A local Black Lives Matter leader says his group has a new weapon to use against hate groups wreaking havoc across the country — love.

Bronx activist Hawk Newsome said the new weapon will be on display when a coalition of groups start their march next Friday from New York City to Washington for an Aug. 12 protest to mark last year’s violent Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va. .

Hundreds of white supremacists and counterprotesters clashed at the Unite the Right rally before a car plowed into a crowd of people, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer.

Organizers behind the United the Right rally will be in D.C. to mark the anniversary, and Newsome said he wants to be there with a message of love to drown out the hateful rhetoric.
