Sport is a human right.

We are proud to join a letter urging the NCAA Board of Governors to protect the rights of transgender athletes to compete in NCAA sports.

DONUT stress! Sine Die, signaling the end of the lege session, is tomorrow!

Sine Die means without any future date being designated. In other words, the General Assembly will adjourn with no future meeting date.

LGBTQ+ Virginians showed up in force this session! 💪🏽
