Sunday, August 27, 1:30-3:30pm, OSU Oval

In the wake of Charlottesville, the fascist “alt-right” has announced their intentions to organize another violent rally in Berkeley, California on August 27. Over eighty Berkeley community organizations have issued a statement asking for supporters to organize solidarity actions against right-wing hate and violence across the country to coincide with their own counter-protests.

In solidarity with Berkeley and all people facing the violence of the far-right, Columbus United Against Hate, an ad hoc working group of community residents and students, is calling for a rally on August 27.

Since far-right groups are targeting university campuses for recruitment, we will be hosting the rally on OSU’s campus. We will send a clear message that the Ohio State and Columbus communities reject right-wing violence and hate and that we will not tolerate it on our campus.

We welcome all members of the Columbus community who reject racism and bigotry to join us.
