The People's Activist Series is BACK! Hosted by us along with Congregate Charlottesville, and @cvilledsa.bsky.social, this series focuses on using people power to fight #fascism. JOIN US this summer (every Monday, 6-8PM, June 1 to Aug 17) at Visible Records.

Sat is a National Day of Voting Rights Action! Rally in RVA AT 2pm, sponsored by NAACP Virginia State Conference. Cars will leave from Seminole Square at 12:30pm. If you are unable to get to RVA, come to the Pedestrian Bridge on Hwy 29 by Stonefield at 11:30am. Let's build power for the road ahead.

As part of Bike Month, today at McIntire Skate Park it’s Family Bike Day starting at 1pm. Come on out for a good time!

“We’re proud to be able to do our part here in Charlottesville,” Campbell said. “We’re fighting against a millionaire class that is always going to be able to outspend us, and so the way that we fight that is by banding together in solidarity.” #MayDay #MayDayCville #Charlottesville #StrikeReady

'From the beginning to the very end of the event, including all throughout the march, participants sang and chanted. With so many marchers, their presence was felt. “It was incredible...I was actually impressed that we succeeded in shutting down Preston Avenue...it was really powerful.”'

@cvilledsa.bsky.social and crowds at the park! #mayday

Leaving downtown.

We've started marching!

Happening just a little while ago. Amazing turnout! On #MayDay WE SHOW UP! #MayDayCville #StrikeReady #StrikeReadyCville @cvilledsa.bsky.social

Eight Hours for Work, Eight Hours for Rest, Eight Hours for What We Will!

TODAY. See you downtown at noon Charlottesville. #Mayday #maydaycville #strikeready #strikereadycvilke #charlottesville #GeneralStrike

Friday, May 1! Looking forward to this event where we can all make an impact.

TOMORROW: Americans are calling out of work, walking out of school, and refusing to shop on the nationwide day of economic disruption. There are many ways you can get involved on May Day: survey.alchemer.com/s3/8705046/i... Join one of the over 3,000 events planned: www.mobilize.us/mayday/map/?...

@kathrynlaughon.bsky.social has us fired up for #MayDay!

No Shopping! No Work! No School! Join us tomorrow - noon at the Free Speech Wall downtown. #MayDay #StrikeReady

The Community Support fund will be there tomorrow. Will you? Join us! NO work, NO school, NO shopping. Joyful protest and community instead. Hope to see you there!

Yes, we too are angry too about the gutting of the voting rights act. We are also resolved to building a better world. And one tool we can use to do that is a #GeneralStrike. That's we are are getting #StrikeReady. It might feel small, but it is one step we can take to build the solidarity we need.

But we’re not about to treat that catastrophic scenario as a foregone conclusion. Join us and a broad coalition of partners on a mass rapid response call tomorrow to discuss the ruling's implications and plan next steps: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Today's Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana v. Callais is the culmination of John Roberts’ two-decade crusade to gut the Voting Rights Act. It is, simply put, a devastating blow to American democracy.

THIS FRIDAY MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD. Join us in voicing our demands through powerful songs and chants as we march in solidarity to Washington Park! Meet at the Free Speech Wall downtown at noon, then we'll march to Booker T. Washington Park for the May Day Solidarity Celebration!

A friendly reminder: find community, build solidarity, join us and @cvilledsa.bsky.social Friday at noon at the Free Speech Wall! TY @jalaneschmidt.bsky.social for the call to action! Details on our website: www.indivisiblecharlottesville.org/strikeready

CVCSF is excited to be a part of this new campaign to support the grocery needs of immigrant families in our community. If you can, please chip in! Trusted community members will get these grocery cards where they need to go www.paypal.com/donate?campa...

Got a few $ to help our immigrant neighbors buy groceries? @commsupportfund.bsky.social, @legalaidjustice.bsky.social, @indivisiblecville.bsky.social, Sin Barreras & other trusted community members are organizing this effort to provide essentials for folks impacted by ICE. Please pitch in and share!

“We are living in a time where billionaires rule our government. Corporations have taken over control of just about everything. And it’s time for people to speak up, to fight for the 99%, to build a world where everyone has autonomy and freedom,” @kathrynlaughon.bsky.social said.

