Tech lobbying is putting Virginia’s kids at risk
Did you know that a big tech-backed data center group called the Data Center Coalition—whose members include Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Google—formed a political action committee last year, then donated $165,500 to a bipartisan group of Virginia lawmakers... ahead of a legislative session focused on regulation? Yeah.
If this rubs you the wrong way, here are two things you can do about it:
-Use the Virginia Register of Regulations or the Virginia Regulatory Town Hall website to track proposed regulations and submit public comments.
-Use the Virginia Public Access Project and Transparency USA to see which lawmakers receive donations from tech companies and related PACs.

Southern abortion bans push patients North to Virginia
As abortion bans tighten across the South, Virginia’s become a lifeline.
New data shows the Commonwealth saw the biggest jump in abortions nationwide last year—up by over 5,500. Nearly 1 in 4 patients came from out of state, with many traveling from Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina just to get care.
While abortion is still legal here, it’s not protected in the state constitution—and advocates say the threats are growing.
Just this year, Gov. Glenn Youngkin vetoed protections for contraception. If that’s any clue, the fight for reproductive rights in Virginia is far from over.
