CVILLE DEM ACTIVITIES FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATION

• WHAT: We will collect toiletries and other personal care items to distribute to those in our community who might need them—things like toilet paper, toothpaste, tampons and shampoo.
• DATE & TIME:  10:00-2:00 on January 18–Martin Luther King Day
• LOCATION:  Washington Park. We will set up in the parking lot at the lower level unless it is raining and if that’s the case we will set up under the shelter.
• If someone would like to donate, but cannot make it during that time, we would be happy to arrange another time to drop off items and we also welcome monetary donations which we will use to purchase needed items. Anyone interested in helping, please email us — see below.
• ALTERNATIVE  or ADDITIONAL WAY TO HELP: You can make a direct donation to Congregate Cville for their Cville Cares fund, which is used to assist our neighbors with transportation, prescription costs and other necessary items that are not typically covered by other forms of assistance:

3 ways you can join us in celebrating the Inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris:

1. NATIONAL DAY OF SERVICE
You can sign up for our Day of Service and read more about this effort.

2. COVID MEMORIAL
PIC will host a memorial to honor the lives lost to COVID-19 in cities and towns across the country on Tuesday, Jan 19, at 5:30 pm ET. There will be a lighting around the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. PIC is inviting cities and towns around the country to join in illuminating buildings and ringing church bells at 5:30 pm ET in a national moment of unity and remembrance.
You can get involved by:

• Encouraging your elected officials to light up city buildings
• Asking clergy to ring bells
• Lighting a candle in your window on January 19 at 5:30 p.m. ET to join in the countrywide moment of remembrance.
• Please fill this out to confirm your participation.

3. VIRTUAL PARADE
In lieu of an in-person parade down Pennsylvania Avenue, the President will participate in a Pass in Review at the Capitol and a Presidential Escort at the White House, followed by a virtual parade, similar to the Democratic National Convention’s Roll Call Across America.

We had an amazing team who worked hard to register voters and to assist with voter rights restoration before the election in November. We want to keep that activism going to make sure everyone is granted the opportunity to make their voice heard.

We will set up registration sites out in the community, work to reach those who may not be registered, and write postcards to our newly-registered voters. We would love your help with any and all of this. Please email us if you would like to join the team at cvilledemschair@gmail.com

Calling all Canvassers!

We have t-shirts, laptop stickers and bumper stickers. Proceeds go directly to supporting the C’ville Dems activities. T-shirts will be delivered by C’ville Dems to your home address if you live within Charlottesville or Albemarle. If you live outside the Charlottesville/Albemarle area, please consider adding a donation to cover shipping costs.
