SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. — Organizers rallied on Wednesday in response to what they say are three racist incidents in the Spokane area in the past three months.
The rally took place on Wednesday afternoon at the Walgreens on East Sprague Avenue in Spokane Valley.
The event, organized by Spokane resident Rebekah Mason, is called 'Rally in the Valley: Against Hate.' The rally is a "silent protest to denounce hate acts, racism and white nationalism in our neighborhoods," according to the event's Facebook page.
Spokane NAACP President Kurtis Robinson said the group isn't organizing the event, but is promoting it.

Three 'blatant acts' of racism is the cause for the protest, according to the event page. They said these acts are:
- "White nationalist propaganda" found in books at a Barnes & Noble in September
- Neo-Nazi flyers "promoting white supremacist ideology" placed at the Morning Star Baptist Church in October
- A rock with a racist message attached to it was thrown through the window of the home of Julie Garcia, one of the board members of nonprofit Jewels Helping Hands, on Nov. 8. Jewels Helping Hands has recently been the subject of a City of Spokane investigation into allegations against some of its board members
The event page said the protest is a way to send a message against racism in the Spokane area.
"We need to send a strong, visible message to our community that we stand together against acts of racism," the event post reads. "This is a silent, non-violent protest."
