People’s Activist Series!
Hosted by Indivisible Charlottesville, Congregate Charlottesville, and Charlottesville DSA
Join our People’s Activist Series!
Learn more about using people power to fight fascism. We will explore how to use symbolic actions and strategic noncooperation while organizing to keep our community safe. Join as many sessions as you can—let’s build power!
We will start each workshop promptly – please arrive a bit early if you want to get settled and make a plate. Bring food for the potluck if you’re able! Everyone is invited to eat when you want, and to stay to enjoy each other’s company after the workshop. We join a long legacy of Southern communities eating and learning together as we grow movements for collective liberation.
We hope folks who join these sessions will learn to:
Understand yourself as part of long-standing global freedom struggles
Decide how you will engage in activism and find roles that excite you
Welcome new folks to join our activist communities
Protect yourself and each other at protests and other activist events
Work together to make plans and take action against fascism
