A rally for peace was held in Green Bay on Tuesday in response to the violence in Charlottesville, VA.

The CityDeck saw close to 90 people who turned out in support of peace and kindness.

People brought flowers, signs of support and joined in a giant circle to represent hope.

"Basically, we want to begin the process of teaching peace. Because hate is taught, and hate is not something that you're born with, it has to be taught to you. So, we want to approach that with a message of peace," said Loren Prince, the event organizer.

"We will not respond to these events with any message of anger or aggression towards those involved. We want to live in a community and a country where people of all races, religions, sexual orientations, (etc.) can gather together peacefully as fellow Americans and human beings," reads a statement from organizers.

Last weekend, white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and the KKK descended on Charlottesville to protest the city's plan to remove a statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee. The rally was dubbed "Unite the Right."

The nationalist groups were met by anti-racist protesters.

Chaos erupted Saturday when a white nationalist allegedly drove his car into a group of counter-protesters.

Counter-protester Heather Heyer was killed. More than a dozen people were hurt, some with serious injuries.

Twenty-year-old James Alex Fields is charged with second degree murder and malicious wounding. He's being held without bail.

One of Fields' former teachers told the Associated Press that Fields admired Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany.

The organizers of the Green Bay peace rally say it will include songs, prayers, poems, and dances. They're welcoming messages of peace and harmony.
