How do you know what you’re willing to risk for an act of nonviolent civil disobedience or direct action?

We will discuss the strategy and purpose behind taking risks. We will create space to understand the personal fears and needs that may arise. As we take risks collectively, we want to feel strong, centered, and supported. Together, we’ll explore tools to reflect on our boundaries, prepare for what we fear, and stand with one another when facing down fascism.

Let’s get ready to go big.

Hosted by Indivisible Charlottesville, Congregate Charlottesville, and Charlottesville DSA, the People’s Activist Series is an opportunity to learn more about using people power to fight fascism. Learn more about the series HERE.

In Summer 2026, the People’s Activist Series will be weekly at Visible Records, starting with a potluck dinner before the workshop. Every Monday, 6:00-8:00pm, from June 1 to August 17.
