Labor Day, Labor Month: Workers Over Billionaires

Labor Day, Labor Month: Workers Over Billionaires

Albemarle County Office Building

401 McIntire Rd, Charlottesville, VA

American union members fought—and often sacrificed much—for the rights we all enjoy today: weekends, fair pay, sick leave, lunch breaks, overtime pay, pensions, workman’s comp, and safe working conditions. These didn’t just happen; they were won through hard-fought battles by organized labor.

But today Trump and his billionaire friends are pilfering money from critical services that workers and working families rely on—like SNAP food support and healthcare—and redirecting it to the pockets of billionaires and the funding of Trump's private army of ICE agents.

On Labor Day, Monday September 1st, Charlottesville and thousands of communities across the country will be standing together, in solidarity with local workers and working families, to continue organizing to stop this attempted Trump Administration takeover!

On September 1st we’ll also be kicking off “Labor Month”—a full month of action lifting up local unions and the workers who keep our communities running every day. During Labor Month come out to help us amplify unions’ campaigns, initiatives, and calls to action, and invite the community to make our solidarity visible, loud and strong. Come out to honor the workers who built this country and the unions that fight every day for fair wages and safe workplaces. For unions, every day is Labor Day!

De-escalation Skills for Community Defense: Conflicts Among Organizers

Conflicts among social justice community organizers are often used by the state to divide and weaken our movements. We don’t have to agree with each other on everything, but we do need skills for moving through conflicts in ways that strengthen our relationships, clarify our goals and boundaries, and support each other’s continued involvement in taking action against fascism. We will discuss common patterns of conflicts among social justice organizers, the emotional ups and downs of conflict, and some tools to keep each other safe and keep our movements growing.

Rage Against the Regime

The Shops at Stonefield

2100 Hydraulic Road

WE THE PEOPLE ARE ANGRY. This isn’t just a moment—it’s a movement. A strategy. We’re not asking for permission—we’re demanding change.”

As many in the local community will be directly impacted by the devastating cuts in Trump’s morally obscene bill—cuts that strip vital services like healthcare and nutrition from the poor and working class just to benefit those who already have everything—protests alone are not enough. We’re committed to taking action that uplifts the people hit hardest by this fascist regime. Donations will be collected for one of the community’s most essential programs: the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank.

There will be a table set up to support The Majority Project by Signs of Justice—a powerful, coordinated campaign to flood Congress with 12 million postcards, showing that the true majority of Americans stand for justice and equity, and not the extremist agenda the far right is pushing which doesn’t reflect the will of the people.

Our rage is not reckless. It’s righteous. It’s peaceful, but it is not passive. We do not break, nor do we break others. We build a power the regime cannot contain. We refuse to let our anger burn us out, it only lights the way forward.”

Attendees are encouraged to:

  • Bring a non-perishable item to donate to the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank (BRAFB) to support local families in need.

  • Write a postcard to your representative, reminding they have been elected to represent their constituents and will be held accountable for their actions

  • Carpool or take Charlottesville Area Transit (CAT), which offers free rides, to reduce traffic and support sustainability.

  • Patronize and support the shops at Stonefield.

Good Trouble Lives On: John Lewis Day of Action

Booker T. Washington Park

1001 Preston Ave., Charlottesville VA 22903

Featuring:

  • Personal reflections,

  • Singing,

  • Signs

Our rights are under attack. Our democracy is under siege. We’ve been here before, and we know what to do.

On July 17, we honor the anniversary of the passing of civil rights hero John Lewis, not with ceremonies, but with action. Across the country, we will take to the streets, courthouses, and community spaces to carry forward his fight for justice, voting rights, and dignity for all.

This is more than a protest, it’s a moral reckoning. A continuation of the movement Lewis helped lead, and a new front in the struggle for freedom.

Please note: a core principle behind all of Indivisible Charlottesville’s actions is a commitment to nonviolence in all we do. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

(Intersection of Hydraulic and 29)

They’ve defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services. The corruption has Gone. Too. Far.

