December was quite the month… It’s months like these that make me appreciate all of the archivists and journalists working to document the actions of our rogue government a little extra. Thanks to a slow recovery from a nasty case of the “super flu” and the sheer number of unbelievable headlines I had to fact check this month, this is the longest newsletter yet. While it is my 2026 resolution to produce more audio and video for accessibility of information, I produce these newsletters independently in between job hunting and supporting clients. If you would like to hear me read more of these newsletters, please consider donating or supporting my content in other ways.

Now, Ladies, Theydies, and Gents I present to you my December newsletter!

Federal Government

WhatTheF***.gov: Election Denial, Puppet Regulatory Agencies, and Trump’s Best Friend Epstein.

The Department of Justice has missed their December, 26th deadline to release all files pertaining to convicted Sex Offender, Jeffery Epstein. Last Month, Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act near-unanimously, compelling the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release all of the files in searchable format. However, the documents that the public have received are heavily redacted and incomplete. Donald Trump is mentioned within the files many times, most disturbingly in a 2020 complaint that lists Trump as a witness to trafficking of a minor and infanticide in 1984. At least 16 files were deleted by the DOJ after being released without explanation or even acknowledgment. One of the deleted files contained a photo of Trump, Melania, Jeffery, and Ghislaine Maxwell. The DOJ claims that the delay in releasing the files is due to the time consuming process of obscuring victims names, however a bipartisan coalition of 12 Senators are calling on the Inspector General to audit the DOJ’s compliance.

In an alarmingly partisan turn, the chair of The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) denounced it’s independent status for the first time since the agency’s creation in 1934. During a Senate hearing session, FCC Chair Brendan Carr dodged direct questions from Senators about the agency’s independent status, then he declared that the FCC “is not an independent agency”. FCC staff even went as far as to remove the word “independent” from the web page, during the hearing. An Axios reporter noticed that the “About Us” section of the FCC changed from “An Independent government agency overseen by congress” to “A government agency overseen by congress”. Lone Democratic FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez asserted that the agency was and is independent. This is an alarming case of how AI and the internet is being weaponized by our government, in real time to rewrite history and normalize a heavily politicized federal government. See it for yourself! Here is the FCC’s About page Before and After the senate hearing.

On December 2, the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed lawsuits against the states of Delaware, Vermont, Washington, Maryland, Rhode Island, and New Mexico for not providing voter registration rolls. In a continuation of the Trump administrations push to prove debunked election conspiracy theories about widespread voting irregularities and stolen elections, states received letters that demanded they make voter data available for investigation. The voter data demanded by the DOJ includes voter registration lists, drivers licenses, and partial social security numbers. On December 18, the DOJ filed even more lawsuits against the states of Wisconsin, Georgia, Illinois, Nevada, and the District of Colombia for access to the same sensitive voter data. This brings the total of states and territories sued by the DOJ to 22. A coalition of Secretaries of State sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi last month, seeking clarification on which agencies the data will be shared with and for what reasons. After the DOJ sent a letter to several state elections commissions demanding sensitive voter data. Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee announced their intent to voluntarily provide full registration lists. 10 states have agreed to comply so far. The Brennan Center maintains a state by state tracker for Justice Department requests for state voter information.

A Federal magistrate judge rejected a request from former Mesa County (Colorado) clerk arguing that Tina Peters be released from prison while her case pends with the state. Peters is facing criminal charges for orchestrating a data breech scheme to support false claims about voting machine fraud in the 2020 election. Peters, an unapologetic election denier, has the support of Donald Trump and retired Lt. General Mike Flynn with the two warning they would “take harsh measures” if Peters was not released. The Trump Administration sent a letter to the Colorado prison system last month, requesting that Peters be transferred into federal custody. There is still no evidence of widespread election fraud during the 2020 elections.

Hello backlogs, goodbye due process. The Consequences of Trump’s Federal Mass Layoff & Firing Campaign.

Since the mass layoffs of Federal workers last April, the Department of Education’s (DOE) Office for Civil Rights is facing a backlog of over 25,000 discrimination cases. This has prompted the department to recall a couple dozen fired attorneys back to work starting Dec 15 to clear the cases. This backlog has grown by 5,000 cases as the workforce at the DOE has shrunk from 4,100 to half that of 2,200. This comes as the DOE continues to appeal lawsuits challenging the legality of these layoffs.

