SUMMARY:"Hands Off UVA!!" Rally at the Rotunda
DESCRIPTION: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. \nHis 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. \nA 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.
