Stand Together Against Violence rally in Kalispell today

The rally, which begins at 1700 in Depot Park, is one of five in Montana today, all sponsored by the Montana Human Rights Network. Love Lives Here in the Flathead is organizing the Depot Park affair, and urges those attending to bring signs:

Feel free to make signs:
“No Hate, No Fear, No Violence.
Not in Our Town!”
Or bring candles as we stand in solidarity against hate.

It’s probably best to leave signs of the “Trump is a Bigot!” genre in your garage. It’s not that he isn’t a bigot, but that the rally is supposed to be nonpartisan.

The rallies are being held as counters to the 500-person anti-refugee rallies held in Hamilton and Kalispell in recent weeks.

The NWS predicts a 60 percent chance of rain or snow, 44°F, and a nine mph wind, for the rally.
