Don’t miss your opportunity to attend this summer’s Women’s Summit as these badass women (and men) celebrate “a decade of grassroots activism, leadership, community, and victories that helped shape Virginia’s political landscape.” Seriously, men are invited! Click for tickets and info.

Early voting in the August primaries began Thursday, June 18th.

Voting hours will be Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM at the registrar’s office. There will also be a ballot dropbox outside of their office for those who wish to deposit absentee ballots.

The City of Charlottesville’s registrar’s address is: City Hall Annex, 120 7th St. NE, Room 142.

President Trump is coming to Charlottesville today, April 10th, 2026. In response, Indivisible Charlottesville is organizing three protests around the city. Please attend if you can!

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?”
