Summary: 

The newly-formed Virginia Alliance held a successful news conference on January 29 responding to introduction of a bill and a lobby day by Compassion and Choices.  Led by the PRAF public relations firm, the resulting press was outstanding.  The Virginia bill has been carried over to 2021 so no further activity is expected this year.
