Kittery Rally Stands Against Spread of Hate on Seacoast: ‘We Need More People to Speak Up’

Every person who lined Route 1 in Kittery, Maine, on July 23 holding signs and flags stood in protest of recent actions by a neo-Nazi group. For Newmarket, New Hampshire, resident John Beyer, who attended with his wife, Donna, the demonstration against hate was personal.

“People don’t pay attention to history and what can happen when it repeats itself,” Beyer said with a frown. “Nazis today, it’s unthinkable.”
