HARTFORD - People of all different creeds, races, and backgrounds came to the steps of the state capital on Sunday for a singular reason – they said to abolish hate and bigotry.
“We’re here to stand up to bigotry, hatred in all its forms, and to promote love for all and hatred for none,” said Spokesperson for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community CT Baitul Aman Mosque in Meriden, Zahir Mannan to the crowd.
Mannan was one of dozens of interfaith leaders who spoke at the rally, alongside Senator Richard Blumenthal, and representatives for the NAACP.
“Hatred is feeling more entitled today,” said Mannan. “And we need to counter that narrative and that ideology.”
