Love counters Hate
Donation protected
Let's turn hate into love!
This Saturday, the anti - Islam group,
Pegida, will be organizing in front of London City Hall in a show of hatred. We can follow the example set forward in Wunsiedel, the German town that was once the site of an annual neo-Nazi march. Individuals and businesses in the town “sponsored” the march, with each metre the neo-Nazis covered raising more money for groups that fight extremism.
I propose we counter this with a per-protester pledge!
For each protester, we raise money for a charity that benefits newcomers to Canada. A flat rate is welcome, too. I'm open to ideas, but am suggesting the Cross-Cultural Learner Centre.
This way, the more people who show up in the spirit of hate, the more the very people they oppose benefit.
Satisfying, yes?
Please join and break down the hatred!
