Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church

1901 Thomson Rd, Charlottesville

The first session of our Summer Activist’s Series is Thursday May 22! Come join us to learn more about the how and why of our fight against fascism.

• How do we organize a protest, and plan a campaign, to create tangible changes in our lives here and now?

• How do we practice daily actions to protect each other from the grips of an authoritarian state?

• How do we connect across communities and issues?

• What have we learned from resistance movements in the U.S. and elsewhere?

• What have we learned from each other here in Charlottesville? Join as many sessions as you can – let’s build power!

Setting the Stage for Summer Organizing

In this first session, we’ll explore why security culture matters, get hands-on with digital safety tools like Signal, and walk through the summer’s vision — from understanding state repression and building multiracial solidarity to practicing community care and winning local power. You’ll meet others who share your interest in justice and leave with practical tools to protect yourself and your comrades.
