The first amendment protects free speech and it protected Heather Heyer's right to protest white supremacy at a rally Charlottesville. At her funeral, Heather's mother asked for people to respond with righteous action. Here's a suggestion.
The events of Charlottesville and the response by POTUS have activated many people. For some a Rubicon has been crossed. There will be many marches where people will show up in peace. It will be their righteous action.
If a friend invites you to march but you can't do it or if you would like to march but you are scared ---you can still push back on hate and support peace and have major impact. This will be your righteous action.
When a hate group has a rally or march and others respond with peace why don't you donate to Southern Poverty Law Center? How powerful will it be when the reports come in that there was a hate march in Berkeley or New Jersey or Ohio and Southern Poverty Law received $250,000 donations that weekend!
We can do it.
Here's the link to Donate to Southern Poverty Law Center
