Help stand up to hate in Charlottesville by supporting diversity and equality
Recent events in Charlottesville, Virginia, have shocked citizens across our nation -- but they were even more devastating for those directly involved.
Three lives were lost during the violence in the Southern city: Two police officers who were keeping watch over the protests were killed when their helicopter went down, and 32-year-old Heather Heyer was killed when a car was driven into a crowd of counter-protesters. Dozens of others were injured.
