Josh Throneburg vs Bob Good on the Issues

Posted on September 3, 2022

These 1-pagers show the clear contrast between Josh and his extreme right (and do-nothing) Republican incumbent opponent on issues like Democracy, Education, Gun Violence Prevention, Protecting the Fifth District, and Women’s Issues.

     1-page comparison Josh Throneburg vs Bob Good on the issue of Protecting the Fifth District  List of all the womens' issues Bob Good has voted against.jpg

Please share these with friends and neighbors who don’t yet know who Josh is, and they’ll understand why it’s critical that we Flip the Fifth! And if they need more reasons:

REPORT: Ézé Amos A12 “The Story of Us” Photo Exhibition Events

Posted on August 26, 2022

Ézé Amos giving guided tour of The Story of Us 20220813 guided tour_BoOur two A12 events around Ézé Amos’ photo exhibition The Story of Us: Reclaiming the Narrative of #Charlottesville through Portraits of Community Resilience were very successful.
• Presentation (8/10) — 50 people, in-person and online, attended Ézé’s overview of the exhibition (partially given “in conversation with” Andrea Douglas, Executive Director of the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center). If you missed it, here’s a recording of Ézé’s presentation; the first 24 minutes, mostly Ézé and Andrea discussing how Eze’s became a photojournalist, why he chose the Downtown Mall and racial justice struggles as his main subject areas, and how he chose the 36 photos for this exhibition. The first 24 minutes are audio-only, but the video kicks in when he starts showing the photos.
• Walking Tour (8/13) — What was planned as a one-hour tour lasted two hours as Ézé led us to each installation and explained (much abridged) what was going on in each photo and a bit about each person featured. 100 or more people joined the tour at various points to listen and ask questions.
Thank you Ézé and Andrea and everyone who turned out for this very meaningful A12 commemoration.
If you’ve not seen the photos yet on the Downtown Mall, don’t wait much longer; the photos will be taken down after September 29th, though you’ll be able to visit Eze’s website.

Cville Dems Call for the Resignation/Removal of Bert Ellis from UVA’s Board of Visitors

Posted on August 24, 2022

Text of the resolution passed  at our 8/22 Full Committee meeting:

photo of Bert Ellis Jr. wearing a pale yellow shirt and dark sport jacketThe Charlottesville Democratic Committee deplores Governor Youngkin’s appointment of Bert Ellis to the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia.  Ellis has repeatedly and loudly denounced the University’s efforts at Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI).  Two years ago, he traveled to the University Grounds and attempted to deface with a razor blade a poster with which he disagreed, which a University student had hung on her door.  Most alarmingly, when he was co-chair of the University Union in the 1970’s, he refused to invite a speaker on gay rights because of his opposition to homosexuality, and he invited a notorious eugenicist to a public forum at the University to present his belief that Black people are lower in intelligence than White people.  

The University, which was founded for White men only in a culture of white supremacy, has in recent decades struggled to become more inclusive and more diverse.  It has a long way to go to be fully welcoming to all minorities.  This appointment will harm the University by sending a message that minorities do not truly belong there and that DEI efforts are to be ridiculed and scorned.  We stand with the Executive Board of the Student Council in calling for Mr. Ellis to resign.

Cville Dems A12 Commemoration: Ézé Amos Community Events Wednesday 8/10 and Saturday 8/13

Posted on August 2, 2022

LPortrait of Ézé Amos (B&W)ocal photojournalist and artist Ézé Amos is the creator of the exhibit “The Story of Us: Reclaiming the Narrative of #Charlottesville through Portraits of Community Resilience”, 36 larger-than-life 10′ x 8′ photos mounted front and back on trees all along the Downtown Mall. Each photo will have a QR code linking to a 3-minute recording of the person highlighted in the photo describing that moment in their own words and voice. Eze donated the photos to the City, which will install them August 9-10 (this exhibit is the City’s only anniversary commemoration event).

Ézé is collaborating with us to offer the community two free events meant to help Charlottesville deeply engage with our collective experiences of A12 through the exhibit:

  • Wednesday August 10, 6:30pm — Meeting in the Downtown Library’s Swanson Case Room, Ézé will facilitate a town hall-style presentation in which he will both explain the genesis and intentionality behind “The Story of Us” and also offer attendees a chance to share their emotions and memories of their experiences of that weekend. Come in person or use this Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85683422230
  • Saturday August 13, 11am — Ézé will lead a roughly hour long guided walking tour of the exhibit,  photos. The meetup spot will be the Downtown Mall water fountain at the intersection with 2nd Street NE.

You won’t want to miss these powerful presentations and the chance to engage with Ézé about his very compelling exhibit (two samples below). Please spread the word, please bring family and friends!
