WHEN: Tomorrow, Friday, August 18 at 12:00 PM ET
The U.S. Conference of Mayors and ADL will hold a news conference call on Friday, August 18 at 12:00 PM ET to make a bipartisan announcement in response to last weekend’s events in Charlottesville, Va. The call will feature:
- Mayor Steve Benjamin, Columbia (SC), USCM Vice President

In the aftermath of the largest gathering of white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and KKK members in more than a decade, mayors across the country have condemned the bigotry and violence seen in Charlottesville. Mr. Greenblatt has condemned the violence and President Trump’s remarks and called on the White House to take action.
On this call, the mayors and ADL will discuss further steps to ensure the bigotry-fueled violence and racist and anti-Semitic hatred witnessed in Charlottesville, Va. will never happen again.
There will be an opportunity for press Q&A immediately following the speakers’ remarks.
All press participating are asked to RSVP to [email protected] and Sara Durr.
