United to Love Rally: 11a-3 p.m., Sunday, August 12, at the National Mall between 3rd and 4th NW.
If you can't physically make any of the events or are too worried about safety to head out in person, George Washington University students Kendall Keelen and Allison Herrity have you covered.
"It was really important to me that there are ways that people who have disabilities, chronic health issues. or other reasons they can't protest physically have an opportunity to do something," said Herrity, a rising Junior at GWU.
Herrity and Keelen are the brains behind the fundraiser "Stomp out Hate." For every step protestors take, donors can send a few cents to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
"Last night we were at $500 when we went to bed," Herrity said. "We had set out goal at $5,000. It would be great it we achieve that. It would be even better if we exceed that."
Herriy and Keelen mapped out the protest path and say it equals about to about 1,500 steps.
The fundraiser launched on Tuesday. As of 4:45 p.m. Friday, they had raised $3,788 from more than 50 donors.
