Grant awarded to reduce racial disparities in urban maternal and infant mortality Urban Baby Beginnings, a community-based maternal health hub and home visiting program designed to reach birthing and postpartum families regardless of their income level, has been awarded a $1 million grant to launch its newest telehealth platform and ground team, REBYRTH. The grant was awarded through the Safer Childbirth Cities initiative, founded by Merck for Mothers, focused on helping cities become safer, more equitable places to give birth. The REBYRTH platform will connect Medicaid and WIC eligible pregnant women of color in Norfolk with maternal health perinatal specialists of color, including community doulas.

The three-year project, in partnership with Mother Health International (MHI) and Virginia Neonatal Perinatal Collaborative (VNPC), will bring communities and stakeholders together to identify key drivers of maternal and infant health disparities and develop projects to reduce maternal and infant mortality in the area. The program is designed to build the perinatal workforce of color and will serve over 1,300 pregnant and postpartum people over the next

three years.

Virginia Department of Health local statistics identify that the City of Norfolk preterm birth rate is 12.31 for every 1,000 births and Black infants have a 15.09 preterm

birth rate, whereas statewide, the preterm birth rate is 9.41. The maternal mortality rate among Black and Brown birthing families in the State of Virginia is 2-3 times higher than white families. The

March of Dimes 2020 Persistats report shows that the area’s preterm birth rate has worsened since last year.

Measure to restore felon’s voting rights ok’d DIEGO RAYAS CNS - A constitutional amendment that would set up an automatic restoration of political rights is headed to the Senate.

As proposed by Del. Charniele Herrin, D-Alexandria, HJ 555 seeks to allow felons to have their political rights restored after completing their prison sentence. This would give felons the right to hold public office, become a notary public, serve on a jury,and vote. HJ 555 goes to the Senate for a vote after passing the House with 58-41 votes, mostly along party lines.

“Felon disenfranchisement has racist Jim Crow origins. It was intended to disenfranchise as many black voters as possible,” Herring said in support of her bill.

The Virginia Constitution outlines that people found guilty of felonies lose their right to vote and can only have that right restored by the governor or other appropriate authority. Herring’s bill would add

Del. Charniele Herring the following to the amendment “or until completion of his sentence of imprisonment, at which time, without further action required of him, his political rights, including the right to vote, shall be restored.”

Herring's bill has received support from organizations such as the

(from page 1) and evidence-based information As Hampton Roads’ largest community-based perinatal social support provider, UBB’s maternal health hub provides a network of nurses and perinatal health workers who have experience as community doulas, family support specialists, maternal mental health paraprofessionals, and lactation peer-based counselors; all available to the birthing individual as they make their journey to parenthood.

“By removing barriers that prevent birthing and postpartum women of color from connecting to community-based social support programming, we hope this will increase the number of families that receive culturally reflective care

early in pregnancy through the use of perinatal specialists such as community doulas. Studies show the use of trained perinatal specialists reduces disparities and improves birth and postpartum outcomes.

Urban Baby Beginnings program emphasizes individualized support, coaching, cultural awareness, and wellness, which is critical for addressing issues specific Black and Brown birthing communities,” said Stephanie Spencer, Urban Baby Beginnings executive director.

Rachel Zaslow, executive director of Mother Health International: “Racial disparities in birth outcomes is a systemic issue and thus we must have systemic solutions.

Community driven care that is

American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Prison Fellowship Advocacy. Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe spoke in support of HJ 555 while it was being voted on in committee last week.

“It is time for us to reverse what has been a racist law, and we need to build a more equitable Virginia,” said McAuliffe during the committee meeting. “This is a Jim Crow ear racist law. It was put in our constitution in 1902 specifically to disenfranchise black Virginians, and unfortunately, it has been very successful.”

From 2014 to 2018, during his tenure as governor, McAuliffe restored the voting rights of over 173,000 Virginians through executive orders.

Virginia is one of only 11 states that prevent felons from voting and does not yet have an automatic restoration process.

Sammy Perez, a senior manager at Prison Fellowship, also expressed his support for the bill. He spoke about his experience with getting

his rights restored and about some of his organization’s work.

“We believe that the right to vote is a person's primary right of citizens, and forever denying voting rights to people convicted of felonies imposes a form of second-class citizenship,” Perez said.

Del. Chris Head, R-Roanoke, voted against HJ 555.

“While I understand the sentiment behind this amendment, I have a couple of concerns just personally about it in that I think that there are some situations where completing a corrective process that the probationary period would still be pretty important for a lot of people,” Head said. “I think that you would have a much better shot at getting this across the finish line with the public once it goes onto the ballot by leaving it as it was originally filed. To that end, I am prepared to support it as filed, but without this, I won’t be able to.

