Boston Counter-Protesters Feel “Stood Up” By Lack Of Nazis

Editors note: Coverage of the Boston protest provided by our Media Consortium partners at DigBoston and the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism Tens of thousands of anti-racist protesters flooded Boston Common on Saturday, a few of them with hopes of punching nazis, but there weren’t nearly enough faces to go around. In the wake of last weekend’s showdown in Charlottesville, Virginia between white supremacists and anti-racist demonstrators, international eyes were on the Common, where a so-called “Free Speech” rally was expected to be met by scores of counter-protesters.

How Boston Counter-Protesters Organized Against “Free Speech” Rally

Editors note: Coverage of the Boston protest provided by our Media Consortium partners at DigBoston and the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism As tens of thousands of protesters marched from Roxbury, through the South End, and towards Boston Common on Saturday, another resistance action took place across the street from the Massachusetts State House. Planned in response to the “Free Speech” rally, with organizers beginning to put plans in motion even before the events in Charlottesville, Virginia last week, the Stand For Solidarity Rally was meant to be visible opposition to what the Facebook event describes as “grass-roots led, far-right mobilizations.” Led by C.O.M.B.A.T., the ANSWER Coalition, Boston Party for Socialism and Liberation, and Boston Democratic Socialists of America, organizers told DigBoston that they estimated approximately 1,000 people but, due to the crowd sizes around Boston Common, it was impossible to tell how many participants were actually there.

About The UpTake

The UpTake is an independent, nonprofit (501 c 3) online news organization that began its work in 2007 with a few simple ideas: That media should find and tell the truth without fear or favor; that citizens have the tools to report and explain events without relying on news controlled by large corporations; and that it is the duty of citizens to hold power accountable and to make government transparent to the governed.

Running For St. Paul: DFL Mayoral Candidate Forum

Differences among the candidates were more in emphasis than in priorities: everyone spoke about the importance of education, jobs, and affordable housing, as well as parks and rec, libraries, transportation, and investment in neighborhoods.
