These "Fight Supremacy" Tweets Show Boston's Counter-Protest Completely Dominating The Free Speech Rally

A week after a white nationalist rally in Virginia ended in deadly violence a controversial "free speech" rally in Boston on Saturday has spurred thousands of counter-protesters into the streets. In fact, tweets from the Fight Supremacy counter-protest in Boston show the event has drawn thousands of supporters and attendees, overshadowing the controversial Boston Free Speech Rally its opposing. Organizers behind Fight Supremacy, a counter-protest march from the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center to Boston Common, hope to let white supremacists know their rhetoric of hate and fear has no place in Boston.

Although organizers behind the Boston Free Speech Rally have disavowed any connection to last week's white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, many counter-protesters appear unconvinced the event is not a thinly-veiled attempt to promote a similar message of hate and bigotry. "As we have seen with the events in Charlottesville and around the country, white nationalists are emboldened by the current political administration and growing police state," organizers behind Fight Supremacy wrote on the event's Facebook page. "Rallies and marches organized by white supremacists are more prevalent than in recent years, and—as always—it is the most marginalized who are left vulnerable."

Saturday's Fight Supremacy counter-protest was jointly organized by Violence In Boston, Angie Camacho, Black Lives Matter Network, Black Lives Matter Cambridge, and Black Lives Matter Boston.
