Confronting White Supremacists on Stone Mt. Apr. 23

Some MADSA members joined Rise Up, Black Lives Matter and other groups in a counter-demonstration protesting the rally called by the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacists on Stone Mountain April 23. Only a few dozen white supremacists showed up; the anti-racist side numbered at least 100, some say 400 (there was more than one gathering, in at least three locations). Some counter-demonstrators were arrested for wearing masks and one for allegedly throwing a smoke bomb at police. See Rise Up’s excellent statement about the event, including a photo of Joel Solow and Daniel Hanley, at http://www.riseupga.org/time2escalate_statement.
