Kushaan Soodan stepped up in our time of need to replace Will Evans as our new co-secretary. Kushaan is a second year UVA student, looking to major in Public Policy and Economics at UVA’s Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy.
He’s deeply interested in learning about youth engagement in politics and community organizing. Kushaan (very successfully!) served as a Cville Dems intern during the presidential election season, registering tons of UVA students on Grounds.
Kushaan is also involved with UVA’s International Relations Organization, where he helped staff and organize Model United Nations conferences for high school, university students, and the broader community.

Hundreds of people have been joining area protests (see above for one this Saturday!) organized or co-organized by Indivisible Charlottesville.
The goal of rallies is to encourage people to “Raise their voices, vote when the next elections come, and stand up for democracy and the kind of world we want to live,” Dan Doernberg (Indivisible Charlottesville and Charlottesville Dem member) said in an NBC29 interview.
Think protests don’t make an impact? Check out this now-classic article on the power of nonviolent protest movements. (Note: 3.5% of the US adult population is about 9 million people).

Since he’s not coming to Charlottesville to hear from his constituents, Kristin Szakos is helping to organize trips his nearest office in Lynchburg so he does hear from us! Consider coming along some time; contact kszakos@gmail.com for information.
You can also write or call McGuire’s office to share your concerns:
McGuire’s feeble telephone town hall last month won’t do; he needs to face his constituents and answer their questions in person. Indivisible Charlottesville is organizing a town hall during his April recess (April 14-27). Stay tuned for time and place; we’ll have all the details in our weekly Call to Action email.
He’s been invited to attend, but if he doesn’t, Democrats and others will still hold the town hall to make our demands for “redress of grievances,” as the Constitution’s First Amendment guarantees.

We’re hearing about various boycotts as protests swell against GOP’s outright unconstitutional policies and orders. We’ll tell you what we hear about, but please understand that we don’t know more about the events/organizers than you do (if you visit their links). These boycotts originated from grassroots efforts of Americans looking to regain control over corporate influence.

The People’s Union USA is urging another boycott, of Amazon and sister sites like Prime and Whole Foods, from March 7 to 14. Their first boycott was on Feb. 28, deemed a no-buy day.
There is also a Target boycott, until April 14. https://www.targetfast.org/
