People in NYC gathered in support of peace (PHOTOS/VIDEOS).

Tuesday, August 15th, 2017. New York City – Yesterday, Monday, August 14, thousands of people gathered in front of the Trump Tower, the NYC Public Library and Columbus Circle in support of peace.

On Saturday, August 12, 2017, Heather Heyer was killed by a terrorist white man as she protested Neo-Nazism and white supremacy in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Heather loved people! My condolences to her family.

According to The Guardian, “Heather Heyer, 32, a legal assistant from Virginia, was one of 20 people struck by vehicle driven into a crowd of counter-protesters.

Heyer, whose Facebook cover photo read: “If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention”, worked for the Virginia law firm Miller Law and regularly drew attention to cases of police malpractice and racism, as well as posting her support for Bernie Sanders in his presidential campaign.

A friend from childhood, Felicia Correa, who launched a crowdfunding page and said she was speaking for Heyer’s mother, who was not ready to speak in public, said: “She died doing what was right. My heart is broken, but I am forever proud of her.”

Heyer came from Greene County, one of the smallest counties in Virginia, where she graduated from William Monroe high school – motto “Every child, every chance, every day” – and kept in touch with her alumni from the class of 2003.

Heyer’s second last Facebook post, in October 2016, was a link to a site urging those fearful of Muslims to meet and befriend one.”

As hate crimes and hostility toward minorities surge, now more than ever we must stand against those who threaten our brothers and sisters.
