Arlington Unitarian Church to Hold Solidarity Gathering Wednesday

Community members can make signs for Saturday's rally, and write letters to Congressmen.

ARLINGTON— Activists and community members will convene at the First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church on Wednesday evening for a solidarity gathering in the aftermath of the events in Charlottesville.

State Senator Cindy Friedman will begin the evening with remarks at 6:00p.m. The activists will host a series of actions of anyone interested, including a "Sign our Commitment to Change" poster, a postcard writing session to federal agencies on hate crimes and speech, and a card making session to support victims who were injured in the attack on counterprotesters on Saturday.

There will also be a discussion about the "Counter Protest and Resistance Rally" in response to the gathering of white nationalists on Boston Common this Saturday.
