Spring Campaign Idea: Establish a PILOT Program for UVA

# data[].attributes.body
PILOT = payments in lieu of taxes program

why: UVA is tax exempt as a university, since it provides the public good of "education." With the estimated $9 million UVA would pay in taxes (if it voluntarily contributed 100% of its estimated taxes through a PILOT program), the city would have enough funding to enable considerable investment in the local public school system as well as affordable housing without having to raise taxes for local residents. UVA essentially functions as a for-profit enterprise while maintaining non-profit status, is the largest landowner in the metro-area, and only contributed 33K in taxes in the last fiscal cycle to the city of Charlottesville. The university has an endowment of over 15 billion. Achieving an effective PILOT program in the city would enable the strengthening of the multi-racial working class in Charlottesville in many ways. The money would contribute to key services community members need to afford to live in the city. See the site "Land and Legacy" to learn more. - Sloane Daly

I want to meet more socialists who are college students(especially socialists of color at this school). I want to learn from those who have organizing experience. I was curious about what the structure of YSDA looked like. I was hoping to learn about/get a feel for what YSDAs ideology is.

I'm really excited to volunteer at my nonprofit that works with peaceful protesting and mass mobilization

More pushing for divestment and the inclusion of environmental justice in eco-soc  and ydsa as a whole

I want to organize more protests around campus in order to achieve our goals as I feel this like nothing else not only is an effective tactic at announcing our demands but also educates more people about our cause

I want to see members of YDSA put on some insightful ass political education events

- establish a universal policy for professors on how to accommodate immunocompromised/ill students
- maybe work with studco to integrate the classroom collaborative plan into support and access services? could act as a data base of notes once enough information is collected among different groupme's/individuals
- work to continue to advocate for paying SDAC notetakers, needs to be incentivized so students feel they can trust the quality of notes done by their peers ---> maybe push for having a requirement of at least 2 notetakers per course (when that accommodation applies to a student in the class) so that the info in the notes can be cross-referenced
- illness, being immunocompromised, and other disabilities should not be a barrier to educational success at the university
- involvement with disability awareness week (feb.4) through a political education event on the intersection between socialist and disability rights organizing - this is short notice but the CIO to contact is CIDC (they are in charge of the schedule of events for the week)
- make covid testing accessible for students
- considering current construction across grounds - possibly engage in awareness campaign around UVA's history of land banking and displacement of charlottesville community members? (I realize this doesn't neccesarily tie into other goals but recently read about the topic for a course)

I'd like to get involved w/ mutual aid. Also, the socialist circles sounds really cool!

I want to meet more like minded people through YDSA. I took a step back from political involvement because of the toll it took on my mental health but I'm ready to get back into the issues I care about.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm really excited to work on the mutual aid campaign! I enjoyed helping out last spring and I think the community could really use it right now
