Montgomery 'HateLess Day' event promotes citywide unity

Attacks from politicians against each other from across the aisle, ads that show the underbelly of all the community’s problems and lack of resources, and social media storms surrounding voting accessibility have the ability to instill a sense of division in the community that lasts long past election day . But Montgomery is preparing for something different entirely this weekend: a day that ignores all that makes people different, and focusing on being “hateless.” “HateLess Day” will celebrate its third annual installment on Nov. 7.
