Thanks so much for adding this video! It's fantastic to see the turnout and positive spirit in the face of WBC's hateful message.
Your video is very timely since the Phelps crew is coming to the SF Bay Area this week. Several schools and Jewish organizations have been targeted. Would it be OK if I shared your video on our FB page or blog? I think people would be very inspired!

Yes, feel free to share with others.
Please keep in mind that the ADL and other organizations has recommended that when the WBC comes to a synagogue or other Jewish organization, the best thing to do is ignore them. I agree with that.
But when they come to a college campus, the culture is completely different, so it was necessary to bring people together in a show of unity against hate.
All the best,