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) workers were put on administrative leave after sending a letter to Congress in September, outlining how the Trump Administration’s campaign of retaliation is preventing FEMA workers from doing their jobs. On Dec 1, FEMA workers received emails notifying them that they had been reinstated, as their actions were protected by the Whistle-blower Act. However, the Department of Homeland Security quickly reversed the decision and a spokesperson for the DHS declared that the workers were “wrongly and without authorization reinstated by bureaucrats acting outside of their authority.” This is the latest in the Trump Administration’s actions to punish Federal workers who are committed to serve the people and the constitution over the Trump administration.

This year, the Trump Administration has dismissed nearly 100 of 700 immigration judges. This is not counting the dozens more who have retired or resigned in 2025. This has led to a backlog of millions of immigration and asylum cases currently pending judgement. Dark Money funded far-right American Accountability Foundation has been facilitating a Bureaucrat Watch List that houses a list of Federal Workers who are likely to “resist” Trump’s plans to facilitate the largest deportation effort in human history. Many Judges on this list have been targeted for dismissal, in Trump’s quest to bypass judicial review for immigration and migration cases.

Internet Access, Clean Energy, and Equal Opportunity: The latest casualties of AI expansion by any means necessary.

The Trump Administration announced the termination of 5 large offshore wind projects currently under construction along the East coast. The Department of Interior explains “Today’s action addresses emerging national security risks, including the rapid evolution of the relevant adversary technologies, and the vulnerabilities created by large-scale offshore wind projects with proximity near our east coast population centers.” As the national security risks have not been defined by the Defense Department (Now Department of War), clean energy proponents warn that this is a continuation of Donald Trump’s attacks on renewable energy in favor of oil, gas, and coal. This comes in the wake of major energy shortfalls as Trump clears the way for Tech Oligarchs to continue their push for the expansion of AI Data Centers at all costs.

President Trump signed Executive Order 14179 (Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence) The order aims to remove “cumbersome regulation” also known as an AI legislation moratorium that bars Federal and state lawmakers from legislating on AI. The EO also mandates the creation of an AI Litigation Task Force to challenge State AI legislation that does not adequately “sustain and enhance the United States’ global AI dominance”. The executive order also threatens to withhold Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) funding deployment for states that do not comply to the satisfaction of the administration. In short, the White House is determined to push forward AI development at the expense of reliable internet connectivity and state legislative sovereignty.

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) announced that the Trump Administration is launching a US Tech Force, a cross government program to modernize the Federal government. This comes after Trump’s AI Action Plan declared that “securing America’s leadership in AI is the paramount national challenge of our generation”. Agencies that are recruiting include the Departments of State, Treasury, War, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce, Labor, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, Energy, Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security in addition to the Small Business Association, Internal Revenue Service, Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, OPM, GSA, and others. The program has received interest from over 25K applicants so far.

States

Governors take a side: reporting ICE misconduct, regulating Artificial Intelligence, and… defending conservative values in High Schools?

California launched an online portal for residents to report illegal misconduct from Federal officers including ICE and CBP. The online form allows users to submit photos, videos, and other evidence of Federal abuse of authority. Governor Gavin Newsom hopes that this form leverages citizen reporting to push back against the campaign of terror and displacement by the Trump administration. A Federal judge has blocked the Trump Administration’s deployment of Federal troops to Los Angeles and ordered that the troops be returned to state control.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed the Responsible AI Safety and Education Act (RAISE Act) into law. The bill regulates AI by mandating incident reporting requirements, risk assessment plans, and the creation of a new oversight office within the Department of Financial Services to ensure transparency and accountability. Critics of the bill claim that the law was passed in a substantially weakened state after input from OpenAI and other Tech lobbyists. On the other hand, State Senator Andrew Gounardes insists that “The RAISE Act lays the groundwork for a world where AI innovation makes life better instead of putting it at risk. Big tech oligarchs think it’s fine to put their profits ahead of our safety—we disagree”.

