York Stands in Solidarity vigil planned Sunday

Members of several York groups plan a candlelight vigil Sunday, Aug. 13, to show solidarity against the white nationalist groups who marched in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday.

York Stands in Solidarity will take place 8:30-9:30 p.m. Sunday in front of the York County Administrative Center, 28 E. Market St.

Members of Indivisible York and groups involved with the Women's March, Democracy for America, Working Families Party and several other activist organizations are leading the vigil, according to Marta Peck of Indivisible York.

The vigil will be led by the Rev. Christopher Rodkey of St. Paul's United Church of Christ in Dallastown.

Anyone who wants to participate in the peaceful vigil is welcome to attend, Peck said in an email.

The intent is "To send a message to other racists and fascists out there: we will win, and we are bonded together in our commitment against oppression. To stand together and say explicitly that white supremacy has no place in our society," Peck said.

The groups they are protesting grow fat on “solidarity vigils.”

Sort of surprising - York is in a fairy conservative area in midsouthern Pennsylvania, not far from Lancaster and Amish country - I predict a rather small “vigil” - but when the virtue-signaling starts, everybody wants to show off.....

11:25pm, watching/listening to local news on YDR.com, and nothing of note is happening. If they come into East York looking for trouble and confrontation, they’ll be headlines tomorrow.

Indivisible York is a DNC front group designed to sucker folks into political activism on behalf of the Uniparty Democrats.

They have “Indivisible” chapters all over the country in many locales.

Astroturf for the Democrats.

Those idiots should be thankful the Klan is reduced to a bunch of mumbling old men in shacks. Back in the day that kind of gathering, especially by defenseless idiots who were already perverts and traitors, was known as a “target rich environment”.

The usual suspects.

Including the rainbow flag cheerleading UCC pastor from Dallastown. Methinks he has some First Commandment issues.