Today is the last day you can donate directly to Indivisible Charlottesville and have it go directly to this campaign! Donation link, and #MayDay link below.

NO Wars, NO ICE, May First, General Strike! Join us, @cvilledsa.bsky.social, and your friends and neighbors, downtown by the Free Speech Wall at noon! #MayDay #MayDayCville, #StrikeReady #strikereadycville

ONE MORE WEEK. NEXT Friday join us & @cvilledsa.bsky.social at 12 pm downtown, then march to Booker T. Washington Park. NO WORK NO SCHOOL NO SHOPPING YES to Protesting! And yes to building a community and a world that works for everyone. #MayDayCville #StikeReadyCville #StrikeReady #GeneralStrike

Hello all of you amazing helpers...we have an ask. Well, we actually have two asks. We’re collecting grocery cards for two different efforts and your support can make a real difference in both (1/4):

Fr @us.theguardian.com “the pro-democracy movement can’t ask working people to defend abstract principles while they can’t afford housing, paying bills or accessing healthcare. We need a national movement that does both. That’s why labor and community organizations are throwing down hard this May 1”

THIS Sunday. Come show your appreciation for unions and all that they have brought us, and find us at Labor in the Park. 2-4 PM - Ix Art Park. #UnionStrong

How are you supporting #MayDay? Join us and @cvilledsa.bsky.social, alongside neighbors, friends, and fellow workers, to march and rally for workers over billionaires, no war and no ICE, and no rigged elections. #maydaycville #strikereadycville #StrikeReady #GeneralStrike

Thursday, 6-7:30pm: come together @jsaahccville.bsky.social for a session by @indivisiblecville.bsky.social & @cvilledsa.bsky.social We’ll run some simulations about how to respond, in the moment, to unsafe situations. It’s good to have tactics ready for when problems pop up at protests.

THURSDAY: Join us and @cvilledsa.bsky.social to explore how to align safety with strategy in rapid-response challenges. Help grow our capacity for strong confident collective action, with #MayDay as our starting point and ending authoritarianism as our big picture. This is how we get #strikeready!

Today we vote yes, tomorrow we build people power. We want a democracy that actually works for working people, & we are organizing (with folks like @cvilledsa.bsky.social) to build it! #MayDay #MayDayCville #StrikeReady #StrikeReadyCville #GeneralStrike

Please update your post—you don’t need to have just turned 18! You need to be 18 before Nov 3, the general election, to be able to vote today. Just walk into your polling place and cast a provisional ballot!

Let’s go! VOTE YES. #Elections #Virginia

Fight back, vote yes. Why are we going to the polls to vote yes today? Step one in stopping this regime from kidnapping people. Polls are open until 7pm. Just turned 18? Just moved here from out of state? We have same day voter registration. Link to find polling location below.

Today is the day. The last day! Let’s go Virginia. Get out there and vote. Fight back! Vote yes!

This is the opportunity of a lifetime. We have an opportunity to make history, to contribute to building a better stronger more inclusive democracy. This is just one step, but it’s an important one. Fight back. #VoteYes. Just a few more days! Let’s go.

Seen in the wilds of downtown Charlottesville: #StopTrump #VoteYes by April 21. Let’s go Virginia!

More about yesterday’s rally and CCS board working session on police in our schools.

Hear from Sam Heath, Executive Director of the Commonwealth Justice Coalition, about yesterday’s rally and the CCS board working session on police in our schools.

Join our Cville community on May 1 for the #MayDay Solidarity March and Celebration cosponsored by us and @cvilledsa.bsky.social and us! We’re building our capacity to be #StrikeReady in case a #GeneralStrike is needed! #MayDayCville #StrikeReadyCville, Ty @evanwh1te.bsky.social for this:

We’re excited to join May Day Strong, labor groups, and other allies to flex our economic power in a massive day of economic disruption on May 1. There are many ways you can take action, from refusing to shop, to walking out of work, to attending a demonstration: www.mobilize.us/mayday/?utm_...

Thank you everyone who showed up this evening.

@alixeharrow.bsky.social reporting from the CCS board working session on police in schools!

As @jalaneschmidt.bsky.social points out here - We protest because the visibility of our dissent is in itself important. Power often depends on silence.
