Trinity University students, faculty and local residents gathered for a Solidarity Vigil on Aug. 21, 2017  near Miller Fountain on the campus to show support for people affected by Charlottesville and other recent events. The gathering, organized by the Trinity University Humanities Collective, was also to show "ongoing commitment to the humanistic combination of scholarship with allyship and advocacy."

Hundreds of Texans converged on the steps of the State Capitol in Austin to show solidarity with the public workers' unions in Wisconsin. Labeled "Save the American Dream," the rally, organized by MoveOn.org, was one of 50 such gatherings held Saturday, Feb. 26 across the United States.
