WASHINGTON, D.C., August 12, 2018, Thousands of counter-protesters took to the parks and streets of Washington, D.C. in response to a planned “Unite the Right 2” rally of white nationalists on the one year anniversary of deadly violence in Charlottesville, VA. The 2018 edition of the racially charged “right wing” event proved to be a failure for organizers as less than 20 individuals made an appearance in front of the White House rally site, and appeared to make a hasty departure despite police escort and protection. The energized counter-protesters, better organized and with an exponentially larger presence, at times vocalized anti-fascist and anti-racist sentiments, but was mostly contained by a large police presence. During the 1917 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, one counter-protester, Heather Heyer, was killed by a neo-nazi and two Virginia state troopers died in a helicopter accident.

Washington DC, June 25, 2017. Around two hundred supporters of DC United Against Hate gathered in front of the Lincoln Memorial to protest an Alt-Right "Free Speech Rally" being held just down the hill. The Park Police did a fine job of keeping the two groups separated. There was no violence and no arrests.
"UNITED AGAINST HATE"... Street protestors in Brattleboro, Vermont. I applaud the sentiment, and hope it represents the start of a movement that can transcend political party and race. Even though Vermont is home to Bernie Sanders and to many voters who supported Obama, we know people who personally experience racism from neighbors and those in authority here in the second whitest state in the union (after Maine). IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE RACISM STILL EXISTS WHERE YOU LIVE, YOU ARE WHITE! (Or for most of us living in northern New England, substitute "WE" for "YOU"?) But what can an individual do to encourage positive change, so far from the epicenter of politics in this country? How about joining and supporting the NAACP, for a start...

Father John read a statement from the Catholic council condemning the behavior of the White Supremacists. He was contacted about the vigil rather late, so he showed up in jeans and tee-shirt.
Reverend Kimberly Chastain watched the behavior of the White Supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, and wondered why nobody in Binghamton was doing anything about it. Then she realized that she had a church, with a sound system, and the Christmas candles, and she knew a lot of the other clergy in town. She put a post in Facebook that there would be a non-denominational vigil in front of the United Presbyterian Church on Sunday evening. The local newspaper picked it up and posted it, as well. They were hoping to get 70 people. I stopped counting at 200.

You had a diverse crowd for something that was as spur of the moment as this vigil. One of the kids showed some enterprise and brought a sign he had made.

The Rabbi read a few things from Jewish thinkers about the persecution of those who are different. They were based on experience.

Washington DC, Sunday August 12, 2018. Over ten thousand folks gathered here today to confront what turned out to be a tiny group of about fifteen white supremacists led by Jason Kessler, the organizer of the infamous and deadly 2017 Unite The Right melee in Charlottesville, Virginia. Kessler planned today's Unite The Right 2 event as a celebration of what he accomplished in Charlottesville last year. The anti-racist activists assembled at various points downtown and marched to confront Kessler's band of masked cowards in Lafayette Square in front of the White House. A huge cohort of DC and other police kept the two groups separated. The massive turnout today was widely seen as yet another rebuke of Donald J. Trump's presidency, especially his engagement with racist far right political extremism.

I wonder how many people carrying these signs knew they were promoting the Revolutionary Communist Party?
It was interesting the mix of people who came to the vigil. You had conservative looking men in button-down shirts, but you also had a man in shorts and a Harley-Davidson tee-shirt, saying that some behavior would not be tolerated.
