On Sunday evening, Ria Keinert describes how she planned a spontaneous rally, speaking out against the white supremacist and Neo-Nazi rally held over the weekend in Charlottesville, VI, that ended in violence. More than 350 people gathered in the Ames Band Shell Park to listen to speakers and then marched up and down Main Street, bearing signs and chanting slogans. Various people in the demonstration are featured in a recording made at the rally.
Fred Van Liew, part time Iowa resident, explains Van Liew Meditation and Consulting, which teaches the peacemaking process and conflict reconciliation.
Keith Morgan, Emergency Management Coordinator for Story County, and Chris Perrin, Emergency Management and Security Coordinator for Mary Greeley Medical Center, describe the local process of helping health care facilities improve their disaster preparedness.
