Boys and men commission planned by Virginia legislators

Leaders and our coalition focused on servine males in the Commonwealth

Big reveal that has been underway all year ... yesterday Virginia legislators, including the House Speaker and Democrat Party Chair, announced a commitment to passing a bill to create an advisory commission to study and devote resources to serving males in the Commonwealth.

I am very proud to have been part of the effort.

More details, media coverage and next steps:

Virginia Advisory Commission for Men and Boys announced

In parallel, we’re building Virginia Coalition for Boys and Men, a bipartisan, multi-discipline force working together to:

• Public-facing force to raise awareness of men and boy issues in Virginia

• Advise lawmakers with data-based recommendations

• Collaborate on research, media messaging and effective advocacy

• Build on the nationwide network of nonprofits, businesses, education, government and academics focused on serving boys and men

Please sign up there to get updates about this and other efforts in Virginia.

Know anyone in Virginia working on issues of specific concern to males, please introduce us.

Exciting times for all the work…
