NEW: The Supreme Court of Virginia ruled the Virginia Department of Corrections was wrong to withhold the sentence credits our client worked hard to earn. Today we're demanding VDOC to honor the credits of EVERYONE who’s eligible. Our letter here: loom.ly/_70kUrk
Our fight to bring more people home isn't over. We're pushing the Virginia Department of Corrections to apply the Supreme Court of Virginia's latest ruling on an earned sentence credit case to EVERYONE else who's eligible. Here's the latest: bit.ly/honor-esc
By interpreting the law wrong, the attorney general & VDOC have kept "people wrongfully incarcerated for months, if not YEARS, just b/c they wish the law were different," said ACLU of Virginia's @v_agraharkar. We're still fighting to bring everyone home. loom.ly/XgkwwA0
This is good news that recognizes what we've always known: schools must PROTECT, not discriminate against, trans young people. 🏳️⚧️ The U.S. Department of Education regulations will be effective this August. Learn more: bit.ly/doe-new-protec…
TURN OFF censorship! 📣 We can't let Meta limit our collective advocacy for a better Virginia.
"It’s the job of the attorney general & DOC to apply the law as it is, not invent an interpretation of the law as they wish it to be," says ACLU-VA's @v_agraharkar. We are thrilled the Court backed the promise our lawmakers made to people like our client. loom.ly/aUnWfbI

Update: we won, again! And we expect and hope this will lead to many, many people getting the earned sentence credits they rightfully earned and were wrongfully denied. x.com/ACLUVA/status/…
We were back before the Supreme Court this morning, arguing that Virginia DOC is wrongly imprisoning our client (and others like him) for years longer than appropriate, based on a clearly-incorrect interpretation of the earned sentence credit law.
BREAKING: An Ohio state court blocked a ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth from taking immediate effect. Families in the state will continue having access to care while our case continues.

“Virginia may no longer be a Confederate state, but the provision of our constitution that was specifically put in place to suppress the voting rights of newly enfranchised Black citizens after the Civil War is still oppressing Virginians today.”

This is a huge huge win!!!
Been working to pass independent oversight of @VADOC for over three years now. A couple years ago the bill didn’t make it out of its first subcommittee hearing. This year it was unanimous in both chambers and just got signed by the Governor. Biggest win of my career!

Charlottesville doesn't need more surveillance. But if Council is going forward, there are a lot of questions unanswered about how the city will regulate. We can't leave those questions to the for-profit vendor. @ACLUVA, @JusticeFwdVa, & @LegalAidJustice wrote this to Council:
payne says they conducted a straw poll on the flock cameras during the recess - he and oschrin opposed, but wade, pinkston, and snook supported it, so the pilot program is going to move forward.
🚨BREAKING: We just filed our lawsuit challenging Ohio's ban on gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors. We will fight in court to ensure that trans youth and their parents can access critically important, lifesaving healthcare without government intrusion.
Today, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments in an abortion case that will decide whether nationwide restrictions will be placed on mifepristone.

This could be big for democracy in Virginia. Huge props to @v_agraharkar & the @ACLUVA team. I hope people will take time to read the complaint itself, which is as much a lucid historical account of Confederate vote suppression as it is a legal instrument. #valeg #vagov
