Let’s unite in Myrtle Beach this weekend

Recent events have galvanized hate groups across the country, some even in our own backyard. In an effort to combat such groups, All Souls Waccamaw is sponsoring the Rally for Human Kindness this Saturday, Dec. 3 at 6 pm in Grand Park.

The Rally for Human Kindness is a non-partisan, interfaith celebration of the worth and dignity of all humankind.

We welcome you to join us regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, political affiliation, or country of origin to stand up for unity, compassion and inclusivity in Myrtle Beach.

We will be collecting donations for the Lowcountry Food Bank, as well as supplies for the Standing Rock Medic Council.

More information can be found on our FaceBook page or at aswuu.org.
