NPCA is excited to be co-hosting two lobby days in the Virginia General Assembly. The first will be on Monday, January 20, and will focus entirely on reforming the data center industry, the biggest threat to national parks in Virginia today. On January 22, in partnership with the Virginia Conservation Network is a broader conservation lobby day, where all environmental issues will be covered.
Both events will be held at the St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in downtown Richmond. From there, attendees will have meetings with their legislators to discuss how they can protect our parks! Come to whichever lobby day works better for your schedule or whichever issue area interests you more – or come to both!
