Democracy & Constitution Days Celebration (9/16/23)

When: Sept. 16, 2:00–3:30pm
Where: Downtown Mall Free Speech Wall

As Republicans nationwide disenfranchise vulnerable populations with voter suppression laws, and online platforms polarize our politics and sow distrust in our institutions, voters are recognizing the urgent threat to our democracy and are looking to push back… hence this event!

Speakers at this pro-democracy rally include our own Josh Throneburg, Meg Heubeck, Chair of the League of Women Voters of the Charlottesville Area and Director of Instruction at UVA’s Center for Politics, and Prof. Bruce Williams from UVA Media Studies Department.

Local musicians Theocles, Jon Nafziger, and the Green Grannies will also participate. The League of Women Voters will register voters and provide important voting information.
