Timeline

2017

In 2017, Bobo became Executive Director for the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy (VICPP), in Richmond, Virginia where she has led many economic, racial, social, and environmental justice legislative victories. She mobilized a historic faith advocacy campaign and played a leadership role in the statewide Healthcare for All Virginians coalition advocating Medicaid expansion, which passed in 2018. During the 2019 Virginia General Assembly, Bobo led VICPP's efforts to win two wage theft reform bills: one to remove the Jim Crow exemptions from the Virginia Minimum Wage, and the other to require employers to provide a paystub to workers explaining how they are paid. VICPP was also involved in numerous other legislation, including tuition equity, environmental justice, tenants' rights, and criminal justice reform. Bobo publicized the findings of "The High Cost of Being Poor in Virginia," a report released in October 2016 by the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy and the Coalition on Human Needs. With the help of Rev. David Gortner, of the Virginia Theological Seminary she co-founded a private living wage program in Alexandria, Virginia. The program offers certification and recognition to businesses that pay their workers a wage in line with living costs of the city.

In 2012, when Walmart was celebrating its 50th anniversary, she called on the corporation to ensure a living wage for its employees.

Bobo was selected for the 2012 Pacem in Terris Peace and Freedom Award. The award commemorates Pope John XXIII's 1963 encyclical letter, Pacem in terris, which means "Peace on Earth".
