Cities rally against bigotry in wake of Charlottesville violence

Marches and rallies against hate and violence took place throughout the nation Saturday, including two in New Jersey.
A protest in Newark was billed as a "Love and Peace Town Hall," allowing people to take a stand against bigotry one week after the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Inside Metropolitan Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. David Jefferson put out a call to action. 
"We do not need to stand down. We need to stand up," he said. "That's not the way this country is."
White supremacists, KKK members and neo-Nazis flocked to Charlottesville last weekend for a "Unite the Right" rally. During a clash with counterprotesters, Heather Heyer, 32, was killed when James Alex Fields Jr. allegedly drove into a crowd. Fields Jr. is reportedly a Nazi-sympathizer. 
"It is a coward who refuses to learn about another person. It is a coward of a human being that places us in a box and condemns us for who we are," says state Sen. Teresa Ruiz. 
In Bedminster, a protest rose up where President Donald Trump prefers to vacation. Many are still angry over the president blaming both sides for the events in Charlottesville. 
"This needs to be a point at which Republicans say country above party. Enough is enough," said one protester. 
The largest protest took place in Boston, where a free speech rally was overshadowed by 30,000 counterprotesters. Twenty seven people were arrested, but there was no violence along the lines of Charlottesville. 
President Trump took to Twitter to "applaud the many protesters in Boston."
