More Actions

Belatedly, many Trump voters are returning to rationality. To further that renaissance, we should politely ask questions of our Republican-voting friends and family. We know that personal conversations can lead to change, and these questions should resonate with most any listener, especially when asked without anger or tension, and with understanding and decency.

Reference Christians: “Is there an exception to ‘Thou shalt not kill’ for masked ICE agents? Or when those killed are on boats at sea?”

Reference African Americans: “Why isn’t spreading vile videos placing the heads of any Black Americans on the bodies of chimpanzees considered racist by today’s White House?”

Reference the rich: “Why would elected officials cancel nearly finished infrastructure projects, especially when those projects could ONLY decrease the costs for electricity in a time of high inflation?”

Phone and Text Banking

Starting this Thursday, March 5th, Charlottesville Democrats will meet on Thursday evenings to text and phone bank for Democrats targeted by Rural GroundGame and/or Virginians for Fair Elections. We will meet from 6 PM to 8 PM inside Brazo Tacos at IX Park (925 2nd Street SE). Come make calls and text fellow voters to encourage them to support the upcoming referendum!

This Saturday, February 28th, the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center is hosting its annual Liberation Day walk/run. The event route highlights the Black history of Charlottesville, and the money raised will benefit Black led organizations.
