A protest in Burlington Sunday to voice opposition to the Unite the Right Rally in Washington, D.C.

It happened at City Hall Park. Dozens came out to show their support for the counter-protesters in the nation's capital. Organizers of the rally say they felt it was important for their group in Burlington to show that they stand against racism and hate in the community.

"They're swimming in the stream of Trump in the White House. I think it's a very dangerous situation when he's there in the White House, feeding them the ideas that they can then organize around," said Paul Fleckenstein, from the International Socialists Organization.

The rally was put on by the Vermont Peace and Justice Center as well as various socialist groups in Burlington.
