Also related, apparently a retired city planner had advocated for restoring the falls and river in #FallRiver that were buried under I195 in the 1960s.

FAS Comrades joined other antifascist groups and individuals on Saturday to defend Fall River LGBTQ and families. Here's our report.

Over 100 people mobilized yesterday in front of the #FallRiver library in #Massachusetts, in defense of a drag story hour event that month saw counter-protesters squaring off against over a dozen neo-Nazis.

Community members mobilized to ensure that the event would be protected in the face of the white supremacists mobilizing again. In the end, only a handful of protesters did materialize.
