Look forward to virtually joining @JulianCastro at 4PM today to talk about @JoeBiden's new housing proposals and how a compassionate federal plan can help black and brown Richmonders and folks all across the country. Sign up here to watch: https://t.co/7Wt0Eeruxf — PolitiTweet.org

If you don’t already believe this man’s racism runs deep, this is all the evidence you need. Our “lifestyle dream” should be every child thriving regardless of where they grow up. Affordable, inclusive housing should be the heart of EVERY community, Mr. President. — PolitiTweet.org

The connection between climate change, social justice & public health is undeniable. Congress can prioritize all 3 by investing in a green & just economic recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the words of Delegate McQuinn, the city’s investing an an opportunity. We are at an inflection point, with the chance to tell our complete history. My gratitude to those who have fought tirelessly for this moment. https://t.co/FNPsJ0Ytj2 — PolitiTweet.org

.@CynthiaNewbille and I are asking Judge Hicks to issue a 60-day eviction moratorium. This time is vital to ensure we've expanded our capacity to get this funding to those who need it for rent relief and to avoid eviction. 2/2 https://t.co/nOuEs3ATPF — PolitiTweet.org

This is why we must invest in affordable housing and housing stability. Support is the priority. The city has invested $6M in emergency funds for the Eviction Diversion program, which will help these families in crisis. 1/2 — PolitiTweet.org

Virginia is part of the United States of America, not the Confederate States of America. And those honored in our Capitol should be servants to our country, not traitors against it. Speaker Filler-Corn did the right thing to remove these symbols of the Lost Cause. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney

Last night I visited the hardworking crew working on a long overdue Chippenham paving project. @DPW_RichmondVA paved 320 lane miles in FY2020 - that's over $21 million invested right into our roads, and we're not slowing down. #1RVA https://t.co/Ta2M8zHPF1 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney

Today, I’m proud to co-patron a paper to change the name of Jefferson Davis Highway within city limits to Richmond Highway, as it’s known throughout much of the Commonwealth. This change is a long time coming. Historic Route 1 leads to Richmond. Let’s claim our due. #1RVA — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to living legend Plunky Branch for sharing love, light and song with your city for so many years. We're so happy to call you our own. Happy birthday, @plunkyone! https://t.co/fQL8liY8uq — PolitiTweet.org

John Lewis dedicated his entire life to justice and he lived it with courage and love. Let’s honor him by committing to walk in his shoes. Rest in power, sir. 🙏🏾 https://t.co/7nLUMaow8P — PolitiTweet.org

This targeted effort will support families often overlooked in public support programs. I'm thankful so many were willing to come around the table and find a fix with support from @OpenSociety. Shout out to @HOMEofVA and @RVAOMA for their vital roles. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney

VA is one of the nation's least forgiving states for 2nd chances. I'm familiar with this harsh reality - I saw my father struggle with the felony on his record. Read my piece in @FreePressRVA on why expungements MUST take priority in the special session. https://t.co/eIWu8Zu4uY — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney

I didn't gather this diverse & experienced group just to talk. They're bringing me actionable recommendations on use of force, community engagement & a human services approach to public safety in 45 days. I'm thrilled we have this team and eager to hear the steps they recommend. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s the late Dr. Oliver Hill Jr. in his own words. He speaks to turning points in history. That’s the reckoning in front us right now, and we have the chance to bring about lasting change he & his father would be proud of. We must channel his strength. https://t.co/b7iHkI5ucF — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney

This is just a sample of the vitriol my office has received over the last few weeks. To those who still don’t believe these statues are linked to racism: you’re kidding yourself. Richmond, we’ve got work to do. https://t.co/zUYSkgFrtG — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney

To those who say we’re erasing history by removing Confederate monuments, THIS ⬇️ is the history we’re making space for. Mr. Jones’ work restores the history that racist structures attempted to erase. I’m grateful to him as mayor and as a Black man. #1RVA — PolitiTweet.org

No Richmonder should ever feel threatened by gun violence, much less in a public space where residents expect to be served, not fear for their lives. This is a foundation to build off of - we must continue to advocate and innovate for a safer and stronger city for all. #1RVA — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Levar M. Stoney @LevarStoney

Last week we started removing relics of a shameful past, for a brighter future. Help us finish the job. https://t.co/dxOv3kBxgD https://t.co/wpnVj86ryD — PolitiTweet.org

When I visited the new River City Middle yesterday, I saw the community’s investment at work creating the monuments our city has always needed. Monuments to tolerance, equity, and opportunity that will lift up Black and Brown children instead of holding them down. #1RVA https://t.co/a82WHptUl3 — PolitiTweet.org
