Nashville Together and JCRC Actions August 2024
Nashville has been facing a vexing problem, with a revolving door of white nationalist groups coming to call over the past months. There were so many of these groups that it started to receive national and even international attention, including the Jerusalem Post reporting, “Nashville has a Nazi problem: Jews face two weeks of neo-Nazi invasion.” The disturbance and disruption from these groups could not continue unabated. It’s hard to know what to do in response, since counter protest and reactions is what these groups hope to provoke, but doing nothing is simply not an option. Nashville Together became the rallying cry and on July 21, close to 1,000 people gathered with us at Bicentennial Park to stand up loudly and proudly for the values of civility, decency, diversity, and respectful community, making clear that the work of these hate bias groups is not welcome here.
