March 28. Rt. 29. We’re standing up for our rights. We’re standing up for our neighbors. #NoKingsCharlottesville, #NoKings

Why are you going to #NoKings? Donna is going because she is fed up with what’s going on in our country and wants the world to know! No kings. No thrones. No fear.

This Sunday (3/15) Kristin Szakos and @jalaneschmidt.bsky.social are going to be talking about the long history (and impact) of people power. Join your fellow community members to learn more about nonviolent direct action (what it is, what it asks of us, what it’s accomplished).

The People’s Activist Series is back! Join us Saturday to practice talking about strike readiness with your friends and neighbors. What is a general strike, how can general strikes topple fascist regimes, and what does May Day have to do with it?

We have your Friday lunch plans: our own @kathrynlaughon.bsky.social “reminds us that movements don't start in Washington — they start in living rooms, community centers, and local meeting halls.”

Friday! We'll be preparing to share our music at the No Kings Day protest on March 28. Please carpool if possible, or park at Washington Park or on the street. #SingingResistance, #NoKings

Visibility Brigade out and about. #NoMoreWar, #NoToWar, #NoWarWithIran

ALL HANDS - This Saturday, March 7, 10 AM - NOON, at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Charlottesville, 717 Rugby Road. Child care available! Help shape our work, and find your place in the collective effort to fight authoritarianism, strengthen our democracy, and keep our community safe.

Our Statement on the US attacks on #Iran. We call on Congressman John McGuire and @kaine.senate.gov and @markwarner.bsky.social to show courage & stop hiding from their Constitutional duties.

Great coverage of Cville's Sing Out showing the "a long history of musical protest," from the US Civil Rights and South African anti-apartheid movements to MN anti-ICE protests: The idea is that singing is "a way to confront violence with joy and beauty." www.cbs19news.com/news/charlot...

Big crowd, lots of voices at yesterday's Sing Out! on the DTM.

Despite increasing awareness of media-driven manipulation, we are as vulnerable as ever to being victimized by a system that does not have our interests at heart. We'll learn how media is weaponized and how we can fight back to protect ourselves and our communities.

THIS Saturday, February 28, Noon - 2:00 PM, at the Rivanna Area Queer Center (RAQC). Everyone welcome - both new and returning members! Come explore new ways to join your neighbors in antifascist, pro-democracy work.

National Sing-Out! Join the Singing Resistance! Everyone welcome!

THIS SATURDAY - Learn about redistricting from the Albemarle Dems. Northside Library, 10:30 - 11:30 AM. RSVP appreciated: tinyurl.com/22urf2ne

If you’ve been wondering what you can do when ICE shows up; if you want to be in community with other folks who are ready to stand up against this threat; if you’re angry/sad/frustrated at what is happening to our neighbors and our families; join us Wednesday 2/25!

Have you ever watched someone interviewed at a protest and thought, I wish I could say it like that? JOIN US this SUNDAY (Feb 22) to learn how to communicate clearly, effectively, and compellingly about your values, your commitment to community activism, and your vision for inclusive democracy!

WHO IS going to keep our neighbors safe from ICE? We are. We keep us safe. As the author notes, "ordinary people in Charlottesville, Albemarle, and throughout Virginia have been quietly preparing to defend their neighbors." Here's a few of the people and organizations featured:

We know it's only Wednesday, but... #CVille folks, we have your weekend all lined up for you...Sat. afternoon: Join a community panel and town hall to discuss what we want the future of Cville to look like, and how collective bargaining will help us get there! #UnionStrong #UVA

One week from today! Join us Wednesday, February 25 - & BRING A FRIEND. What are you going to do when ICE shows up? Learn more about non-violent legal actions we can take to protect our neighbors.

From yesterday's action. To Representative McGuire (and his supporters): It’s okay to change your mind / Show us your courage / Leave this behind, It’s okay to change your mind / And you can join us / Join us here anytime. #itsoktochangeyourmind #voicesrising

McGuire cannot hid the harm that he has caused: "this little whole in our healthcare system is just getting wider and wider" - McGuire has helped implement significant cuts to Medicaid and the ACA (in the coming years millions will lose their health coverage and see increasing healthcare costs)

Thank you to all community members that showed up today to stand in solidarity with the people of Minnesota and every community across the country defending each other from ICE. #AbolishICE #ICEoutofMinnesota #BoycottTarget

“People along the route came out of their homes and businesses to cheer on the students. One man, standing alone in a parking lot, spent over 20 minutes repeating, “Thank you,” and “We love you,” until all the student marchers had passed.”

