Come and learn about the newest federal holiday … one that has been celebrated by Black Americans for many years. We will give you actions to spread the word.
This event is being hosted by Virtual Virginia District 6 (VVD6) Indivisible. We are part of the national Indivisible movement. Our mission is to build better relationships between groups working to elect progressive leaders and build healthier communities. Our current areas of focus are voting rights and immigration/criminal justice reforms.
Our group agrees with these five principles:
1. Remake our democracy. We recognize our democracy was rigged from the start in favor of the white and wealthy. We actively work to realize a shared vision of a real democracy — of, by, and for the people.
2. Embrace progressive values. We model inclusion, respect, and fairness in all of our actions.
3. Coordinate and collaborate. We partner with other Indivisible groups on advocacy, elections, and national Indivisible campaigns.
4. Build a strong and strategic movement. We focus our efforts to maximize our impact, winning progressive policy victories and taking power at the local, state, and federal level.
5. Nonviolent actions and events. All events and actions will be nonviolent.
