People from across the state are organizing vigils and rallies to stand in solidarity with the victims of the weekend violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, that left one dead and 19 injured.
The anti-hate protests in Maine began on Saturday night, when about 50 people gathered on the Eastern Promenade to stand up for the victims of the violence in Virginia, the Portland Press Herald reported.
By Sunday morning, nearly a dozen more rallies had been announced for Sanford, Skowhegan, Rockland, Bar Harbor, Machias, Houlton, Bangor, Cumberland, Norway and Monument Square in Portland, according to the group Indivisible’s website.
In addition, those unable to attend an event are encouraged to place a lit candle in a window to show their support for Charlottesville and those targeted by the hate groups.
