WASHINGTON — A rally to protest the expected presence of white nationalists in D.C. on Sunday plans to feature speakers, music, artists creating murals and a play space for children
“We’ll be highlighting the voices of the marginalized communities that the neo-Nazis want to drive out of our city,” said Mark Lance, professor of philosophy and professor of justice and peace at Georgetown University.
The “rally against hate” will include a coalition of more than 40 organizations. It is planned from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday on Freedom Plaza, which is between 13th and 14th streets Northwest along Pennsylvania Avenue.
“We are going to celebrate all that’s good about this society,” Lance said.
Afterward, Lance said those gathered intend to march to Lafayette Square where the white supremacists’ “Unite the Right” attendees are expected to gather.
“My father enrolled in the military in 1942 to fight the Nazis. I’ve been an activist and an organizer for 35 years around current injustices, trying to build more positive change in this country. I never thought the day would come that I would have to fight his battles,” Lance said.

This is a wonderfully beautiful idea. I support this a multitude of times over any antifa counter protest.

isn't any protest of white nationalists antifa though.

Isn't a protest against fascism, by definition, anti-fascist?

I suspect that DC Police will have a better hand then Cville and Berkley. If not, god help all of you in DC. Shit is gonna get bloody, and quick.

Two radical rallies are bout' to clash, and due to DC laws, I doubt any militia groups like the Pennsylvania Light will show up and help the police and medical groups. I'll be honest with all of you, I fully expect at least three or more deaths.

The fewer guns at this rally the better. We don't need militias showing up
