NEARLY 500 PEOPLE RALLY IN ALBUQUERQUE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AGAINST HATE. THEY CARRIED SIGNS AND CALLED FOR MORE TOLERANCE, AN EFFORT TO COUNTER THE HATE RHETORIC THEY SAY IS PLAYING TOO LARGE A ROLE IN PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS RIGHT NOW. PARTICIPANTS TELL THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL THEY STARTED ORGANIZING AFTER GOP PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL DONALD TRUMP CALLED FOR BANNING ALL MUSLIMS FROM ENTERING THE U-S.
THE JOURNAL SAYS THE RALLY … WAS ORGANIZED BY COMMUNITY GROUPS UNDER THE “ABQ UNITED FRONT AGAINST HATE” BANNER … AND GATHERED IN CIVIL PLAZA SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
