VERONA, Va., Aug. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Nexus
Services, Inc., CEO Mike Donovan
announced today that his company would free all pro-civil rights
"counter-protestors" by paying for all bonds stemming from the
arrests of those standing against the "neo-Confederates" in
Charlottesville, Virginia
today.
"We respect the constitutional rights of the citizens' of
Charlottesville, particularly the
young people rallying against hate who attend the University of
Virginia. We also know that many young people lack the money
to secure and post bond. Nexus Services Inc. will help those
counter protesting the neo-Confederate rally, particularly
students, and get help them out of jail and home as soon as
possible."
Nexus Services, Inc. will not secure bond for anyone wearing
masks in public demonstrations that are found to be in violation
the "Ku Klux Klan Act" of 1871.
The bail-assistance hotline is 434-688-0036. Collect calls will
be accepted.
Friends, faculty and relatives are encouraged to share this
number with any one joining the counter-protest against the
neo-Confederates and in need assistance paying bail.
"While we firmly believe in freedom of assembly and freedom of
speech, it appears, however, that those being arrested in
Charlottesville are
disproportionately young students who oppose the presence of the
KKK and the neo-Confederates in their community," said Donovan.
