BOSTON’S RAINBOW COALITION KICKS NAZI BUTTS

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Forty thousand anti-Nazi demonstrators sent John Medlar and his cowardly band of fascists packing, after only one hour into what was meant to be a five-hour rally. The throngs of anti-white supremacy demonstrators gathered on the Boston Common was made of a diverse coalition. The great majority were there to protest peacefully.

The man in the red shirt getting arrested.

There were heated moments, with approximately two dozen arrests, but the well-prepared and cool heads of Boston Police officers prevailed.

The counter protesters completely eclipsed the fascists.

Hate groups are not welcome in Boston.

Chants such as “Black Lives Matter,” “Whose streets? Our streets,” and “No Trump, No KKK, No Fascist USA.” rang loud and clear throughout the Boston Common.

Led by Commissioner William Evans, the Boston Police presence was tremendous. #bostonstrong

When I can not go to the beach after work, visiting these beautiful horses makes my day. As soon as my truck pulls up they come right up. Sometimes they get so close I can feel them breathing on my neck. Just love how sweet and kind they are.

Dear Friends;

I am requesting your attendance in support of a proclamation condemning the prejudice that took place last week in Virginia. I’ve asked the Council to join me, which they did whole heartedly.

We are signing the proclamation together on Tuesday, August 22, 2017, at 7 pm in the Kyrouz Auditorium.
We will then send a copy to the Mayor of Charlottesville and the Governor of Virginia, including the President. We will not stand for hatred in our City or Country.
Warmest regards

Sefatia Romeo Theken
Mayor, City of Gloucester, MA
