On September 2, UCWVA-UVA held a Die-In protest against in-person classes and austerity on the Lawn and steps of the rotunda at the University of Virginia, sending a message to university administration that UVA workers and students are united against UVA’s reopening plans. The protest was co-organized with UVA YDSA and Charlottesville DSA, and received strong press and social media coverage:
