A Call to Action to the Charlottesville Resistance of August 2018

Various factions of white supremacists banded to terrorize the city of Charlottesville, VA the weekend of August 11-12, 2017, under the banner of ‘Unite the Right’. This has left us scarred, literally. It has sent shockwaves across the world to parts that we never knew our story would have resonated. We are still here fighting, mainly on two fronts: fighting a renewed effort from Kessler to have an anniversary rally on August 12th, 2018, and fighting the government’s and non-profits’ attempts to repress our movement while co-opting our message.

Local organizers are hard at work laying the groundwork for logistics, fun, resistance, and a diversity of actions and voices for August 11-12, 2018. This resistance belongs to every oppressed person of Charlottesville and we seek to keep it open to that.

We will see you in celebration and in mourning. We will see you in resistance this August.
