The alt-right “Free Speech” rally is still moving forward as scheduled despite incredible public pressure and multiple controversial speakers dropping out of the line-up. But this decision should not be left to white nationalists.
The event’s organizers now have the permits necessary to rally on public grounds. But their presence is a threat to public safety and they are unwelcome. It’s time for the city’s leadership to end this!
SIGN AND SEND A LETTER TO MAYOR WALSH
We must not let another tragedy like Charlottesville terrorize our cities. We must not let hate win.
Keep fighting,

P.S. You can read email I sent earlier about this awful rally below.
Connie b, last week a white nationalist march in Charlottesville, VA resulted in violence, grave injury, and death. Now another group of white supremacists wants to rally in Boston this Saturday, under the guise of protecting free speech.
We need to send a strong message that we will not give quarter to bigots and their hate speech. Hate speech leads to hate crimes and prejudiced policies like those Trump wants to advance. We won’t let white nationalists terrorize our communities.

At least 1,000 people are expected to attend the rally on Saturday. While this event’s organizers are distancing themselves from the terroristic violence in Charlottesville, the line-up still boasts two speakers affiliated with the so-called “alt-right,” more accurately known as white nationalists.
Boston mayor Martin Walsh opposes this toxic rally, especially in light of last week’s tragedy, so much that he’s willing to join the counterprotest if the event isn’t cancelled. However, from his position, he must take bold action to prevent the cancer of racism, bigotry, and hate to spread any further.
