MoveOn.org, in partnership with other groups, has announced a public demonstration, scheduled for 5:30 pm on Tuesday.

From the event website:

Come join us Tuesday, March 15th in support of the Nationwide Defend the Dream event. WE MUST mobilize thousands of people again for this national day of action before the March 18 budget deadline. It is crucial the nationwide momentum keep building for this fight which was begun by the brave people in Madison, WI. It is time for all of The People to STAND UP FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE IN!!! Life, Liberty, and Freedom.

We cannot depend on the progressive fighters in Congress to do it all. They need to hear our voices and me must be Loud and Clear. It is time for “We The People” to STAND UP and FIGHT for the American Dream before it is destroyed by political extremists.

Please take an hour of your time to join us in Solidarity to save the middle class. Our future depends upon our voices being heard.

In the meantime, Occupy Monroe Park has launched a new website with their demands.

The Commonwealth Society, part of VCU’s Special Programs, offers opportunities to meet new people, explore new subjects, enjoy field trips and much more.

Coming up on their Spring 2011 schedule is “Sacred Spaces in Oregon Hill” (click any preceding text for website):

Wednesdays, April 27 to May 25
9 to 11 a.m.

Oregon Hill Historic District is a fine 19th- and early-20th-century working-class neighborhood with architecture and streetscapes that illustrate how industrial workers lived. Access to the James River and Kanawha Canal and the industries that were growing along these waterways furthered and expanded the growth of the population in the area. Through lectures and walking tours, we will look at the history of this Richmond neighborhood and examine such landmarks as Hollywood Cemetery, St. Andrews and Pine Street churches and the Virginia War Memorial.

Instructor: Edwin Slipek Jr., an architectural historian and architecture critic for Style Weekly, teaches at VCU and Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School for Government and International Studies.

I don’t know if if this class is full yet, but for more information, you can call (804) 828-3635 or e-mail psworley at vcu.edu.
