A data center right next to a children’s playground? Unconscionable. Virginians deserve better. Democrats and Republicans are working together to rein in this industry, protect our communities, and make sure data centers pay their fair share. Governor Abigail Spanberger , I’m still waiting on that call.

Abigail said I was frustrated but the real problem was I couldn’t hear her over the data center noise.

Barbara Johns stood up as a teenager in Virginia and demanded an education for herself and everyone else that looked like her. Her legacy shaped us into the Commonwealth we are today. Now she stands in Statutory Hall representing Virginians next to George Washington.

To every young woman I met today, if somebody tries to keep their foot on your neck, stand up and keep going until they have to call you Madam Chair. I know a little something about that. When I entered the Senate, I was told I would never even serve on Senate Finance. Now I’m the first Black person to chair it and the first Black woman elected President pro tempore of the Virginia Senate. I’m proud to serve alongside incredible women and even prouder to make a way for the next generation. Thank you, Southern Black Girls and Women’s Consortium , for bringing the Joy & Justice Tour to Richmond and inviting me to share my story.

Some people don’t want these conversations to happen. That’s exactly why we’re having them. Across Virginia, Senator Mamie Locke and I have heard from parents, teachers, grandparents, farmers, and small business owners. Different backgrounds, one message: they want to be heard before decisions are made, not after. We’ll keep showing up. We’ll keep listening. Because there’s more power in the people than people in power
