Dear Friend,
Today, after 133 years, we take another step toward a more just and equitable future. A symbol of white supremacy, the Robert E. Lee monument, has been removed from Monument Avenue. I was honored to work alongside you to finally make this a reality.
Throughout my time in the General Assembly, I have fought to dismantle racism and white supremacy and create a more inclusive, better Virginia. We have made great strides through voting rights, expanding healthcare, and criminal justice reform and I commit to you to continue fighting until ALL Virginians have opportunity, justice and fairness.
Thank you to all the advocates, elected officials, and the Governor for being involved in this new step forward for our Commonwealth. I look forward to continuing to fight for social justice in our community.
Sincerely,
Betsy B. Carr