I have an idea that there will be others that will feel that same way.”

grounded in supporting the needs of the birthing person is the foundation that all reproductive care must build upon. Mother Health International is thrilled to be partnering with Urban Baby Beginnings to develop education platforms and models of care that are whole person and whole community focused.”

“Working collaboratively with partners within the community to identify and understand the barriers and challenges impacting maternal and infant health, will assist state partners, organizations and stakeholders in developing respectful care programs, initiatives and policies focused on improving maternal and infant health outcomes,” said Shannon Pursell,

executive director for the Virginia Neonatal Perinatal Collaborative.

“As we continue to collectively and intentionally work together to ensure respectful and quality care is provided to all women across the Commonwealth, we will make Virginia the safest state to have a baby.”

Project REBYRTH will serve families of color who are traditionally excluded from highquality community-based social support programs due to lack of income and/or adequate insurance.

Applications for support will be accepted from City of Norfolk residents who are pregnant or postpartum up to 60 days, identify as Black or Brown and are Medicaid insured or WIC eligible starting in the Summer of 2021.

Speak

Louder Words have value, especially when they are used to make a promise. But the most important thing about a promise is the action you take afterward. At Dominion Energy, we believe in taking action – to deliver on our commitment to help people, communities, and the environment.

COVID-19 Response and Support In response to the pandemic’s economic impact, Dominion Energy has stepped up to meet the needs of our customers. We suspended all service disconnections for non-payment to provide uninterrupted, reliable service 24/7. We have given more than $1 million to support coronavirus relief efforts by the American Red Cross and other nonprofits, to help our communities in need.

Social Justice and Higher Education At Dominion Energy, we believe higher education is critical to addressing centuries of institutional racism. That is why we have committed $35 million to our initiative supporting historically Black colleges and universities, and to minority student scholarships. In addition, we have allocated another $5 million to promote social justice and community building.

Solar and Wind Energy To build a cleaner energy future, we have added more than 3.5 million solar panels throughout Virginia, helping to make us America’s third largest in solar. In addition, we are developing the largest offshore wind project in the U.S., which will produce enough energy to power 660,000 homes by 2026.

EnergyShare® For years, our EnergyShare® program has helped our neighbors across Virginia, assisting individuals and their families with bill payment and energy saving upgrades. As of today, the program has helped more than 858,000 people. In 2020, we expanded the EnergyShare® program to assist those impacted by the coronavirus with an additional $500,000 to help provide energy bill relief for small businesses, nonprofits, and houses of worship throughout Virginia.

Lower Rates And to help residential customers, we have kept our rates more than 10%* below the national average.

Turning promises into reality is what defines us. That is why we are proud to invest in what we believe in, and what we know is important to you.

The LEGACY

Save the checks for those who need them most ROGER CHESLEY President Joe Biden wants to supercharge the sputtering economy, vaccinate millions of Americans against COVID-19, and help people by issuing another round of stimulus checks. He and members of Congress are grappling with the best way to do that, and Republicans have offered less-expensive alternatives to the president’s $1.9 trillion plan.

I have a suggestion that could ease the strain on government debt and unite Republicans and Democrats alike: Don’t send me any more stimulus cash.

Plenty of Americans, in fact, probably would agree they’re doing just fine now. The people receiving federal checks this time around, instead, should still be out of work, still fighting poverty, and still wondering about their own survival – financially and otherwise.

More than 444,000 have died from COVID-19 in the United States.

My wife, aka “The Boss,” gets skittish anytime I even hint at our personal economics in print. Yet Michele agreed I could discuss our situation – within reason – to make The LEGACY NEWSPAPER Vol. 7 No. 6 Mailing Address P.O. Box 12474 Richmond, VA 23241 Office Address 105 1/2 E.

a broader point about who needs help now, nearly 12 months after this awful pandemic reached the United States.

So here goes: We have no major debt, not even a car note (our newest ride is a 2012 Honda). The Boss works fulltime, toiling away at home. We have health care through her employer.

Meanwhile, I cobble together regular writing assignments from The Virginia Mercury and other publications. We can pay bills and still save money.

Simply put: Why give us any more federal stimulus? We’d just deposit the money, anyway.

As Fortune.com reported this week: The pandemic has frightened Americans “into saving more, and many recipients of the previous stimulus checks banked much of that money. Personal savings have surged by over $1 trillion since the pandemic began and now total more than $11 trillion, by far the highest in U.S. history.”

I know I could simply donate a new federal check to charity. Yet that altruistic act, alone, won’t shore up the federal budget the same way as reducing the number of recipients this time around.

