Dear Jack,

My office and I are wishing the best for you and your family during these difficult times. Every Tuesday, I'll be sending updates and news from our district to make sure you have the latest information and resources you need.


Juneteenth

Governor Northam has declared that this Friday, June 19th will be a paid holiday for state workers in honor of Juneteenth, the commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States. Black history is U.S. history, and I am grateful for this opportunity for all of us to learn and reflect on the importance of this day in our history. It will take legislative action to make Juneteenth a permanent state holiday in Virginia, and I look forward to working on that in the coming months.


Virginia Artist Relief Fellowship Program

Today, Governor Northam and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts announced the Virginia Artist Relief Fellowship Program to provide financial relief to visual artists who have been impacted by the pandemic. Forty artists will be selected to receive a grant of $5,000 each on July 24th. Applications are being accepted from now until July 10th. You can read more and apply here.


Higher Education Reopening

Last Thursday, Governor Northam put out guidance on the reopening of higher education institutions for in-person instruction. All Virginia higher education institutions will have to develop plans for the coming academic year and submit them to the State Council of Higher Education no later than July 6th, 2020. Higher education institutions will have to develop guidelines regarding health screening, testing, and contact tracing on college campuses, strategies to increase physical distancing, and plans for potential future shutdowns. You can read the guidance here.