Texas Governor Greg Abbot and LT Governor Dan Patrick announced a partnership with Turning Point USA to create “Club America” chapters at every high school in the state. Turning point USA is a conservative ultra right-wing organization founded by assassinated right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, that operated on college campuses as a hub of “conservative values” for students. Similar partnerships were announced in Florida and Oklahoma, raising concerns of First Amendment violations regarding the use of government resources to promote partisan political ideology in public schools.

State actors defend student and voter data from the Federal Government.

California Attorney General and 17 Democratic attorneys general sent a coalition letter urging the Department of Education to withdraw a proposed expansion of federal data collection on college admissions. The letter argues that “the proposed data collection is not necessary to the proper functions of the Department” and could possibly violate student privacy.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission voted 5 to 1 to send a response to the DOJ explaining that the commission will not comply with the department’s request for voter data. The commission explains that sending such data would violate state law.

Corporation Watch

The AI race drives up costs for consumers, monopolizes search results, and goes to space.

AI Data Center build out is driving up prices for consumers looking to purchase Random Access Memory chips (RAM). Prices seemed to double in November then Triple this month as the leading companies in RAM production (SK Hynix, Samsung, and Micron) are receiving open ended orders from companies looking to build out data centers. The demand is causing a supply chain crisis that is projected to continue into 2030. The supply chain crisis is likely to raise smartphone prices by 25% and memory costs are projected to be driven up another 40% in 2026

Washington based Starcloud launched a satellite last month with Nvidia H100 graphics processing unit, into space. Since the launch, Starcloud was able to run the NanoGPT large language model. The company is striving to prove that outer space can be a viable location for data centers as Earth bound data centers continue to strain power grids and water sources.

A Federal Judge ordered Google to limit default search and AI contracts to one year following the 2024 finding that Google illegally monopolized online search markets. This ruling comes from the US District Court of the District of Colombia and aims to enforce Antitrust policies to allow competition in search engines and generative AI.

A Federal Judge has issued a restraining order against T-Mobile for scraping customer data from AT&T’s website. In a Nov 26 lawsuit out of North Texas, AT&T accused T-Mobile of using their T-Life app to scrape customer data without the company’s consent.

Attacks on DEI are separating marginalized journalists from their audiences and defunding immigration advocacy groups.

After CBS News’ parent Company Paramount closed a merger deal with Skydance in August, more than 2,000 jobs in journalism are at risk. Black reporters at CBS were let go this month, in what appears to be a continuation of anti-DEI capitulation to the Trump administration. Skydance promised that it would eliminate DEI initiatives and workforce diversity targets. Similarly, Teen Vogue is being shuttered and absorbed into Vogue.com after the news room let go of their teams consisting largely of women of color.

Priscilla Chan and her husband Mark Zuckerberg’s philanthropic organization CZI has halted funding for a pro-immigration group. FWD.us was co-founded by Zuckerberg in 2013, and 2025 is the first year since its founding that CZI did not fund FWD.us. It is worth noting that this rightward shift comes after Mark Zuckerberg met with Trump Advisor Stephen Miller, critic of FWD.us, and contributed $1 million towards Trump’s inaugural fund and another undisclosed ammount towards the construction of the White House ballroom.

Cyber Rights

Federal intervention blocks age verification law and a social media content restriction for children.

A Federal Judge in Baton Rouge has blocked the Louisiana Age Verification law for social media from going into effect. Judge DeGravelles argues that while sates may try to protect children from harm, that power does not include free-floating power to restrict the ideas to which children may be exposed. Ultimately ruling that the law violates the First Amendment.

A Federal Judge temporarily blocked Arkansas restrictions of social media. Act 901 would allow parents to sue social media platforms if their child is exposed to content on their platforms that resulted in eating disorders, attempted suicides, and algorithmic addiction.

Data breaches and holiday Cyber attacks leaving consumers defrauded and vulnerable.

Patients of Oklahoma-based healthcare group Integris Health, can receive up to $25,000 of a $30 million settlement for failure to prevent a data breach that compromised personal patient information. The health care system has refused to admit wrongdoing, yet have agreed to settle to put the 2023 data breach to bed. Affected patients will also receive up to $1 Million in identity theft insurance. A major data breach at the government contractor Conduit Business Services LLC has exposed highly sensitive personal information of over 10.5 million Americans.

