Hundreds turn out for counter-protest ahead of ‘Unite the Right 2’ rally
A group called refusefascism.org set up a booth with signs saying: “The Trump/Pence regime must go! In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America!”
“Refusefascism.org exists with the single unifying mission of driving out this regime,” RefuseFascism.org spokeswoman Samantha Goldman told The Hill.
“And when I say drive out, I am talking about sustained, mass non-violent resistance. It’s not some harebrained idea: Armenia, three months ago; South Korea, two years ago; Egypt before that.”

She noted that although she is pleased there are hundreds who turned out on Sunday, she thinks there should be “thousands.”
