Fish Fry Fundraiser with Senator Louise Lucas
2022-06-24 18:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Jefferson School African American Heritage Center, 2nd floor (JSAAHC), 233 4th Street NW, Charlottesville, VA, 22903, United States
Our big annual fundraiser will be the long-awaited, much discussed fish fry… with special guest Senator Louise Lucas!

WHEN: Friday, June 24, 6-8pm
WHERE: on the lawn of the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center, 223 4th Street NW

Come meet and hear from Louise Lucas, President pro tempore of the Virginia Senate (and social media star famous for her barbed sense of humor!). VA 5th District candidate Josh Throneburg and VA 5th Chair Patricia Harper-Tunley will also be on hand to say a few words.
The outdoor setting will let us get together in person (finally!) in a safe way to catch up, hang out, and meet new people; it will be great fun! And your ticket purchases fund our November election work and everything else we do this year.
Individual tickets are $15, “bring a friend” tickets are $30, and children under 12 are only $5.
Sponsorships by individuals and companies (at various higher levels that include the dinner) make up the bulk of our proceeds (i.e. our annual budget!), so if you can please choose one of the sponsor options when you get your tickets.
Tickets are now available at https://secure.actblue.com/donate/demsfishfry. Additional event details are there too, e.g. a vegetarian option is available.
Please buy your tickets as soon as possible. We won’t be able to accommodate more than a handful of walk-ins without reservations (if any), so order your tickets now before you forget!

Webinar: Abortion Rights and Access in a Post-Roe Charlottesville
2022-06-23 19:00 - 20:30 | Online (Zoom or other)
Anticipating the Supreme Court overturning abortion rights, the Cville Dems and the Blue Ridge Abortion Fund are sponsoring a Zoom webinar on Thursday June 16, 7:00-8:30pm, to help our community understand and prepare for the local challenges of the post-Roe abortion access landscape.
Pre-register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ssI39I46QEuznYVZsy0_YQ

Virginia is a “receiving” state for abortion seekers; if abortion is banned in other states there’ll be a huge impact on abortion access here.

The webinar, produced by the Fund, will share “in the trenches” perspectives from a variety of Southern abortion funds:

how we got here
why the potential overturning of Roe isn’t just about abortion
how to talk about abortion access as a moral and community good
how community members can support abortion access today.

Please attend if you can (pre-registration required), and please share this invitation widely with friends, family, and anyone who wants/needs to understand this challenging new abortion landscape.

Originally announced as 6/16, it has been rescheduled for 6/23.