This holiday season, hackers are looking for weak points to exploit, and the most common one is your reused passwords. The FBI found 630 Million stolen passwords on a device seized from a hacker. The stolen passwords were acquired from a variety of sources: clear net market places, dark web market places, Telegram channels and infostealers (aka cybercrime-as-a-service). Compromised passwords are being used as ammunition by automated hacking machines- an attack known as password spraying. Threat actors are targeting Cisco and Palo Alto Network VPN Gateway credentials.

An AARP survey revealed that nearly 40% of consumers filed fraud claims after purchasing items from social media ads. The Treasury Department warns that AI is being leveraged by cyber criminals to scale and personalize scams: AI deep-fake voice cloning to mimic family members requesting emergency funds, to AI generated emails and ads to overcome language barriers.

Weather Report

Holy Wars, Mid-air near misses, and Presidential Walk of Fame towards global isolation and military extremism.

President Donald Trump has added plaques containing inflammatory and biased descriptions of past presidents under the “Presidential walk of Fame” outside of the West Wing. This project is just the latest in Trump’s quest to “beautify” the white house. Previous projects include: The demolished East Wing turned ballroom, the Paved Rose Garden, and now the Presidential Walk of Fame.

In a continued campaign to restrict immigration from “third world countries” the Trump Administration announced a pause on all immigration applications from 19 countries. Every applicant from these countries must “undergo a thorough re-review process, including a potential interview, and if necessary, a re-interview, to fully assess all national security and public safety threats,” per the U.S. Citizens and Immigration Services memo.

Amid the ongoing “drug extradition” escalation by U.S. military in the Caribbean, a JetBlue pilot reported that he narrowly missed a mid-air collision with a U.S. Air Force refuel tanker that had its transponder turned off. Not even a day later, a private jet pilot reported a similar near-miss collision with an Air Force Aircraft right over the coast of Venezuela. “We were climbing right into him,” said the private jet pilot to air traffic control. “We almost had a midair collision up here,” the JetBlue pilot said “They passed directly in our flight path. … They don’t have their transponder turned on, it’s outrageous.” This comes weeks after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) warned all pilots to exercise caution when flying over Venezuelan airspace. The Pentagon says that they have been made aware and are reviewing the incidents.

The US Military carried out strikes on a remote Nigerian village. Last month, Trump threatened to order his forces to take military action in Nigeria unless the authorities there acted to stop, what he described as, the persecution of Christians. On Christmas day, with the public cooperation of the Nigerian government, the U.S.Navy launched about 12 Tomahawk missiles, striking the Village of Jabo. There have been no reported casualties and the strikes appear to have been symbolic. Of what exactly? I admit that I am unsure. However U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on X that there was “more to come.”

Racial and Gender intolerance is gatekeeping student journalism and the bathroom.

The University of Alabama has suspended two student magazines: “Nineteen Fifty-Six” and “Alice” that highlight issues faced by Black students and women. University officials notified the student journalists that they could not continue their reporting as it is considered Federally unlawful DEI content. The University is complying with the “DEI crackdown” as laid out in a memo from U.S Attorney General Pam Bondi, that calls DEI unlawful and liable to incur litigation and result in withholding of grant money.

Texas’s “Bathroom Bill” known as the Texas Women’s Privacy Act SB 8 went into effect this month. The law applies to public gendered restrooms and requires individuals to use the restrooms that match their “sex at birth” or risk fines up to $25,000. Demonstrators used the bathroom at the capitol once before a rally in the rotunda of the Texas Capitol and once after. It was on the second trip to the bathroom that Department of Public Safety Troopers were stationed at the doors to check IDs. Shortly thereafter Trans demonstrators were detained for allegedly failing to cooperate with law enforcement and DPS issued criminal trespass warnings to four transgender women, banning them from the Texas Capitol for a year. “This bill and this new alleged rule with the Capitol will be used against queer people speaking for their rights, people of color speaking for their rights, when it comes to these bills,” Vaz said. “Public testimony should be for the public, not for a select few conservative operatives.”

ICE’s escalation: Sonic Weapons at Home Depot, Airlines Cashing In on Deportation, and “Antifa” Indictments.

