I would ask that you support this bill!

The Humanization Project, while supporting the intent of SB1363, we believe the bill needs significant change and work. The composition of the oversight board it creates is not balanced and fails to incorporate important stakeholders such as family or loved ones of those incarcerated, a physician, and is heavy on law enforcement and correctional personnel. In its current composition it is effectively the police policing the police. While there is one advocate and one formerly incarcerated person on the board, as written this could be someone who spent one night in jail and nothing more. Even so, the advocate and formerly incarcerated members are seemingly token members as they are, again, far outweighed by former law enforcement. Another issue with this bill is that it does not create independent oversight. No remedy of issues. There is not a manner in which someone who is incarcerated or their loved ones can access this board, file a complaint, or submit a grievance, nor does it provide for reasonable access to correctional facilities, records, surveillance video from correctional facilities, etc. Again, while we appreciate the intent of Sen Marsden’s SB1363, we believe it needs work. We, along with many others in the advocacy community, would be happy to work with him to craft a more inclusive and equitable bill that provides for independent oversight, much needed access to facilities and records, and an ability to address issues in real time. We believe it is important that oversight is created. However, it MUST be meaningful and representative of actual stakeholders. We respectfully request that SB1363 be laid on the table with a letter from the Chair of this committee referring it to the Crime Commission for study and recommendations.

Oppose SB1381 - Okay, so you think it's a good idea to limit law-abiding people from carrying at state buildings? Have you been to Richmond? That's a scary place - worse than our Rt. 1 corridor in Fairfax County Va. No way should any professional woman find herself in these areas without a concealed weapon. And parking lots? So what do I have to take my weapon out of my vehicle and stow it behind a tree somewhere off the state property every time I have business on state property and have to park in a state parking lot? This is crazy. And it affects people like me who follow the letter of the law. Oh and rest areas ... are you serious? So anyone carrying can't park in a rest area and use the facilities because this would have them breaking the law. The criminals won't give a hoot about the law. Just us moms out here trying to live a good life as law-abiding citizens. Virginia is one of the safest states. Stop the harassment of the good people of Virginia. I have a right to speak my mind, carry the weapon of my choice, hang out with whomever I want, send my children to an actual school that meets in person, make my own health decisions as it is my body, and live a free life. Nothing is more important than freedom. Stop infringing on our rights. This is just over the top.
