Indivisible Greenwich Hosts 'Vigil For Charlottesville'

GREENWICH, CT — More than 100 rallied during an Indivisible Greenwich gathering at Town Hall in Greenwich Sunday evening to show their support for Charlottesville and the victims of Saturday's violence at a white supremacists' march.

Heather Heyer, 32, was killed during the Charlottesville march when a car driven by suspected Nazi sympathizer Alex Fields, Jr., of Ohio, plowed into a crowd of pedestrians and counterprotesters. Dozens were injured and two Virginia state troopers, H. Jay Cullen and Berke M. M. Bates, were killed in a helicopter crash responding to the violence.

Sunday's rally in Greenwich was one of dozens throughout the United States on Sunday in support of Charlottesville, many of which were organized by other Indivisible groups.

"I want to thank you for standing up, speaking out and being here on a Sunday afternoon when many of you have plenty of other things to do," said U. S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), a Greenwich resident who spoke at the Sunday rally with Indivisible Greenwich founder Joanna Swomley. "But this is what Democracy looks like. I feel so deeply about this moment in our history when our Democracy is threatened by forces that we need to stop."
