Please come out and show your support and interest in Charlottesville Democrats!
The public is invited to gather in urgent interdependence on the 4th of July at 1pm, at the University of Virginia Rotunda Jefferson statue (University Avenue side) for a peaceful rally demonstrating our collective dismay at the forced resignation of UVA President Jim Ryan.
His ousting was an attempted hostile takeover of the University by the federal government that flies in the face of historically struggled-for ideals, values, and civil rights that began 250 years ago.
A range of University and community stakeholders will speak briefly. The rally’s second part will feature an open mic for public expression (2-minute limit per person). The rally was organized by UPRISE! Creative Collective C’ville and co-sponsored by Indivisible Charlottesville.
No Kings Day rally organized locally by Indivisible Charlottesville is happening June 14, 12-2 pm at Stonefield to protest Trump trying to turn his birthday into a national extravaganza-with-military-parade; we say nuts to that!! This is a big national protest, we hope another Hands Off rally that turned out 4000+ people in April. It’s exhilarating being there with so many like-minded community members, so plan to come out in numbers (i.e. bring along lots of friends and family) to ensure we send a loud and clear message.
We’ll remind you again in the coming weeks, but the volunteer activities at Ix Park will resume this year after the June 17 primary, once we know which candidates will be on the final election ballot for Charlottesville voters. The time will be 5-7pm for Ix Park activities.
This year we’ll also be helping Lily Franklin in the Blacksburg (VA-41) House of Delegates District with cards, calls, and texts. She lost by under 200 votes in her last try, and we want to bring her over the finish line with a seat in Richmond.
Members of Indivisible Charlottesville, Cville Dems, and allied organizations will be standing in front of the Albemarle County Building on McIntire Road from 5:00-6:30pm on Thursday, May 1 in a demonstration of solidarity with working families and everyone whose basic needs are under threat.
We’re standing for shared humanity when we all stand in “moral opposition” to the unlawful tactics of this administration. Hundreds of working people, parents, students and community members will rise in every corner of the country to fight for dignity, justice, and public investment in our lives.
This local action is part of a national mass mobilization day, a follow-up to the very successful April 5th “Hands Off” rally where 5,000 people showed up; it was amazing and empowering and sent an incredibly loud and clear message!
We know that Thursday right after work is not as convenient a time as Saturday afternoon was on April 5, but we’re asking you to put up with some inconvenience and continue standing up for American Democracy! Turnout matters: we want to come as close as possible to the 5,000 people who showed up for Hands Off. You can let your network know you’re standing up for democracy by RSVPing to the Facebook event.
