White supremacists are planning rallies in cities nationwide this weekend under the banner of “White Lives Matter.”
The rallies by the groups, organized on Facebook and the encrypted messenger app Telegram, are scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m.
New York City, Fort Worth, Texas and Chicago are just a few of the cities that will see rallies.
Details on the gatherings are slim, though they take place as the nation still grapples with the aftermath of the deadly Jan. 6 riot on Capitol Hill when a group of pro-Trump rioters, including some white supremacists, stormed the complex and sent lawmakers fleeing for safety.
The rallies have already drawn planned counterprotests, including in Albuquerque, N.M.
