Celebrities Mourn Heather Heyer, Victim at Charlottesville White Supremacist Rally
Heather Heyer was murdered at the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia on Saturday (August 12) while standing up to racism and hatred as one of the counter-protesters.
The 32-year-old paralegal was standing up to injustice as one of the counter-protesters in Charlottesville when a car senselessly drove into the crowd. James Fields Jr., the man driving the car, has been charged with 2nd degree murder.
Heather‘s last visible post on her public Facebook page reads, “If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.”
We’re sending our condolences to Heather‘s loved ones, and mourn her tragic loss.
Celebrities have been taking to social media to honor Heather.
My heart breaks for Heather Heyer, murdered for standing up for love. Hatred cannot smother her flame. We will love harder in her name. RIP

White supremacist #JamesAlexFields murdered #HeatherHeyer and injured 35 others. He is a home-grown terrorist.
Call it what it is.

Metaphorically speaking, yesterday the President stood in the middle of 5th Ave and shot somebody. Her name was Heather Heyer.
