VaLORS Letter Writing Campaign

Whether a VJJA member or not, your participation in this campaign is needed.  There is strength in numbers, so we need every Probation/Parole/Intake Officer or other DJJ employee to write a letter, send an e-mail and call his/her Senator and Delegate.  It is particularly important that we contact each member of the Senate Finance Committee before they meet on February 4th, so we need to act fast!

Legislative Committee Compiles E-mail List

Wow ... VJJA members respond quickly!  We asked, "Who would like to sign up to receive legislative updates via e-mail?  In less than a week over 100 members provided their home e-mail addresses and said, "Sign me up!"  That's a great start, but we need to reach even more folks.  DJJ employs nearly 700 POs through 1st line supervisors and we need to reach them all!  So, spread the word ..... If you know others who want to be part of our mailings on this issue, please have them e-mail their home e-mail addresses to: vjjasecretary@earthlink.net.  (VJJA membership is not necessary to be added to the mailing list.  As VaLORS and other bills impact every CSU employee in the state, all employees are welcome to receive legislative updates and participate in our efforts)
