Montgomery 'HateLess Day' event promotes citywide unity

Americans have been embroiled in negativity in the weeks leading up to Nov. 3. 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. The event centers on spreading love and connection and acknowledging the humanity of people in the community, said Jarvis Provitt, the founder of the HateLess Foundation . “Helping those [in need] and being able to hug those that say, ‘Hey, I haven’t eaten since yesterday, I didn’t eat at all, but now that you showed up, you helped me with this.’ Hearing these stories about the impact we’re making not just here but across the globe is a great way that I can see the fulfillment [from this] that’s tangible,” Provitt said. On Nov. 7, the HateLess Foundation will be offering
