Stand together against fear rally in Kalispell on 1 March

Peaceful assemblies to let the world know that Montana is a place of “inclusivity and compassion” will be held in Helena, Missoula, Billings, and Kalispell, on Tuesday, 1 March.

The gatherings are intended to counter the anti-refugee “national security” rallies held recently by Montanans who fear that resettling Syrian refugees under the Big Sky could allow ISIS terrorists to sneak into our state.

Kalispell’s rally begins at 1700 in Depot Park, and ends an hour later with (probably) a group photograph. I’ll be there.

Organizations sponsoring the rallies include Soft Landing Missoula, the Jeanette Rankin Peace Center, Montana Human Rights Network, Montana Women Vote, NCBI, and the Missoula Interfaith Collaborative.

Flathead Memo will supply addition details as they become available.
