Join us for Voices Rising, a community gathering to learn and share songs of strength and courage, hope and resistance!

Throughout history, song has been a vital force in social movements around the world and here in the U.S. From freedom songs in South Africa’s Anti-Apartheid Movement, to the Singing Revolution in Estonia, to the labor and Civil Rights movements in this country, music and song have helped sustain collective struggle.

No singing experience is necessary. All are welcome.

Come raise your voice, build community, and prepare for the work ahead.

When fascists cross a line, how do we respond? This session will introduce the 5-R strategy for making political violence and repression backfire, from Harnessing Our Power to End Political Violence (endpoliticalviolence.org). We’ll apply these strategies to examples of fascist violence we have faced or could face here in Central Virginia.

The stakes this November are clear. In addition to everything that is at stake nationally, in addition to electing congressional representatives, this fall Virginians will vote on three major constitutional amendments that could shape the future of rights and democracy in the Commonwealth. This meeting will focus on what we can do locally to prepare for the November election and how we can work together to build stronger, more engaged communities.

We’ll have some snacks to tide you over; and we’ll be providing childcare onsite.

This will be a working meeting; we’re going to build teams, make plans, and get to work. Mark your calendar, invite a friend (or two or three) and join us.

You – yes, you – are an antifascist community organizer. You are helping to build a beautiful, powerful, multifaceted movement against fascism. Some folks have asked for an “Organizing 101” so let’s start this summer with the basics. Join an organization. Find your role on a team. Maybe form a new team! Talk with your friends and neighbors and get them involved. In fact, bring your friends and neighbors to this session, and get involved together.

This welcome and orientation for new (and returning) members, is designed to provide you with some basic information about the Indivisible Charlottesville organization, connect with each other, and explore ways to get involved.

NO Work

NO School

NO Shopping

YES to Protesting!

We’ll gather at the Free Speech Wall at NOON. Then we’ll march to Booker T. Washington Park for an afternoon MAY DAY SOLIDARITY CELEBRATION (Music & Food, Kid’s Activities, Community).

This is a national campaign—we are joining communities across the country in building our capacity to be STRIKE READY in case a general strike is needed.

Co-sponsored by Charlottesville DSA.

Strike Safe: Tactical Decisions Under Pressure in a General Strike Against Fascism

This session is where we make space for all the what-ifs. What if something happens we don't want. What if something happens we do want? How do we make decisions in the moment that support our campaign strategy and respond to in-the-moment changes to dangers and opportunities. We keep us safe! We take care of us! Let's practice care and coordination as we keep growing our people power, come what may.

With a pizza dinner.

This welcome and orientation for new (and returning) members, is designed to provide you with some basic information about the Indivisible Charlottesville organization, connect with each other, and explore ways to get involved. We'll give a brief overview of who we are and why we organize, and provide you with opportunities to meet team members and learn about different ways to plug into our antifascist, pro-democracy work. All are welcome—come as you are and bring a dish or snack to share if you’re able.

If you are joining us, please park on the street rather than in nearby lots, and ensure that driveways remain unobstructed. If you are able, we encourage you to park farther away to help reserve closer spaces for those with mobility considerations.

Our community was promised a more inclusive process, and we are calling on the Board to uphold that commitment. The Board has conceded to holding a working session on this issue on April 16. We encourage Charlottesville community members to take action by joining us at the Rethink Revote Rally at 4 PM on Thursday, April 16, 2026 at the entrance to Charlottesville High School. You don’t have to register to attend the rally, but we would love to get an idea of how many people may show up in support!  Register here.

Note: This starts at 4:30 PM! Please consider joining the People’s Activist Series session on General Strikes, and then come on over to Firefly!

Curious about Indivisible? Already Involved? Join us to connect with fellow organizers, volunteers, supporters, and Indivisible newcomers at a our first social of 2026! Organizers will be on hand, and new folks are warmly welcome.

Strike Smart: Action Logic for Escalating Toward a General Strike Against Fascism

May day is one action in a broader campaign: one day of no work, no school, no shopping - yes protest! Action logic is how we make sure everything we do as part of this one action serves our campaign. Through action logic, we take time together to set our goals, grow our coalition, coordinate our messages, and make clear plans for how the actions we take have the impact we want. We'll use May Day as an example to practice applying action logic together.

Childcare provided on-site.

We have the power and are claiming it together. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.

On March 28th, rise up, take to the streets, and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings. We’re not watching history happen—we’re making it. Join us.

We will be spreading out on both sides of 29, from Hydraulic Road north to Greenbrier Drive. Bring signs!

May Day is a 1-day general strike with no work, no school, no shopping - yes protest! How does this one-day action help us build towards a larger, longer general strike that has the power to defend democracy? Campaign strategy! By joining communities nationwide in a campaign for Strike Readiness, we can grow the people power for a general strike to defend democracy, protect free and fair elections, and stop a certain authoritarian from stealing a third term.

Join us to visualize and strategize!

With a potluck dinner.

Join fellow community members at the Scrappy Elephant during their open studio hours for No Kings sign making! Crafters will also have the opportunity to participate in a resistance art project that will be displayed in the store windows.

Indivisible Charlottesville volunteers will be on-site from 10 AM to noon!

Join us at Booker T. Washington Park for kid friendly No Kings sign-making session! We’ll have supplies for sign-making and SNACKS!

This spring at the People’s Activist Series we are getting ready to go on strike. A general strike is a day of no work, no school, and no shopping for all of us. Learn how we can use general strikes to fight fascism, and how we can get our community ready to go on strike when the time is right. Practice how to talk with friends, neighbors, and coworkers about it. And, plug into local organizing so we can act on what we’re learning together!

Join us for our first All Hands Meeting of the year! We’ll come together as a community of organizers, volunteers, and supporters to strategize for the year ahead (2026 midterms, here we come!) and to welcome folks who are new or just curious about Indivisible.

Come to ask questions, help shape our work, and find your place in the collective effort to fight authoritarianism, strengthen our democracy, keep our community safe, and prepare for the moments that matter.

The media ecosystem, which includes conventional, alternative, and social media, is no longer an observer in geopolitics, but an active participant in what has become a full-contact sport. Everyone is both a target and a participant. Despite increasing awareness of media-driven manipulation, we are as vulnerable as ever to being victimized by a system that does not have our interests at heart. This workshop will discuss how information and media is weaponized and how antifascists can invert this process to protect ourselves and our communities and begin to fight back.

Join Singing Resistance Charlottesville for this Sing-Out, raising our voices in solidarity with singers across the nation against authoritarianism.

All are welcome; we’ll learn songs together!
