There has been a flurry of activity on email for the past week about the upcoming visit of a hate group to Charleston, WV (and Wheeling). We need to share our story here on NIOT! I encourage all of you to post some of the things you have shared, your plans, and so forth here on NIOT where we can share our counter protest with a Nation of people who are working toward the same goals.
