UVA Karsh Institute of Democracy I'm enormously grateful to Melody Barnes + her UVA Karsh Institute of Democracy colleagues and everyone at Virginia Humanities for giving me the chance to continue the most important work of my career. The local news ecosystem needs all the help we can give it. See you in Charlottesville

Your right to an abortion should not depend on where you live. But today’s Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe returns the fight back to the states. I’ve fought to make Virginia a safe haven for access to abortion in the South. Now, I will fight to keep it so.

It was a treat to spend time with the Karsh Institute of Democracy team and advisory board this week. There is no better time than now for this essential work, and I’m deeply grateful it is happening at UVA.
