#Cville - WE NEED YOUR HELP!
#COVID19 has put countless community members out of work + in financial danger. We need to let them know #WeGotYourBack
We've gotten tons of funding requests and we need YOU!
Show UP for marginalized people through #donations + #volunteering today!

[SURJ Charlottesville @SURJ_Cville]

Hey #Charlottesville family-
Mutual aid IS racial justice! When the govt. won't protect marginalized folks- people of color, undocumented folks, workers- WE need to step up and help each other!
DONATE and share this graphic so we can help #KeepUsSafe during this #COVID19 crisis

Will the City of Richmond address the unacceptable conditions incarcerated people communicated to folks on the outside?

[Richmond IWW @RichmondIWW]

Message from prisoners at Richmond City Jail:

- Food is bad uncooked old food. From day before and small portions.

- Infections: MRSA (staph).

- No pay for work.

- Don’t get let out in quads.

- Showers not clean (lost toe from infection); worms, maggots.

5/5 We demand that @DailyProgress immediately apologize for such use of mugshots, retract Mr. Fogel's photograph from future print and electronic editions of this article, and cease the negligent and harmful use of mugshots in all future articles.

[NLG Central VA @nlgcentralva]

4/ The publishing of mugshots not only communicates the newspaper's political and racial bias, but such publishing has led to harassment and threats against those individuals and their families.

[NLG Central VA @nlgcentralva]

3/ This is not the first time @DailyProgress and staff writer, @laurenbergk, has used a mugshot in an intentionally manipulative manner. This local newspaper has a history of publishing mugshots of local men and women of color in an attempt to embarrass them.

[NLG Central VA @nlgcentralva]

2/ Today's @DailyProgress features a front-page article that intentionally uses an unrelated mugshot of local civil rights attorney and NLG chapter co-founder, Jeff Fogel, taken last year after Mr. Fogel was charged with tapping a local white nationalist on the shoulder.

[NLG Central VA @nlgcentralva]

1/ The Central Virginia Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild condemns the irresponsible and manipulative use of mugshots by @DailyProgress and @laurenbergk.

[Pam Starsia @PamStarsia]

.@DailyProgress @laurenbergk, this is trash. It’s trash under any circumstances to reduce folks to a mugshot, but esp here where Fogel was acquitted on the bogus crim charge, the charge has *nothing* to do with the story, & we all know you have plenty of file photos of Fogel. https://t.co/fxtdNMvEFO

[@jalaneschmidt.bsky.social📚👩🏾‍🏫🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🍉 @Jalane_Schmidt]

Really @DailyProgress, @laurenbergk?? Daily (lack of) Progress uses #Charlottesville civil rights attorney Jeff Fogel's mug shot in story about his lawsuit vs. @CvilleCityHall for its $350K contract w Tim Heaphy, #SummerOfHate investigator & mayor's political donor.

[NLG Central VA @nlgcentralva]

C'ville cops have made it clear, in the arrests of 3 black men who were brutalized by white nationalists, that they intend to continue to distill fear and uncertainty within our communities of color and among those who show up to defend our communities.
