Solidarity with Charlottesville
On Sunday, August 13, at 7 PM, we gathered at City Hall to show our solidarity with Charlottesville, VA and to denounce the white supremacist hatred that was recently on display in Charlottesville.
With our presence, a personal estimate of 200 (400 reported by paper), we mourned those affected by white supremacist terror, demanded that our elected officials condemn the racist views espoused by Unite the Right participants, and publicly committed ourselves to resisting the cancer of white supremacy.
The vigil was sponsored by various community organizing groups, including: Bartholomew County Indivisible, Stand Up for Racial Justice, Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Columbus, IN, First Presbyterian Church, and others.
