The Charlottesville Democratic Committee
“Thursdays at Ix Park” Begins June 26
(every week 5-7pm)
Our volunteer activities at Ix Park will resume this year on June 26, after the June 17 primary chooses the winning candidates. This year we’ll also be helping Lily Franklin in the Blacksburg (VA-41) House of Delegates District with cards, calls, and texts. She lost by under 200 votes last time!
No Kings Day rally organized locally by Indivisible Charlottesville is happening June 14, 12-2 pm at Stonefield to protest Trump trying to turn his birthday into a national extravaganza-with-military-parade; we say nuts to that!! This is a big national protest, we hope another Hands Off rally that turned out 4000+ people in April. It’s exhilarating being there with so many like-minded community members, so plan to come out in numbers (i.e. bring along lots of friends and family) to ensure we send a loud and clear message.
