Good morning, Charlottesville.

Several local nonprofits in Charlottesville are starting new efforts this week— the American Red Cross will host a broadcasters event, a recent demonstration challenged ICE tactics, Indivisible Charlottesville is holding its 'No Kings Day' rally at Stonefield today to protest a planned parade in Washington D.C., the SPCA held its Summer Solstice Digital Auction on Friday at 10 a.m., the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank is giving free summer meals to students, and AP Boxley McDonalds Family restaurants invited students and teachers to apply for an achievement award.

University President Jim Ryan resigned and the university received letters from the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division—detailing concerns—for review, as noted in yesterday’s update.

School officials are examining the details to decide their next steps.

University fourth-year students advised incoming freshmen to explore clubs and build friendships to overcome early college challenges (to ease initial nervousness) and to choose commitments carefully (to avoid feeling spread too thin) for a better college experience.

More than 100 demonstrators gathered at UVA’s Rotunda on Friday afternoon to protest President Jim Ryan’s resignation — they cited federal overreach as the reason.

Virginia's new budget, approved last Tuesday, does not include funding for weight loss drugs, nursing home staffing, or measures to stop vendors from keeping savings after Gov. Youngkin vetoed these items and House Clerk Paul Nardo ruled they were unconstitutional.

Youngkin said his vetoes will stand while state lawmakers and affected parties brace for reduced Medicaid reimbursements (over $10 million at risk) starting July 1.

A judge voided the new zoning ordinance—leaving affordable housing projects in limbo and stalling redevelopment plans for communities like Westhaven and Sixth Street.

City officials will process permits for projects without zoning issues while groups such as the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority and Piedmont Housing Alliance face delays in funding applications—raising uncertainty over when the changes will be resolved.

At Monticello, the 63rd annual Naturalization Ceremony was held Friday — new American citizens and their families listened to filmmaker Ken Burns reflect on America’s 249th anniversary.

Local health experts at UVA and a new biomedical facility are developing treatments for HIV, chronic pain and prostate cancer — while community agencies warn that extreme weather puts homeless residents at risk and loud summer events may lead to hearing loss.

The American Red Cross will host its Broadcasters for Blood drive on Monday July 7 at the Double Tree by Hilton Hotel as hospitals face a dire blood shortage.

The drive aims to collect over 250 donations and offers a free health screening—local businesses are adding prizes to thank donors.
