Members of Watertown Citizens for Peace Justice and the Environment joined the counter protest to the “Free Speech Rally,” in Boston on Saturday.

A group from Watertown joined the counter-protesters at Saturday’s Free Speech Rally in Boston Common a week after a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., ended in violence.

Members of Watertown Citizens for Peace, Justice and the Environment headed to Roxbury Crossing to take part in the march to Boston Common, and met other Watertown residents at the counter protest.

The aim of the march was to protest the racism, religious hatred and violence that has been rising throughout the country in recent months, as well as countering the “Free Speech Rally,” said Sue-Ellen Hershman-Tcherepnin, a member of Watertown Citizens.

“Along the route, everyone among us and around us was inspired by the massive turnout, the positive spirit and the mutual support that was everywhere in evidence,” Hershman-Tcherepnin said.