The Boss and I count our blessings. We know plenty of folks aren’t as fortunate, including some who live in the commonwealth.

They’re people like Kacey Moss, a 29-year-old single mother of two who lives in North Chesterfield.

She’s been out of work since May 2019, in a job where she cleaned homes. She’s had trouble finding a new job since she’d have to get child care for her toddler son.

Moss lives with her mother, and she receives government assistance

that helps pay for basic necessities like shoes, diapers and wipes. Moss said an overdue hospital bill led to a lien on an earlier stimulus check.

Still, she’d appreciate another round.

It would pay for “anything my kids might need,” Moss told me this week.

Charles Robins has recently regained his cooking-dining services gig at Virginia Tech, after he was furloughed after Thanksgiving. The 34-year-old works 30 hours a week, and he earns about $1,200 a month before taxes.

Robins, who also volunteers with the grassroots group Virginia Organizing, told me a new round of stimulus checks would be a lifeline and help with overdue bills. He also suffers from angina and diabetes.

“For low-income folks, it would be excellent,” said Robins, who lives in Christiansburg. “The middle class and the upper class, they’re all set.”

Negotiations between the president and Congress are evolving. An administration spokeswoman said this week, according to The Washington Post, the White House would consider narrowing eligibility for a new

No privilege in poverty

I hear all this talk about white privilege. Growing up in an innercity dwelling is surely filled with hardships but these dwellers at least have access to a real kitchen, running water, an indoor bathroom and even television and radio reception. These are luxuries that many Appalachian kids did not have growing up.

Even today, in too many places in East, Kentucky, where I grew up, and throughout Appalachia there are still families growing up without indoor bathrooms, access to water and surviving daily hunger.

Internet cannot be found in too many Appalachian areas. These are the scenarios that have become ignored by media, government and employers. Thank God it’s not even close to what it once was but I’ve been in the hollers of the mountains and seen enough to know poverty is still real and a cruel existence.

Today, 14 of the 50 poorest counties in the United States are all from

the same East Kentucky region that Johnson visited in 1964. For Martin county, “The per capita income is just over $18,000,” according to the 2019 Census reporter. Twenty-six (26.3) percent of the county is still at the poverty level according to Data USA with a median household income of $35,125. The county is 99 percent white. Does this sound like a place of white privilege? McCreary county is located in the Daniel Boone National Forest in southern Kentucky along the Tennessee state border. The only county nationwide where most households earn less than $20,000 a year, McCreary is the poorest county in both Kentucky and the United States.

The life expectancy is just 73. (USA Today) Does this sound like white privilege? The Washington Post reported that the life expectancy for the 5thdistrict in Eastern, Kentucky is under 73 making it the shortest life span expectancy in the United States. Owsley County Kentucky's life span expectancy has been reported to be 67.3 years while in San Jose, California the life expectancy is 83.

The white privilege I enjoyed as a kid was that I was fortunate to be raised around hard-working people.

My dad spent four hours a day driving to and from Holden, West Virginia to work in an underground coal mine. He spent over 30 years

stooped over, on his knees or on his back in a dark coal mine. He made a living until at the age of 55 his health started failing him and he had to quit. He and my mother kept food on the table. We raised a garden. We had livestock. My family worked hard. My uncles and aunts farmed and worked whatever jobs they could find to make ends meet. My grandfather and grandmother Hinkle worked in a very small grocery store six days a week until he was 83 and she was 80. They worked hard until they died. No one had unemployment checks rolling in. No one had Social Security Disability checks. No one was receiving stimulus checks.

There weren’t food stamps or other federal or state money available to help anyone out. Our family had a mindset to work because that was our only means of surviving.

I have never experienced anything like what some of my American friends have experienced growing up. Or, what some still experience.

I'm certainly not intending to belittle your experiences or trying to “one up you” on who was poorer or had it harder. Just be aware that Appalachia is still filled with hurting, poverty-stricken people of different colors. Poverty never comes with privilege regardless of color.

Glenn Mollette

(from page 4) round of stimulus payments, but not lowering the amount below $1,400 per person.

Biden met with a group of Senate Republicans recently to discuss competing proposals. Those members want a scaled-down overall package that costs around $600 billion.

What Biden shouldn’t do is cave on other parts of his plan, including increasing the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. It’s been stuck at $7.25 an hour since 2009.

Emergency aid for struggling local and state governments also is vital.

Nor should the president accept complaints from Republicans that his proposal is “too costly.”

These are the same folks – now suffering from amnesia – who gladly busted federal coffers under then-President Donald Trump in 2017. They approved tax cuts that nonpartisan analysts said overwhelmingly benefited the nation’s wealthiest people.

