Ways to Voice Grievances about Federal Overreach

Posted on

Call your Rep. John McGuire and tell him what you think about federal agents, law enforcement, and possibly even military members on standby to deploy in Minneapolis to shut down civic protesters. Two phone numbers for his offices are below this message. Here’s suggested wording to the McGuire staff:

“Thank you. Please tell him that as a voter in his district, I’m deeply concerned by the lack of transparency surrounding the shooting of a U.S. citizen and reports of federal agents using chemical weapons on peaceful crowds. I don’t want the US military to be deployed against those who are protesting. I expect constitutional due process and government accountability, no matter which state it’s happening in. Can you confirm this comment will be shared with his legislative team?”

ALSO:

The Justice Department’s civil rights office has refused to investigate the killing of Renee Good. It’s their job to investigate and prosecute civil rights violations (like the use of excessive force) by law enforcement officers. One thing you can do today is call the head of the office, Harmeet Dhillon, and demand a thorough and immediate investigation.

The office line is (202) 514-3847. Please leave a message if no one answers.

VICTORY! Charlottesville Dems were busy right up to the watch party on Election Night 

A standing-room only crowd at the Random Row Brewery chat excitedly and watch large-screen TVs above to learn about the winning Democratic election results on Election Night 2025.

The standing-room-only watch party of Watch Party of Cville Dems and& and Albemarle Dems Watch Party at Random Row Brewery turned into a huge celebration – and a big part of a national Democratic party celebration – once the results came in that Abigail Spanberger would be Virginia’s first female governor. That Nov. 4 election night, 

Tthe good news continued as Ghazala Hashmi becamewon as Virginia’sour first Muslim woman to hold statewide office – Lieutenant Governor, and to complete the trifecta, Jay Jones won as Attorney General. All that hard work from our volunteers and voters, every bit of it, paid off at the polls.



VOTE ON TUESDAY, NOV. 4 for Dems!

Posted on

Most importantly, please vote on Tuesday, Nov. 4, at your precinct polling location if you haven’t yet. Polls are open at 6am and close at 7pm. If you are in line at 7pm you can still vote. Early voting has ended at the Registrar’s Office.

Please support all statewide and local Dems. Jay Jones especially needs your support, because if Jason Miyares wins as Attorney General, he will most likely hold up the governor’s work constantly.

If you haven’t signed up to volunteer at the polls tomorrow but still want to, please contact your precinct chair first, by visiting here: https://cvilledems.org/precinct-chairs . There may be open time slots left for your precinct table.

It’s fun: answer questions, make friends, hand out literature, and even get some volunteer sign-ups for the future.
