Gathering to witness against hate

I've been trying to find out what the plans are for countering the militia protest in Verona.

I know Nexus Services has booked a stage, so I went looking for information.

I'm only finding information on Facebook, that a gathering to witness against hate will be held at the Nexus Services campus at the same time as the militia's rally.


Message from Nexus Services CEO, Mike Donovan:
Nexus appreciates the professionalism of the Augusta County Sheriff and the Virginia State Police in notifying us of the planned white supremacist and militia protests of our campus this Saturday.
We will have a witness against hate event at our campus during the white supremacist protest. Please message Jen Little, Tiffany Jackson, or myself if you’d like to join us.
Hate, bigotry, and violence will not stand in the face of people gathered in love, united by hope, and committed to standing witness to the redemptive power of affirming the inherent worth and dignity of each and every person.

2. Charlottesville is more than 40 miles away and on the other side of the mountains

It is very conservative in the area of Verona. The militia members perhaps think they will have more support there.

The RWNJ are upset about the immigrants bail services. I guess I implied that was all that they did, thanks for expanding that.

Charlottesville people will be supporting the Nexus Services' gathering. Some will be able to attend.
