The Charlottesville Democratic Committee
We’ve started doing “Turn Out the Vote Thursdays” every Thursday (taking the place of “Take Action Tuesdays”) from 5-7pm outside of Brazos Tacos, to overlap with the sunset market at IX Park.
We’re writing postcards to newly registered City of Charlottesville voters, making phone calls, and generally doing what’s needed to help us win in November. Come join us and hang out while we help elect Dems!
Our big annual fundraiser will be the long-awaited, much discussed fish fry… with special guest Senator Louise Lucas!
Come meet and hear Sen. 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!
The grassroots group “Bans Off Our Bodies Cville” organized the rally, with very significant organizing support from the Cville Dems. The event was a great success despite some rainy weather, with 300-400 coming out to voice their support for abortion and reproductive rights.
Event speakers were:
Thanks to all the Cville Dems who did Voter Registration (our VR crew also did a second event at the same time!), who volunteered to help make the event happen, and who attended to show our support!
On Saturday, May 14, abortion rights supporters are holding a “Bans Off Our Bodies” rally and protest march in support of abortion access and reproductive freedom. Speakers will include our VA 5th District candidate Josh Throneburg.
We’re supporting the organizers and doing voter registration at the event.
Women’s heath and civil rights have unfortunately become become partisan issues, so Dems need to show up and join the groundswell against concerted Republican efforts (at every level of government) to drag America back to the 1950s (or the 1350s as Justice Alito would prefer).