No thrones. No crowns. No kings.

  • He’s using OUR tax dollars to pay for HIS party.

    • Donald Trump’s birthday celebration is expected to cost millions of our tax dollars, all while Republicans claim there’s no money for Social Security, SNAP, or Medicaid.

  • We are united against kings.

    • Trump has already indicated that he’s aiming for at least a third term, and now he’s planning a self-aggrandizing military parade in D.C But the American people don’t put up with kings. Together, we will mobilize in huge numbers to reject this corruption and abuse of power—it’s in our DNA as a country.

  • They’ve gone too far.

    • This is bigger than political disagreement. They’ve defied our courts, deported American citizens, disappeared people off the streets, and slashed our services—all while orchestrating a massive giveaway to their billionaire allies. Enough is enough. For anyone who thinks he’s gone too far, this movement is for you.

  • The Army’s birthday isn’t about parades or pageantry — it marks the beginning of America’s rejection of kings.

    • On June 14, 1775, the Continental Congress created the U.S. Army to stand up against a monarch who claimed absolute power. 250 years later, Donald Trump wants to twist that legacy into a personal celebration of himself.

  • That’s why we say: No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.

    • No Kings is about defending the ideals they fought for. This country doesn’t belong to strongmen. It belongs to the people.

Pressuring Politicians in the Park

Pen Park, 1300 Pen Park Road, Charlottesville

Hello Defenders of Democracy!

  • Are you tired of making phone calls to your representatives alone in your home? Would you rather make them with others, outside, and celebrate the work you are doing together?

  • Do you find it hard to make time to call during office hours because you're caring for children?

  • Do you want to call your representatives but you don't know where to start or what to say?

  • Have you been wondering about getting more involved with Indivisible Charlottesville, but haven't been able to attend any meetings yet?

If you answered yes to any of the above, and you're available Thursday, May 22 at 11am, then this event is for you!

This will be a child-friendly gathering at the Pen Park picnic shelters (coming from Rio, turn left just before the tennis courts). We will gather and make calls, while our children play nearby (we'll have sand toys, sidewalk chalk, and bubbles; there are also some pretty great puddles if it's rained recently -- rain boots highly recommended).

Please bring:

  • a cell phone (tho we'll have one to lend if needed)

  • whatever your kid needs (if you're bringing a kid 🙂)

There is usually plenty of parking. Look for us at picnic shelter 3 (though on the off-chance it's taken we’ll be in one of the others).

Albemarle County Office Building

Across the country—from fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta—working people are rising up. We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes—public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, housing over homelessness.

Musk, Trump and their fellow profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom—on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself. They want to erase labor rights, break our unions, and silence immigrant voices.

May Day 2025 we are standing united. We're organizing for a world where every family has housing, healthcare, fair wages, union protection, and safety—regardless of race, zip code, or immigration status.

They’re defunding our schools, privatizing public services, attacking unions, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence. This is a war on working people—and we will not stand down. Using the principles of nonviolence and peaceful protest, we will stand together and stand strong.

This May Day, we will turn the page. This is the beginning of a new era—one where working families lead, immigrants are protected, and no one is left behind. This is not charity. This is not a request. We are reclaiming our power from corporate elites, and we will not be intimidated by Trump, Musk, or their billionaire backers. They’ve ruled for too long. Their time is up.

STOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER. WE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW. THIS IS MAY DAY. JOIN US.

Town Hall with (or without) John McGuire

Saturday, April 26th, 3-4:30pm

Martin Luther King, Jr. Performing Arts Center at Charlottesville High School

Representative John McGuire (VA-05) hasn't held a town hall or taken constituent questions in person since he was elected. But people have a lot of questions for him--about DOGE's firings of hardworking Federal workers, about the tariffs that will raise prices for all of us, about illegal deportations, and about his and Elon Musk's efforts to gut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

So we invited him to attend a town hall in Charlottesville on April 26, and we're going to hold it whether he comes or not. Join us, and bring your questions for McGuire and the Republicans who are running Washington for their billionaire buddies.