Students at the University of Colorado at Boulder are continuing the protests against Key Lime Air for their role in facilitating ICE deportation flights. These Aircrafts operate in stealth, without identifying logos. However, the unique registration numbers can be cross-checked in North American Approvals Registration and Monitoring through the FAA. Students are calling on administration to reconsider contracts with Key Lime Air that they have held since 2011 for transporting athletes. These students argue that they do not consent to having their Public tuition go towards funding deportation facilitation and are demanding transparency and accountability.

A Los Angeles man has plead guilty to the assault of a Federal Officer. The man punched a Customs and Border Patrol officer in the face during a protest in June. A woman in Spokane Washington has plead guilty to conspiring to impede federal enforcement of deportation. She is one of nine facing charges after protesters convened in an attempt to deter ICE agents from deporting 2 legal immigrants. The indictment alleges that the protesters obstructed the driveway blocking the exit to the detention center with sandbags, benches, trash cans, signs, and other debris. One of the detainees elected to undergo self-deportation to avoid the cruel treatment in the Takoma detention center. The woman’s boyfriend who was present that day was eventually deported, resulting in her inability to afford her home where they lived with their child. 5 protesters still await trail.

A Home Depot in Los Angeles has opted to use sonic weapons to deter day laborers, largely migrant workers, from gathering and soliciting work in the parking lot. Day Laborer advocacy group, Instituto de Educacion Popular Del Sur de California is calling on Home Depot to remove the three sonic devices they installed on lamp posts in the parking lot. The devices are described as sonic torture, with some workers experiencing headaches and nausea, and another worker who now wears earplugs has described that the sonic weapon “penetrates your bones.” Home Depot has denied any collaboration with ICE and has further denied day laborers as the target of the sonic weapons.

New Orleans police removed around 30 protesters from a city hall chamber where they were protesting increased ICE activity in the city. The protesters were calling on city council to designate all city property as ICE free zones. Federal agents are calling the immigration escalation operation “Catahoula Crunch” and DHS claims that they are targeting “the worst of the worst”. City Council members announced the availability of a portal where residents can learn about their rights and report misconduct from Federal agents. Heartbreaking stories of terror and abduction are beginning to surface on social media. This comes immediately after last month’s operation Charlotte’s Web that targeted Raleigh North Carolina leading to 250 arrests.

In Texas, Lacy Lakeview city council voted 6-1 to annex 520 acres of land for a proposed $10 Billion dollar artificial intelligence data center, despite opposition from residents at a packed hearing. “This being something that Lacy Lakeview wants, no we don’t, let me just say that,” said one resident while delivering their public comment. Mayor Wilson admitted that he and the other council members have many questions and concerns about the data center, but the financial pressure makes the deal attractive.

Conservative Nationalists wear a lot of glitter and swastikas these days and the TikTok shop has the perfect necklace “For You”.

In Little Rock Arkansas, a Neo Nazi group the Blood Tribe marched through the streets as they filmed a recruiting video for their organization. The hate group chose to target Martin Luther King JR and Daisy Bates Drive, as they are named after prominent Black civil rights activists. They brandished weapons, swastika flags, and covered their faces as they marched to Central High School where the Little Rock 9 desegregated schools as a result of the landmark Brown V. Board of Education decision. The Little Rock police pulled over the hate group and found 23 Blood Tribe members packed inside a U-Haul truck. The driver was issued a citation and the 22 remaining passengers were made to find other ways home. NAACP chairman of the Little Rock branch had this to say: “The community that they walked in is full of elderly people,” he says. “These may be people who were at school with the Little Rock Nine, talked with Annie Mae Bankhead, marched with Martin Luther King…it was probably pretty traumatizing.”

Turning Point USA ended their national “America Comeback” tour at University of California, Berkeley, with speeches and Q&As drawing crowds of 900 attendees. Among demonstrators were individuals carrying signage with swastikas. There were nearly 150 counter protesters that remained largely peaceful, except for an isolated fight on the sidewalk. Attorney General Pam Bondi posted to Twitter/X that the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force would investigate “violent riots at UC Berkeley” and declared that “Antifa is an existential threat to our nation.” At the Arizona “AmericaFest” convention, Erika Kirk wife of assassinated right wing activist Charlie Kirk, interviewed rapper Nicki Minaj. Minaj praised the Trump Administration, then she deleted her Instagram account after losing over 10 Million followers.

