7,000 students. 1,500 schools. One week in Richmond.

The National Speech & Debate Tournament is coming to Richmond June 14–19, and it is one of the largest academic competitions in the country.

These students don't just argue. They research complex policy questions, master the art of persuasion, and learn to listen as carefully as they speak. Competitive speech and debate teaches young people to think on their feet, defend ideas under pressure, and engage seriously with people who disagree with them.

Follow along as we count down to June.

Virginia is one of three states that does not automatically restore the right to vote for people convicted of felonies once they’ve served their sentence. Quadaire Patterson, a criminal justice reform advocate who served 16 years in prison for a felony charge, says it’s time for the commonwealth to change that. A constitutional amendment, which will go before voters this November, will give Virginians a chance to have their say.
