: Advocates on a Zoom lobby call with Del. Glenn Davis (R-Virginia Beach). Lobby days are an important tradition in Virginia politics, when advocacy groups bring their members together at the state capitol to hold demonstrations and speak with lawmakers face-to-face. COVID-19 has changed all of that. The Virginia Citizens Defense League, a group which holds its well-known lobby day on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, organized a car rally this year instead of a more traditional one which would likely not meet Gov. Ralph Northam’s social distancing standards. Many other advocacies are choosing to take their work entirely online.
