Their lives and legacies are a shining example of how we should all fight for equality. We send our deepest condolences to their family, friends, and all whose lives they touched.

We are incredibly sad to hear about the loss of two civil rights giants, John Lewis and C.T Vivian. Both of these men dedicated their lives to serving their communities and improving the human condition for all people.

UVA BLSA is proud to present the first part of a three-part Summer Speaker Series, interviewing legal scholars and professors. Please RSVP for the Summer Speaker Series at forms.gle/xJAtUEjRmESrgN…! This event will be hosted virtually, with more information coming soon.

For the next two weeks we will be collecting donations for the CAROF via Venmo: @ UVA-BLSA-2020. We appreciate any and all donations to such an important cause! You can find out more information about the CAROF here: congregatecville.com/#

For the UVA BLSA this support must start within our shared community in Charlottesville. The Lines to Liberation Fundraiser was created to benefit the Cville Anti-Racist Organization Fund - a fund set to help Black and Brown organizers and protest artists within the Cville area.

“We’re going to fight racism not with racism, but we’re going to fight with solidarity...” -Fred Hampton. In times like these, it is crucial that we all support each other in the fight for liberation and a better world.
