When I was young in the 1970s, my family would drive around VA small towns looking for a "cute little cafe." We were always 100% unsuccessful. Wish they could see this charming cafe in Petersburg that we found today before a walk on the Appomattox River Trail - Market Street Coffee
The people of #Volkswagen in #ChattanoogaTN voted overwhelmingly to #unionize with the #UAW . #PetersburgMutualAid would like to wish a #heartfelt #congratulations to the #autoworkers and the #community at large.
May this begin a wave of #unionization and autonomous community organization in the south! Perhaps even #PetersburgVA will catch the wave! 🙏🏾
There was a #townhall in #PetersburgVirginia today over the development of a casino. Here are some #thoughts from #PetersburgMutualAid .
It was #standingroomonly at the @petersburgpublibrary as the city came together to hear about the 'glorious' promises of #casino developers wishing to build in #PetersburgVA . Who could resist such a magnanimous deal?
#PetersburgMutualAid can, and here's why:
The 50 Years of #HipHop event was #AMAZING #yesterday ! Here's hoping that next #Saturday Battle for the Burg #openmic can pull the same weight...
Co-Hosted by the tremendous trio -- #PetersburgMutualAid , the Virginia chapter of the #SierraClub , and the incredible Youth #PoetLaureate of #RichmondVA , Amina Adeyola -- we have no doubt that the show will be powerful!
