Charlottesville, Va. – On Saturday, August 30, the Albemarle/Charlottesville, Richmond, and Waynesboro Chapters of Virginia Organizing will be protesting to raise awareness about ICE activity against our immigrant communities. The action will take place in response to a 350 percent increase in immigration arrests and detainments across Virginia reported in July.

Virginia Organizing stands in solidarity with immigrant populations across Virginia who are strong pillars across the Commonwealth, from childcare providers and educators to medical professionals, first responders, military members, and state government. Virginia is for immigrants and our communities thrive when we work together for justice and equality.

At the protest, Virginia Organizing will also share resources for other ways that community members can get involved in providing support for immigrant community members.
