Hundreds gathered in Latham Square to rally and then march in solidarity with Charlottesville’s anti-fascist protesters and Heather Heyer, the woman killed by a madman yesterday who plunged his car into the crowd.
One of the many chants of the up to 500 people who took to the streets was “No Trump! No KKK! No. Fascist. USA!”
Here are some tweets, tweetpics and tweetvideos of the event:

After dispersing from the freeway, the march eventually headed back to Oscar Grant Plaza with no arrests and ended without drama.