Days After Hanukkah, TikTok users were horrified to see a TikTok shop ad promoting a swastika necklace on their feeds. TikTok removed the product from its marketplace, but not before the ad was seen by thousands, potentially more, on their algorithmically curated “For You” feeds- despite the TikTok Shop’s content policy prohibiting the sale of items containing “vulgar or offensive language, including hate speech, slurs, or discriminatory remarks.” this is not the first time hate symbols have been promoted to users of the app.

Good News

Museums and Libraries regain funding as good samaritans spread holiday cheer to the kids impacted by Federal layoffs.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is reinstating all grants previously terminated by the Trump Administration. In March of 2025, Trump issued an executive order calling for the elimination of the independent federal agency responsible for awarding grant funding to museums and libraries across the country.

A special toy drive was held on Capitol Hill for the children of Federal workers impacted by mass layoffs and the government shutdown. The toy drive was organized by WellFed and took place a week before Christmas. All toys not selected were donated to charity to ensure that all local children impacted by financial uncertainty can feel as though their community cared enough to make it special. “Logistically and financially, as well as just kind of spiritually and community-wise, to know that there are people who haven’t forgotten, people that are still trying to help and support and also remember that there are kids involved,” a good Samaritan said.

Local Resistance to ICE in universities, High Schools, and the Boston Harbor.

A Federal Judge has allowed Rumeysa Ozturk, a Tufts University student from Turkey, to resume her studies after being barred from teaching or researching. Earlier this year, she co-authored an Op-Ed criticizing her university’s inaction on the Palestinian genocide. Her foreign student status was terminated without her knowledge. Days later, she was arrested by ICE officers, taken away in an unmarked vehicle, then detained at an immigration facility in Louisiana. “I hope one day we can create a world where everyone uses education to learn, connect, civically engage and benefit others — rather than criminalize and punish those whose opinions differ from our own,” said Öztürk, who is still challenging her arrest and detention in court.

For the 252nd anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, demonstrators dumped ice into the harbor in protest of the Trump administration’s immigration policies. “When King George III forced soldiers into Boston’s streets, levied unjust taxes on imported tea, and refused to hear the people’s voices, the colonial patriots took a stand,” organizers said. “Today, a President who behaves like a king occupies the White House… Let us rise once more to take down tyranny!”

Hundreds of high school students at Apple Valley High in Minnesota, walked out to protest ICE escalations in their communities. The walkout was organized by 15 year old B,B. to energize resistance to ICE during escalated attacks on the Somali community.

Community members are resisting ICE enforcement in many cities by creating safe and protected passages for students on the way to and from school, and establishing local organizing and information sharing networks. Somali and Mexican American communities are exchanging advice and organizing together to build systems of support against the ongoing ICE raids.

Union-led Wins for workers against mass layoffs, police brutality, and education worker exploitation.

Activists from the Baltimore Abolition Movement (BAM), the Baltimore Teacher’s Union (BTU), the Grad Workers Union, Hospital Workers Union, and more rallied to protest the creation of the John Hopkins Police Department. The coalition of activists mobilized in defense of students and community members who are at risk of police brutality. The activists have organized a petition calling for a city council hearing to demand that the city to stop hiring police and withdraw from the agreement. The petition has received about 1,000 signatures and 2024 ballot measure Question E gives the city authority to bring the police department under local control.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to overturn Trump’s executive order stripping Federal workers of their union protections. H.R. 2550 Protect America’s Workforce Act passed with bipartisan support, has been introduced on the Senate floor and is now awaiting a vote where it already has bipartisan Senate support. This victory comes in light of America’s overwhelming support of unions and continuous advocacy from Federal union workers.

Workers at the University of Virginia are demanding better pay, more protections, and a bigger voice in leadership protections. They marched, calling on the Board of Visitors to slow down a presidential search and restore collective bargaining rights. The rally was lead by United Campus Workers of Virginia. They are hopeful that Governor elect Abigail Spanberger will push through a law to restore collective bargaining rights for all public sector workers.
