This is so terribly awful. If, like us, you want to find ways to respond with humanity to the horrors unfolding around us, and figure out how we can care for and protect our communities, join us at the People’s Activist Series this week. Link follows.

Look at the shifts in VA. How do we continue to build on this? How do we safeguard our elections and our electoral systems? Locally, we are going to continue to organize. 1/

Thank you VA Voters! Onward!

Yesterday, we achieved a sweeping set of victories in Virginia. These wins were powered by thousands of grassroots volunteers (YES, including many of you!). People power works. 1/4

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

Hey y’all remember @indivisiblecville.bsky.social’s “3 for 3” campaign? Where we chose 3 HoD candidates and asked people to volunteer for the campaigns, with postcards, phone banking, and donations? www.indivisiblecharlottesville.org/2025election Well… 😇😉

AMAZING. Great night in the commonwealth, powered by THE PEOPLE.

Good morning Virginia! Good morning 5th district folks! Polls are open. You know what to do. It’s a great day to vote!

Hey There! Did you realize the HOLIDAYS 🎄🎄🎅🎅🕎🕎 were coming up? Did you know that our tees & hoodies make great gifts for friends & fam near & far? Did you remember that every purchase supports our work? shop.worxprinting.coop/collections/...

Yesterday was all about people power. If you missed the parade, or crowds are just not your thing, and need a little inspiration, might we recommend "The People Will Rise"? 🧵1/3

Some footage from yesterday's parade!

The gaslighting continues, but we are not crazy, and we are not alone.

File under: The election in VA is so very important.

This is a lovely and important tribute, and a timely reminder of how essential educational justice is to building a a thriving, multiracial democratic society. This is a generational struggle. Change is possible, the work continues, and we owe it to each other to carry it forward.

Wondering what's next after #NoKings? Looking for an opportunity celebrate democracy, care for your neighbors, connect with local non-profits, and maybe get your face painted?

On #NoKings & protest as a tactic: "...a large-scale mass public protest that is taking place everywhere in the country is an important part of holding open civic space and demonstrating that defiance continues and lives on.…

Can't stop, won't stop. The People's Activist Series must go on. This THURSDAY (October 23): Non-Cooperation Strategies in Action! Defending Free Elections. Details below and at www.indivisiblecharlottesville.org/events/20251...

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

“When you come together collectively, it’s so empowering, it’s exhilarating, and it lets people know they’re not alone.” #NoKings
