact your Virginia representatives, and tell them what you think. Find them via:

(For your representatives in the Virginia General Assembly, you want to know your State Delegate and State Senator.)
