In response to the planned Patriot Prayer “Freedom Rally” in Crissy Field (permit was approved, but since canceled) and the planned “No to Marxism” Rally in Berkeley (Denied a permit and canceled), organizers have put together a rally opposing these groups on the Crescent Lawn at UC Berkeley on Sunday, August 27th.

From the Event Organizers:

*****Update: We fully intend on moving forward with our rally even after hearing news that white supremacist groups were not granted permits.*****

We’re residents of the Bay Area — people of color, working class people, immigrants, queer, lesbian, gay, bi, and trans people, liberals, leftists, and others. We think it’s time to get together, to celebrate our differences in solidarity, and peacefully speak out against the hateful currents in American society.

Fascists and white supremacists are meeting in Berkeley to try to intimidate us and incite violence. We’re meeting near UC Berkeley campus, blocks away and on the other side of the downtown, for a peaceful rally to speak to each other about the world we want. Join us, bring snacks, bring signs!
