Justice For All Vigil for ICE victims (rescheduled)
The murders of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastian Guerrero have become a national call to conscience. On Tuesday, July 7, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Houston, Texas. He was a dad driving a work van with his crew when he was gunned down.
Then on Monday, July 13, ICE unleashed the same horrific tactics, fatally shooting 26-year-old Johan Sebastian Guerrero when they stopped his vehicle in Biddeford, Maine. His wife and toddler were forced to witness his murder.
Lorenzo and Johan were beloved members of their communities who were killed on their way to work– one to a job site, the other to start his day as a food delivery driver. Both killed by ICE agents spreading fear, sowing chaos and inflicting violence.
Communities across the country are being called to hold vigils to mourn Lorenzo and Johan, stand with his family and coworkers, tell the truth about what happened, and demand accountability. Vigils of every size can help ensure that Lorenzo’s and Johan’s killings do not fade from public attention and can send a clear moral message: no government agency should be allowed to kill, intimidate witnesses, or operate without independent oversight.
LYNCHBURG and CENTRAL VA: Join us at Monument Terrace this Sunday, August 2nd at 7 PM to honor Johan Sebastian Guerrero, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Keith Porter, Jr., Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and every other life that was extinguished through violent ICE-related activities.
Participants are encouraged to bring:
A bell for the ringing of bells in memory of victims
An item for the memorial table, such as flowers, candles, written prayers, messages, photos, or other meaningful tributes.
Signs (no poles or sticks per state law)
A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
Registration is not required but required but is encouraged. Sign up here: https://mobilize.us/s/uHMs8V

Good Trouble Lives On!
Across America, let’s make good trouble.
We are facing the most brazen rollback of civil rights in generations! The same spirit that fueled Selma, Montgomery, and the March on Washington lives on in our unified action.
About this event
Join us in Lynchburg for our second annual Good Trouble Lives On March and community picnic. Desmond Mosby will be our keynote speaker and lead us on a march to honor the legacy of John Lewis. The fight to protect voting rights never ends, and right now, we’re witnessing a Jim-Crow-era effort from politicians and their billionaire friends to restrict our freedoms, silence our voices, and consolidate power. But in America, we choose our leaders. We will decide our future.
Six years after the passing of Congressman John Lewis, we're organizing an event in our community to carry the torch, continue his legacy, and pass it forward to future generations.
A core principle behind all Good Trouble Lives On events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
Join us on July 18th as we:
• TEACH our community members about the critical fight for our freedom to vote,
• REACH out to our neighbors to bring them into this movement, and
• PREACH to our loved ones about the moral necessity to carry the torch of the civil rights movement.
Registration is now OPEN. Registration encouraged, but not required.

Visibility Brigade
June 24 marks four years since the Supreme Court took Roe, ripping away nearly fifty years of our right to control our own bodies. We know exactly who did it, and we have made them fight for every inch since.
Now, Trump and his goons are coming for abortion pills and pushing laws that would treat women who end a pregnancy like criminals.

Bedford, Va D-Day Visibility Brigade (Copy)
On Saturday, June 6th, D-Day, Democracy Day is coming and we want you to join us in Bedford to honor those who fought fascism on the beaches of Normandy by bringing that same spirit of resistance peacefully home. Exact location will be sent before the event! Our action will be connected to a thousand other Visibility Brigades on D-Day, with one mission: to help save our country. HONOR THE BEDFORD BOYS BY STANDING UP TO FASCISM! Our Messaging: Pro-democracy. Anti-fascist. Rooted in history, urgent in the present. We honor those who gave everything in WWII, lift up FDR's Four Freedoms, and draw a clear line between the sacrifices made on those beaches and the moment we are living through right now. We will supply a large message for passing cars to see that you can stand over and wave. You are welcome to bring your own smallers signs, play music, wear inflatables, costumes and bring gift cards to donate to a local veterans aid group. If you are a veteran, we would be especially honored if you could join us! Democracy Day is built on joy, creativity, and community. To learn more about the Visibility Brigade movement, please visit www.VisibilityBrigade.com! Once you sign up, we will share more information as we get closer to this event!
