Indivisible Charlottesville

Blue & white "Indivisible Charlottesville" logo with light blue outline of the state of VA, red star where Charlottesville is, and "ALL HANDS MEETING, MAR 7"

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.

We urge others who want an end to this needless killing to call your Senators and Representative and demand that they vote for an Iran War Powers Resolution to block further illegal acts of war and stop the attacks on Iran immediately: (202) 224-3121.

An image of the following statement: Statement Against the US Attacks on Iran 2 March 2026 Indivisible Charlottesville condemns the US attacks on Iran and the Iranian people. We call for a cessation of military operations by the US and its allies. We call on our elected representatives to do their constitutional duty to block these unlawful actions that are killing Iranians and Americans, harming our national security and economy, and destabilizing the region and the world. We stand with those who have been bravely protesting the authoritarian regime in Iran, and we reject the idea that military strikes will bring the freedom and self-determination the Iranian people are demanding. A war with Iran is immoral and illegal, and disastrous for the Iranian people and for all of us. The Trump administration unilaterally launched military strikes against Iran without approval from the US Congress or evidence of an imminent threat. Since the war started, hundreds of people have been killed, including multiple US military personnel and Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. A bomb was dropped on an elementary school in Minab, a city in southern Iran, killing dozens of children and injuring dozens more. We stand in solidarity with the people of Iran and our Iranian neighbors. We resist Islamophobia and xenophobia, which have long been part of the fascist playbook. With retaliatory strikes under way, the escalation into a regional war looms large. US Military leaders have warned of a prolonged campaign incurring significant costs to US forces and munitions. The US government should be spending taxpayer money on housing, jobs, and healthcare rather than sending Americans to kill and be killed. We cannot tolerate having our nation's domestic and foreign policy decisions being made in this authoritarian, undemocratic, harmful way. Earlier this year, our elected officials failed to oppose the current US regime's invasion of Venezuela and the kidnapping of its president.…

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.

“‘..,fascism is coming for all of us,’ says David Singerman, co-organizer of Indivisible Charlottesville. ‘If people feel more comfortable or more safe doing one kind of action versus another, they’ve found ways to do that. There’s a place in this fight for everyone, and everyone can contribute.’”

Mary Bauer (ACLU of Virginia), "says her organization has done 'many dozens' of 'Know Your Rights' trainings for people across Virginia.
'If you’re stopped by ICE, you do not have to answer questions about your immigration status, where you were born, or how you entered the country',,,"

"Central Virginia Community Support Fund’s Higgins and Michelson urge people to contribute to their organization. "Every donation we get can be recycled,” Michelson says, “because our money comes back. So when you give us $1, we give it to the bond of a person in need who’s been detained.”

Rep. McGuire holds campaign event in Albemarle County amid redistricting uncertainty McGuire is running for reelection in Virginia's 5th district, which would see significant changes under state Democrats' redistricting push.

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)

Albemarle County students walk-out to protest ICE - Cville Right Now Close to 300 students walked out of Albemarle County High School Friday morning in a protest against ICE actions across the nation. The students left from school property just before 11 a.m., carrying...

“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

A person holding a sign that says target please stop supporting ice. They appear to be inside of a target store.

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

(next to an image of a ballot box behind bars) THE ANTI-VOTER "SAVE ACT" WOULD MAKE IT HARDER FOR MILLIONS OF ELIGIBLE VOTERS TO CAST A BALLOT

(next to images of a passport and a birth certificate) TO CAST A BALLOT, THE "SAVE" ACT WOULD REQUIRE RESTRICTIVE VOTER ID REQUIREMENTS, LIKE A PASSPORT OR BIRTH CERTIFICATE IN ORDER TO REGISTER TO VOTE.

(next to an image of a map of the US) MORE THAN HALF OF AMERICAN CITIZENS — 150 MILLION CITIZENS-DO NOT HAVE A PASSPORT. MILLIONS DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR BIRTH CERTIFICATES.

(next to an image of voters waiting in line near a “VOTE HERE” sign) ALL THE "SAVE" ACT WILL DO IS MAKE IT HARDER FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS TO CAST THEIR BALLOT.

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...
