Thank you for joining us in Richmond to fight for a cleaner, healthier Virginia

Did you know there’s going to be a showdown in Richmond?  Proponents of uranium mining have spent more than $1 million to convince lawmakers to lift the ban that has protected drinking water for 30 years. Conspiracy theorists within the Tea Party are out to dismantle Virginia’s smart growth laws.  The governor has made the controversial practice of nutrient credit trading a centerpiece of his Chesapeake cleanup plans.

The 2012 General Assembly is approaching fast. Decisions made in Richmond will effect our environment for years. View presentations and handouts from the VCN General Assembly Preview Workshop and learn what needs to be done to restore our rivers, protect our open spaces and clean our air.
