TOMORROW we are kicking off the re-booted People’s Activist Series. No matter how long you've been involved, and no matter your level of involvement with Indivisible Charlottesville, we hope that you will be there. More information on the series here: www.indivisiblecharlottesville.org/2025-2026...

In the top half of the image there is a white megaphone with the phrase "People's Activist Series!" coming out of it on a red background. In the middle is a pink banner that reads "Let's Get Oriented: Non-Cooperation to Resist Authoritarianism. 6:-7:30pm Thursday October 9. Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 717 Rugby Road. In the bottom of the image it says "What's the plan? How do we topple an authoritarian regime? Find a role and get connected. We need everyone. This "orientation" session has the same info each month. A great place to start!"

One of the Dems who voted with Rs to support Trump's attack on DC was a VIRGINIAN: @gene4va.bsky.social.

To our fellow grassroots groups, as well as unions, justice organizations, and voters: let him know this is a shameful betrayal and not the representation you want.
