As a physician, I know that we can't defeat this epidemic in isolation. The expansion of this data-sharing platform will improve the way our state agencies and local partners work together and help focus their efforts on saving lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, on #WomensEqualityDay, we celebrate the tremendous progress we have made in advancing women's rights throughout our history, but we must also redouble our efforts to ensure real equality for all women—let's start by ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment in Virginia. — PolitiTweet.org

As we reckon with the painful legacy of Virginia’s racist past, and acknowledge that it continues to shape our present, we can and must continue to act to improve the future. We must work to tell our full and true story. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

While we cannot change the past, we can use it and learn from it. When we know more, we can do more. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

The legacy of racism continues as part of a system that touches every person and every aspect of our lives, whether we know it or not. If we’re serious about righting the wrong that began here at this place, we need to do more than talk. We need to take action. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Today I signed an executive directive to establish a Commission on African American History Education. This Commission will review our educational standards, instructional practices, content, and resources currently used to teach African American history in the Commonwealth. — PolitiTweet.org

Virginia is a place of contradictions and complexity. We take a step forward and often a step back. And we have to acknowledge that. We have to teach that complexity to our children, and often to our adults. We are a state that for too long has told a false story of ourselves. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

For too long, the burden has been on individuals and communities of color to lead these discussions. But if more of us have these hard conversations, and truly listen and learn from them, we’ll be better able to shine that light of truth. — PolitiTweet.org

Ida B. Wells wrote that “The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.” If we are going to begin to truly right the wrongs of our four centuries of history, if we are going to turn the light of truth upon them, we have to start with ourselves. — PolitiTweet.org

We are here today for a commemoration and a reckoning. Today is a time to reckon with the fact that four hundred years ago, enslaved Africans arrived for the first time on Virginia shores. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

I’m speaking today as part of powerful ceremony to commemorate the arrival of the first enslaved Africans on our shores, here at Point Comfort 400 years ago. Watch here: https://t.co/teKYN4UaYM — PolitiTweet.org

We just released Virginia’s final Chesapeake Bay restoration plan—the last phase of our 15-year regional clean-up effort. The Bay is one of our most important natural treasures, and this plan will ensure we get the job done by 2025. Learn more here: https://t.co/bGbl0gVcbT — PolitiTweet.org

On average, black women make 61 cents for every $1 their white, male counterparts make. On #BlackWomensEqualPayDay, let's remember that the wage gap is about race just as much as gender—we must do more to fix it. https://t.co/0FvM1etAD4 — PolitiTweet.org

This is exciting news and exactly what we are aiming for with my ConserveVirginia land conservation strategy. On top of the many environmental benefits, sustainably managed forests also support local jobs in rural communities like Southwest Virginia. — PolitiTweet.org

Since I took office we've secured more than $20 billion in investment and over 51,000 new jobs—not only is that a record, it's good for our economy, our businesses, and families across our Commonwealth. https://t.co/zPrmikpsEk — PolitiTweet.org
