Trump and his billionaire profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom—on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself. This May Day we're demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes—public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, prosperity over free market politics.
Attend Indivisible Charlottesville's May 1 protest to demand that MAGA end its war on families; we need a future that works for working families!

Rep. John McGuire (VA-05) hasn't taken constituent questions in person since he was elected. But people have a lot of questions for him--about DOGE's firings of Federal workers, tariffs that raise prices, illegal deportations, and efforts to gut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
Indivisible Charlottesville has invited him to a 4/26 town hall that's whether he comes or not; come and bring your questions! Entry is free, donations are welcome to help cover costs.

VA Unemployment claims surge due to Trump/Musk (likely illegal) firings of federal workers!
"With the White House dealing severe cuts to the federal workforce, the number of unemployment claims in Virginia have jumped 40% week over week."
