Bill > SJR302

This concurrent resolution commends Kimberly Ann Bobo upon her retirement as co-executive director of the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy, recognizing her significant contributions to workers' rights and social justice. The resolution highlights Bobo's nine-year leadership of the non-partisan organization, which brings together people from diverse religious backgrounds to advocate for racial, social, and economic justice. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and holding degrees from Barnard College and the New School for Social Research, Bobo previously founded Interfaith Worker Justice in Chicago and came to Virginia in 2016. During her tenure, she mobilized faith advocacy campaigns, supported initiatives like paid sick leave and minimum wage increases, and helped expand Medicaid. The resolution also notes her work as an author, speaker, and active community member, including her participation in church and community choirs. The General Assembly resolves to commend Bobo for her achievements and directs the Senate Clerk to prepare a copy of the resolution to be presented to her as an expression of admiration for her work supporting workers throughout Virginia.
