These "Boston Resist" Tweets Are A Powerful Rallying Cry Against The Free Speech Rally

On Saturday, thousands of counter-protesters gathered ahead of a Free Speech Rally in Boston. Many of those attending the Fight Supremacy counter-protest feared the "free speech" rally would incite white supremacist violence similar to what broke out in Charlottesville last weekend. Throughout the morning, anti-racist activists from Antifa, Black Lives Matter and other leftist groups congregated in the Boston Common, far outnumbering those attending the white supremacist rally.

On Friday, the Boston Mayor Marty Walsh urged constituents to stay clear of the Boston Common and the alt-right rally. "They say that interacting with these groups just gives them a platform to spread their message of hate. They recommend that people should not confront these rallies. So we’re urging everyone to stay away from the Common," Walsh said, referencing a conversation with The Southern Poverty Law Center.

The turnout on Saturday suggests that concerned Boston didn't take Walsh's advice to remain complacent, which has resulted in a large peaceful gathering of Fight Supremacy protesters far outshadowing the white supremacists. This serves as an example of safety in numbers, that is -- when the numbers are in favor of the anti-racist resisters.

Unsurprisingly, the internet is already flooding with "Boston Resist" tweets both from those on the scene, and people expressing solidarity from afar.