Where people of both parties can agree is that plenty of Americans, including me, don’t need yet a third round of stimulus checks since the pandemic began. We can work from home, make ends meet, and wait out this crisis.

Other people can’t. The government should target new stimulus checks to the people who may fall into the abyss without them.

Help them, Mr. President.

The LEGACY

Competitive suppliers’ attempt to reopen Va.’s renewable energy mkt faces tough utility opposition VM - A bill that would let millions of electric customers in Virginia again begin purchasing renewable energy from companies other than the utility that controls their territory cleared the House of Delegates last week but now faces a Senate committee that struck the proposal down in 2020.

“The Senate oftentimes is a higher hurdle to get over,” said Del. Jeff Bourne, D-Richmond, the sponsor of House Bill 2048. “I think we’ve got a puncher’s chance, right? So we’re going to go in and give it all we got.”

Bourne’s bill targets a provision of state code that allows licensed third-party suppliers to sell “100 percent renewable energy” to customers in utility territory as long as the utility isn’t offering the same product. On the books since 2007, the law was rarely used until relatively recently, when renewables prices began to fall and more Americans began to shy away from carbon-emitting fossil fuels.

Increasingly, corporations were also looking to renewable energy, both for cost savings and to meet sustainability targets attractive to investors. In 2016, one group of 18 heavy-hitters including Best Buy, Microsoft, Nestle and Walmart wrote a letter to the State Corporation Commission, which regulates Virginia utilities, asking for “an explicit legal framework” that would give companies the choice of getting renewable energy from either the reigning utility or a third-party supplier. Businesses like Costco were also looking to other loopholes in state law that would let them get out of having to buy electricity from Dominion Energy, which they said was overcharging them.

With demand on the rise, nonutility companies like Direct Energy, Calpine and Constellation took advantage of the renewable

energy provision of state code and began signing up customers.

According to numbers from the Virginia Energy Choice website funded by Direct Energy and Vistra Energy, 12,000 businesses switched from Dominion to renewable energy suppliers between September 2019 and July 2020, with another 6,800 in the queue at that time.

Facing the loss of customers, Dominion in particular fiercely resisted the incursion, and in May 2019 started the process of setting up its own renewable energy service, often colloquially called a green tariff.

Appalachian Power had a program on its books that started in 2019, and regulators approved Dominion’s in July 2020, despite an outcry from businesses unhappy with the tariff’s inclusion of energy from facilities fueled by biomass and, in the original proposal, mostly coal. That approval triggered what Bourne calls a “kill switch” in state code: Once the utility offers renewable

energy, the renewables market is shut down. Third-party suppliers can keep their existing customers but are barred from signing up new ones.

The competitive energy companies have fought back. In 2020, they backed a version of Bourne’s bill that would get rid of the kill switch.

That law cleared the House but died in the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee, which has long been viewed as friendly to Dominion and is chaired by Senate Majority Leader D-Saslaw, a major recipient of Dominion campaign contributions.

Then, unexpectedly, the bill was revived in the final weeks of the 2020 session. Although Dominion had railed against the measure in prior hearings, the utility lodged no objection to its resurrection, which came with a condition: to go into effect, the law had to be passed again in 2021.

This year’s House Bill 2048 is largely the same as the 2020

proposal, with the addition of a provision that would require the renewable suppliers to propose discounted service to low-income households.

A host of businesses is backing the change, many of them strange bedfellows. On the business side, companies like Kroger, Walmart and Target have joined with groups like the Southern Environmental Law Center and Conservatives for Clean Energy.

“This legislation is overall a good bill for business and will allow grocery stores to meet sustainability goals that they’ve set for themselves,” Parker Slaybaugh, executive director of the Virginia Food Industry Association, told delegates during one hearing on the bill.

The renewable supply companies have also been pouring money into campaigns: According to the Virginia Public Access Project, Direct Energy contributed $23,750 to lawmakers, mostly during the fall of 2020. Most of the recipients were Democrats, including Bourne, but the company also targeted a handful of sympathetic Republicans, including Sen. Richard Stuart, R-Stafford, Sen. David Suetterlein, R-Roanoke County, and Del. Tony Wilt, R-Rockingham.

So far, Bourne has seen some success: On Friday, his bill cleared the House on a bipartisan 6732 vote. Opposition in House committees from both Dominion and Appalachian Power, however, signals a rough road ahead in the Senate.

The utilities have returned to the arguments they made against the measure in 2020, casting the bill as a dangerous foray into deregulation that will result in the shifting of costs from customers that leave the pool to those that remain.
