Proud Boys burn BLM signs at DC churches

People reportedly affiliated with the hate group Proud Boys tore down Black Lives Matter signs belonging to churches in Washington, DC, on December 12, setting at least one aflame.

The damage to the signs came as the city endured a wave of violence after supporters of President Donald Trump flocked to the nation’s capital to pro­test President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory.

After getting out the vote, Black church leaders look ahead

On the last Sunday of October, Karl Anderson helped arrange a Souls to the Polls event on a blocked-off street in downtown Gainesville, Florida, to encourage people to vote early.

The bipartisan gathering included candidate speeches, free hot dogs and hamburgers courtesy of the NAACP, and live gospel music. Between speeches and music, clergy prayed. Some participants, wary of the coronavirus, watched from a distance in the “park and praise section.”

But the location was the main attraction.
