Join Tosa Together and Indivisible Tosa in mourning for the victims of hate in Charlottesville at a witness on Friday, Aug. 18th from 5:00 – 6pm at the corner of 76th and North Ave (meet on City Hall corner). We will peacefully line the sidewalk with signs denouncing hate and welcoming diversity to show that we value diversity, inclusion, equity and justice for all in Tosa and across the country.
