The members of the United States Section of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF US), working in support of peace and social justice since our founding in 1915, abhor and condemn the immoral, reprehensive and lethal actions undertaken under the specious guise of “free speech” in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday, August 12, 2017. The rally and speeches in support of racism and white supremacy and other kinds of hatred, and the discrimination, violence and death resulting from it are reprehensible and illegal under many Federal statutes and state and local laws.
