It’s a powerful reminder that in a true democracy, the people hold the power. We rise together—driven by a shared frustration with corruption, cruelty, and the gradual loss of our freedoms. This movement is rooted in solidarity, courage, and hope. We will not be silenced. We show up for one another, and together, we rise. Rise Against the Regime is Co-sponsored by 50501, Indivisible Nevada County, & the Nevada County Democrats. Meet at the intersection of Brunswick and Sutton on the Safeway side in front of the old Three Kings restaurant. Bring your signs and make your voice heard! If you do not have a sign, there will be some available at the Bank of America building. (Peace and Justice Center is non-partisan and not affiliated with and not endorsing any political party) Don’t want to demonstrate? Here’s a local campaign you can join from home to resist. Reclaim Our Vote is a 501c3 non-profit. On July 27 UUCM we will launch the next Reclaim Our Vote (ROV) postcard campaign to over 940,00 registered black voters in Virginia, a bellwether state for the 2026 midterms. To understand the impact of ROV postcarding, the historic comparison shows that “likely African-American” voters’ turnout in the 2024 primary was 16,992; in 2025 (after our ROV campaign) it was 44,374…more than double! Virginia has seen thousands of its citizens lose their jobs due to DOGE, and a 350% increase in immigrant arrests, more than any other state. You can read more about those stories in this article and in this one. Center for Common Ground/Reclaim Our Vote is one of the few national campaigns that works to turn out a group of voters that the opposition works overtime to suppress, because their vote makes a difference. To do this, CFCG purchases the data used to identify targeted voters. Many of you have already ordered postcard packets of the Virginia General Election. (Each packet has 20 addresses, stamps, cards, etc.) If you want to participate let me know ASAP! We now spend $12 on each packet BUT the cost of stamps go up this Saturday (from $.56 to $.62.) increasing the cost of our packets to $13 each. Packets ordered through tomorrow (7/10/25) will cost $12 each. Packets purchased after 7/10/25 will cost $13 each. NOTE: because we don’t want the cost to keep anyone from joining the postcard campaign we have scholarships available for those who need $ help. To order yours send an email to me at GOTV@uugrassvalley.org and tell me how many packets you want and if you can reimburse us for the cost. They will be available at UUCM starting July 27 NOTE: We will have 3 months to write.
