The out-of-state KKK is holding a press conference and is in town to support one of their members who is having a hearing and is held without bond for allegedly shooting at someone... someone who actually lives in our extended community.

I have understood for a long time the modalities and responses to interpersonal abuse. Never have I believed that an entire community as a whole could be susceptible to such abuse.

(by community I mean the narrower meaning of specific small group of individuals specific to one locality/organization. Of course I am aware of patterned violence against Black communities.)

I am nowhere nearby. But I would gladly pledge to donate $5 per kkk member per hour of rally to the SPLC, NAACP, or whatever local community organization is locally most effective.

Charlottesville, Virginia.

Jesus Christ. Do you guys have a GDC to reach out to?
-
Drawing a mental blank on GDC
-
General defense committee. I figured since everything went down that you guys might at least have a IWW presence in the surrounding area
-
Oh right. Um, not really, not specific to Cville.
-
Well if they're anything like mine I'm sure they'd jump at the chance to run some kind of disrupt or get some intel for doxx purposes

Are they scared or emboldened?
-
They are definitely emboldened by our city government's weak response.

That like was in support, not liking the situation.

Is there an art community in the area? I only have a seed of an idea, but thinking they could request space near the rally to display art. Police would have to protect their property?
-
They could do this recurring on the dates it's anticipated the KKK would be showing up and request the space they think the KKK would want. Try to beat them to it. Maybe make art displays specifically aimed at community and diversity.
-
That doesn't really work like that.
