Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church

1901 Thomson Rd, Charlottesville

Our Summer Activist’s Series continues Thursday June 12! 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!

Health & Safety at Protests

This session will cover practical strategies to stay physically safe and emotionally grounded during protests, including guidance on what to bring, how to respond to police tactics, and how to support others. We’ll also discuss collective care practices and ways to minimize risk for the most vulnerable in our communities.