Were you searching for that good deal #targetfind and found some long lines instead? Activists staged a Valentine’s Day “Shop-In” at the local #target to demand the company: stop aiding ICE, protect workers’ rights, and publicly oppose ICE surges and funding. #AbolishICE, #ICEoutofMinnesota

Have we mentioned that Target collaborates with ICE? Yesterday a small group staged a silent march through Target to protest Target’s ongoing support of the regime’s secrete police. #boycottTarget #AbolishICE #ICEout

The GOP is pursuing new voter suppression legislation modeled on the infamous SAVE Act. This series of bills would end registration by mail and add new ID requirements that could prevent millions of eligible voters from registering. Congress needs to hear from us: indivisible.org/actions/stop...

Organizers in Minnesota have transformed crisis into action and tragedy into solidarity. On Thursday, those organizers and MN leaders will share what they’ve learned so we can all be better prepared to organize and protect our neighbors from ICE and CBP deployments: www.crowdcast.io/c/reimagine/...

In solidarity with the people of Minnesota and every community across the country defending each other from ICE, we call on Target to refuse to cooperate with ICE. And until they do, we call for the ongoing BOYCOTT of Target. #BoycottTarget #ICEoutofMinnesota #AbolishICE #ICEOutForGood #ICEOutNow

There is no Indivisible Charlottesville (no protests, no actions, no canvassing, no Dine to Donate, no People’s Activist series) without VOLUNTEERS; & one of the most important things our volunteers do is serve as MARSHALS! Come out TODAY to learn more about this role and de-escalation!

Very helpful detailed analysis of the proposed new congressional map.

RVA folks, show up TOMORROW at 6:15 AM to urge @abigailspanberger.com and the General Assembly to pass all ICE Out bills HB1438 to fully end 287(g), no courthouse arrests, and ICE out of schools to fully protect our communities! Protect our communities.

Elections have consequences, good news for VA: This week @abigailspanberger.com ordered “four state agencies, including the state police and the Department of Corrections, to end their 287(g) agreements”!

Check out this 🧵 for a quick transportation advocacy opportunity!

This vote buys time, not solutions. The fight is now squarely on DHS and Republicans are on their back foot. Democrats have less than two weeks to press their advantage — they must hold the line and refuse to fund DHS without ironclad limits on ICE and CBP.

As state violence increases and the need to protect free and fair elections grows, we expect future protests to be larger, and potentially more frequent. That means we need more marshals! Even if you’re not 100% sure this is for you, join us on Feb 8 to learn more!

TIME SENSITIVE ACTION: Historically, organized labor has achieved gains that extend far beyond its own membership (ie limits on child labor, the 40-hour workweek). These gains depend on workers’ right to collective bargaining, a right that Virginia’s public sector employees currently do not have.

There is no fixing this. There is no training nor reform that will mitigate this. #AbolishICE. No funding for DHS. Call/email/contact @markwarner.bsky.social and @kaine.senate.gov (if you can get through bc Kaine seems to make it as difficult as possible). #ICEoutForGood.

Minnesota organizers want us to help turn up the heat on the state's biggest regime-friendly corporations. Contact Target, Hilton, Enterprise, Home Depot, and Delta Airlines to demand they take action to get ICE out of our communities FOR GOOD.

If you're new to resistance training, your local Indivisible is a good place to start. In Charlottesville, @indivisiblecville.bsky.social.

Seen in the wild around Cville. Signs of authoritarianism: capturing elite support, often visible via free-market corporate support and collaboration with the regime... #VitalSigns #BoycottHilton #BoycottTarget #StandwithMinneapolis #StandwithMN

The regime thought it could intimidate Americans into submission, but We the People are standing up for our rights and each other. Join the next ICE watch training and get the tools you need to exercise your rights as federal agents terrorize our communities: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Postponed from last week - state violence is escalating; we can meet this moment and stand in solidarity with targeted communities. We CAN prepare together for rapid mass mobilization and community care. Join us today (1/31) at 2 PM at the Haven!

Don Lemon appreciation post. Here @donlemonofficial.bsky.social in Charlottesville last April. He showed up unannounced at an @indivisiblecville.bsky.social event and encouraged others to show up too.

The Haven is truly a lynchpin of our community. Please support their vital work during this bitterly cold weather if you can. (How many of you remember 9 years ago this week gathering at the Haven for the very first Indivisible Charlottesville meeting?)
