Charlottesville solidarity rallies in Grand Rapids

From WOOD TV 8:

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Large crowds gathered at rallies in West Michigan cities Sunday to denounce the white supremacists who converged  on a Virginia city and show solidarity with those killed and injured  when a car rammed into a group of counter-protesters.

In Grand Rapids, the local chapter of the Democratic Socialists of  America and Minorities United Front partnered to host a peace rally in  Rosa Parks Circle followed by a solidarity march to Ah-Nab-Awen Park.

“No Nazis, no KKK, no fascist USA,” hundreds of marchers chanted. “No hate, no fear, everyone is welcome here!”

The demonstrators held signs that read “Love is stronger than hate,”  and “Good night white pride.” One read simply, “Understanding.”

A candlelight vigil will be held at Ah-Nab-Awen Park around 7 p.m.
