Yes! @SenLouiseLucas is leading the #FightFor15AndAUnion to end poverty wages in Virginia! Everyone deserves a living wage and a seat at the table through collective bargaining, and we’re gonna get it done in 2024!.
Senate Bill ONE (carried by me) and House Bill ONE are both to raise Virginia’s minimum wage because our number ONE priority this session is lifting working families out of poverty.

This crisis has forced us to reckon with a truth that's been just beneath the surface: working families don’t have what they need to thrive. Today, I'm launching my campaign for Governor of Virginia because we need a leader who won't back down in the fight for what’s right.
